Bottle Fill Level Detection for Stable 1000 BPM Lines
For glass bottle packaging lines, liquid level consistency is a direct quality checkpoint. When production speed rises, manual inspection becomes difficult to keep consistent. Our Glass Bottle Liquid Level Online Inspection System is designed for automatic, non-contact Bottle Fill Level Detection on glass bottle lines with a standard rated capacity of 1,000 bottles per minute, supporting filling volumes from 100 mL to 1,000 mL.
What the Glass Bottle Liquid Level Detector Is Designed to Do
The Glass Bottle Liquid Level Detector, model MT-RB-CYW-02, is used on glass bottle packaging production lines with a maximum speed not exceeding 1,000 bottles per minute. Its role is to inspect liquid level defects online and reject defective products automatically.
Core equipment details include:
| Specification | |
|---|---|
| Equipment name | Glass Bottle Liquid Level Detector |
| Model | MT-RB-CYW-02 |
| Quantity | One set |
| Applicable containers | Glass bottles |
| Production speed | 1,000 bottles/minute |
| Filling volume range | 100 mL to 1,000 mL |
| Installation point | Single-lane conveyor after the filler |
This Bottle Fill Level Detection setup is positioned where liquid level stratification is visible, allowing the workstation-mounted camera to capture bottle images and analyze the liquid level boundary.
How Bottle Fill Level Detection Works Online
The inspection process follows a structured sequence. A positioning sensor detects the bottle and obtains the encoder value for its position. The sensor then triggers the camera at Station 1 to capture the visible liquid level area. The image processor analyzes the captured image, displays the result on the human-machine interface, and sends the result to the control unit.
The control unit determines whether the detected liquid level meets the configured requirement. If a low liquid level defect is identified, the PLC sends a signal to the rejector, and the non-compliant bottle is removed from the line. This makes Bottle Fill Level Detection suitable for continuous online inspection without direct contact with the container.
Installation Conditions Buyers Should Confirm
A stable Bottle Fill Level Detection result depends not only on the detector but also on the line conditions around the inspection point. The detector should be installed on a single-lane conveyor after the filler, at the section where the liquid level is stratified and the boundary line is clear.
Key installation requirements include:
Technical Parameters and Detection Performance
For procurement and engineering teams, the main performance indicators are straightforward. The Glass Bottle Liquid Level Online Inspection System supports dynamic inspection and can automatically adapt to different production line speeds within its applicable configuration. It uses hardware circuit design and self-developed inspection software for optimized processing, with a maximum speed of up to 72,000 BPH in applicable setups.
| Category | Parameter |
|---|---|
| Noise level | ≤85 dB, depending on containers, machine power, and building acoustics |
| Main power | 3 × 380V AC ±10%, 50 Hz, 3 PH+N+PE |
| Lighting power | 220V AC, 50 Hz, single phase |
| Total power | Approximately 1.0 kW |
| Control voltage | 24 VDC |
| Altitude | 5–3,000 m above sea level |
| Ambient temperature | 5–40 °C |
| Relative humidity | 50–65% RH |
The low liquid level inspection module is specified as follows:
| Test item | Detection target | Accuracy | Rejection rate | False rejection rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liquid level test | Low liquid level detection | ±2 mm | ≥99.9% | ≤0.05% |
For glass bottle producers, these specifications make Bottle Fill Level Detection a practical inspection point after filling, especially where consistent liquid level control and automatic rejection are required.
Why This System Fits High-Speed Glass Bottle Lines
The system applies machine vision technology for fully automatic, non-contact online inspection of glass bottle liquid level defects. Its soft ray design uses no radioisotope source, and the equipment is described with safe and reliable ray protection. Combined with automatic speed adaptation and online rejection, Bottle Fill Level Detection helps packaging lines reduce reliance on manual checks while keeping the inspection process integrated with conveyor movement.
For buyers evaluating glass bottle inspection equipment, the most important step is to match the detector to the real line layout: bottle type, filling volume, conveyor spacing, straight-track length, and visibility of the liquid level boundary.
FAQs
What containers can this Bottle Fill Level Detection system inspect?
It is designed for glass bottles with filling volumes from 100 mL to 1,000 mL.
What is the maximum rated speed?
The standard configuration is rated at 1,000 bottles per minute.
Where should the detector be installed?
It should be installed on a single-lane conveyor after the filler, where liquid level stratification is visible.
