Conveyor belt coupling system

Conveyor belt coupling system

INSPECTRA Bulk Inspector equipment is a fresh or bulk product inspection device on a conveyor belt, incorporating the most advanced vision technologies and artificial intelligence. It is an industrial equipment prepared for the conditions of work in the food industry.

The equipment is equipped with high speed technology HSP® by INSPECTRA, and depending on its specific configuration and application it additionally incorporates hyperspectral vision technology CHP® and artificial intelligence Easy AI® by INSPECTRA, which enables it to achieve high inspection power.

 

 

The Bulk Inspector equipment analyses the face of the food product on the conveyor belt. For specific applications with blocks of fresh product, it is also capable of inspecting the underside.

Specific inspection configurations

Functionalities

The equipment can be coupled via quick connectors to the customer’s conveyor belt and allows for different configurations with an optional customised design, depending on the application.

  • Detection of surface foreign bodies, including those with the same colour shade as the food product distinguishable by spectral signature or artificial intelligence (e.g. plastics, wood, etc.).
  • Analysis of quality problems distinguishable by spectral signature or artificial intelligence (e.g. shells, bone, etc.).
  • Application specific instrument configurations for evaluation and classification of surface quality parameters (e.g. proportion of components, proportion of defective product, etc.)

Models and options

BULK INSPECTOR STANDARD​

The Standard model is the equipment for inspections with RGB technology.

BULK INSPECTOR ADVANCED​

The Advanced model, in addition to using RGB technology, incorporates advanced inspection functions using hyperspectral vision.

Vision technologies

High-speed vision performance

Our high-speed INSPECTRA HSP®, technology enables us to offer the fastest in- line inspection speeds on the market. Our extensive experience in the development of innovative inspection equipment for the most demanding production processes in the food industry has enabled us to develop and optimise the most advanced processing hardware and software architectures. We include parallelisation technology with an efficient distribution of processing threads with state-of-the-art hardware.

 

The high speeds and performance of our equipment allow us to process a huge amount of data and act in very short times with the rejection systems.


Artificial
intelligence

Our equipment can optionally incorporate artificial intelligence technology by Deep Learning for advanced inspections. We have adapted the technology and called l INSPECTRA Easy AI® Through a preliminary training phase, the processing system is able to automatically learn the type of defect being inspected, offering high inspection power and throughput.

 

We have accumulated extensive experience and case studies of process information in the food industry, which allows us to have the best performance in neural networks.

Hyperspectral - monospectral vision

Our equipment can optionally incorporate INSPECTRA CHP® hyperspectral- monospectral vision technology for advanced inspections.

 

NIR/SWIR vision, above the visible range in the electromagnetic spectrum, can detect defects that cannot be seen in sight, and is also capable of inspecting through some packaging films with opaque inks.

 

Hyperspectral inspection processing requires high processing power, which our electronic architectures handle efficiently and in a very short time.

 

This technology allows to detect complex welding defects in packaging or foreign bodies that can not be distinguished by RGB and AI processing.


Combination
of technologies

INSPECTRA machines can combine several vision technologies simultaneously, when required. This allows for increased throughput and inspection functionalities depending on the type of packaging and specific product defects to be inspected. Our extensive experience in packaging inspection allow us to select the best combination of technologies for your specific application.

 

In addition, the devices are scalable and flexible and can be adapted to new inspection requirements through special adaptations.
