ZC-PRISM - Closure Inspection & Rejection Module

Zalkin Patent Pending Logo

The Zalkin ZC-PRISM offers multiple detection capabilities to help increase line efficiencies.

The new Zalkin Pre-Inspection & Sorting Module has been developed for high speed detection and control of defective caps.

The module can be integrated on new lines or retrofitted to existing lines.

The ZC-Prism is ideal for multiple industries and applications using flat caps.

ZC-PRISM Closure Inspection & Rejection Module

  • Designed for flat plastic caps
  • Up to 2,000 cpm (120,000 cph)
  • Integrated in Zalkin closure delivery system (between cap orienter & capper or cap orienter & buffer)
  • Capable of inspection of multiple defects and rejection of defective closures
  • Full control with on board PLC and HMI
  • Increased line efficiencies
  • Reduced product and packaging waste
  • Robust and easy-to-maintain design

Integrated in Zalkin closure delivery system between cap orienter & capper or cap orienter & buffer

Inspection:

  • Single camera station (oriented in vertical and perpendicular or transversal)
  • Cap defect detection includes:
    • mis-shaped caps
    • deformed caps
    • cap color variation
    • upside down caps
    • missing tamper band
    • deformed plug seal
    • contaminants

Additional Products

TCT - Torque Calibration Tool

The Torque Calibration Tool helps our customers easily measure the application torque of their screw-on capping heads and the removal torque of applied closures.

RCT - Roller Calibration Tool

The Roller Calibration Tool helps our customers to calibrate the rollers of their sealing heads.

Z-INSPECT - Bottle and Cap Camera Inspection

Z-Inspect helps the pharmaceutical, healthcare and personal care industries to control and monitor their capping quality, after capping or during intermediary steps.

Assurance of Capping Integrity

The ACI (Assurance of Capping Integrity) system for the single head FTM-300 and FTM-300 TANDEM was created to provide an accurate inspection of large format containers. The ACI system provides 100% inspection for every cap applied to ensure proper quality.
