Technology
Introducing the ultimate in-line PET bottle quality control
Sidel has unveiled IntelliADJUST™, a revolutionary quality control technology for PET bottles that ensures consistent quality and high efficiency. This smart bottle blowing control system enhances production capabilities, allowing superior bottle quality while supporting the use of recycled PET (rPET).
The easy-to-use blowing solution maximises the number of marketable bottles by ensuring that quality control is consistently high. IntelliADJUST™ offsets any production line variations by using algorithms to identify measured thickness deviations and automatically correcting the heating and blowing parameters to ensure consistent quality without any interruptions.
The solution uses advanced interferometric sensor technology to guarantee optimal material distribution and uniformity. With autonomous in-line control and real-time adjustments, it effortlessly reduces the impact of production changes on bottle quality.
Qual-IS™ – the intelligent aseptic quality supervisor
Sidel has launched Qual-IS™, an advanced digital quality control and food safety solution that boosts traceability and data analytics in aseptic production. This innovative system combines laboratory testing, traceability and sampling into a single platform. With Qual-IS™, customers can ensure food safety and product quality, enhancing consumer satisfaction and protecting brand reputation while driving profitability.
Each bottle is assigned a unique code that tracks its entire manufacturing journey, including details about the preform, cap, recipe and production parameters. By integrating quality control across the aseptic production line, Qual-IS™ sets a new standard in quality management.
“Qual-IS™ is our latest digital solution – a smart, dynamic quality control system, specifically designed to sustain a high level of quality control at all times thanks to its advanced traceability and data analytics,” explained Enrico Savani, Product Manager for Sensitive Product Filling at Sidel.
