| Supply scope | Printers, coders, cap feeders, nitrogen dosers, detectors |
| Function | Support the filler without changing its rating |
| Key control | Position, timing, consumable cost |
| Integration | Signals from the filler PLC or a standalone sensor |
| Key decision | Whether the device earns its cost per 1,000 units |
| Typical position | After the filler, before the packer |
Support equipment does not raise the filler rating. It removes a manual task, a reject source or a compliance risk. The test is simple: if the device stops, does the line stop, and does the defect rate rise? If neither, it is a convenience rather than a control.
Position follows the signal. A coder needs the bottle presented at a fixed gap; a cap feeder needs a buffer before the capper; a detector needs a clear view and a reject gate downstream. Moving any of them changes the timing and the reject logic.
| Device | What it controls | Consumable |
|---|---|---|
| Coder or printer | Date and batch code | Ink, solvent or laser power |
| Cap feeder | Cap supply to the capper | None, but a buffer is needed |
| Nitrogen doser | Headspace oxygen | Nitrogen per 1,000 units |
| Fill level detector | Reject decision | None, but a reject gate is needed |
Site requirements, air and power consumption sit with the Accessory.
Either through a discrete signal from the filler PLC, which is simple and reliable, or through the line network, which allows recipes and reporting. Discrete signals are easier to commission; network integration is easier to audit. Choose based on who will maintain it.
Site requirements, air and power consumption sit with the Conveying.
Run the device at the line rating, not at a demonstration speed, and count rejects with the device on and off. Acceptance at half speed hides the timing problem that appears in the first production week.
The same question is worked through from another angle in Quality Control in Water Bottling: Inline Sensors and Checkweighers.
No. It does not change the filler rating. It reduces headspace oxygen, which protects shelf life. Its value is measured in shelf life and rejects, not in BPH.
A laser marks the surface and needs no consumable ink, but it needs a clear line of sight and a consistent bottle position. An inkjet prints on most surfaces and carries ink and solvent cost.
Caps arrive out of orientation, the elevator runs faster than the chute can release, or the chute angle is wrong for the cap. Most jams are a chute and speed setting, not a cap defect.
Yes. Detection without a reject gate only records the defect. The gate needs a shift register so it rejects the bottle that was measured, not the one behind it.
