Multicon 4

Camera-Based Bottle Sorting System

The miho Multicon 4 is a camera-based system for the detection and sorting of glass or PET bottles, or other containers, according to shape, colour and size differences. It can also detect lying bottles or bottle breakages and reject them from the line.

In addition to direct characteristics, bottles can be sorted based on secondary features such as permanent labels (ACL), embossing, or remaining adhesive residues. Sample bottles must be tested to configure detection for these secondary features.

Key Features

• Embossing detection.
• Shape and colour distinction.
• UV coat detection.
• Sorting into up to 8 channels.
• Detection of lying bottles or bottle breakages, with automatic rejection.
• Stainless steel construction — easily accessible and easy to maintain.
• Closed optical system with tool-free protective covers for easy cleaning of protective glass plates.

Applications

Ideal for beverage bottling and return logistics lines needing reliable sorting of returnable glass or PET bottles by shape, colour, size or secondary features before washing or refilling.
