Mettler-Toledo V13 Flat Pack Label Inspection system

Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has launched an automated, full label inspection service for food manufacturers. The technology is designed to inspect 100% of products and shapes and identify 100% of label data and quality challenges.

The portfolio, comprising V13 Flat Pack Label, CV and CMV Combination, provides for 100% automated label inspection in high-speed production lines and can achieve documented label inspection in line with industry guidelines such as the BRCGS.

The system can be easily integrated into existing production lines, either as installation kits, standalone systems or combined with other Mettler-Toledo product inspection devices, such as checkweighers, metal detectors or X-ray systems.

The V13 Flat Pack Label Inspection carries out label inspection from the bottom up to inspect labels on the underside of flat packs. The standalone solution offers configurable material handling options and can be extended with top and side smart cameras.

The CV Combination is a fully integrated system for weight control and completeness checking combined with label inspection for all product shapes.

The CMV Combination three-in-one inspection solution delivers metal detection, weight control and label inspection in one fully integrated and space-saving device. Its configuration is flexible and can be designed to match application needs.

Whether it’s checking the right product is in the right package, the codes are readable and the ingredients such as allergens are correct, the new label inspection offering from Mettler-Toledo can detect all non-conformity.

The offering includes Mettler-Toledo smart cameras to inspect oriented products from the side and top. The smart line scan camera inspects labels or prints on the underside of products and offers a 360° degree inspection head for checking round objects. The cameras can be mixed and matched to suit the user’s production needs and can also be used to inspect caps and lids. The software is easy to use, featuring a dedicated tool set for label inspection that helps with product set-up. Additionally, it offers Software Tooltips, which are inspection tools to intuitively guide operators through the image processing settings such as lights, shutter or focus to maximise image quality. The technology can be retrofitted onto existing Mettler-Toledo equipment for space savings.
