With only 6.5 square meters of floor space occupied, PVS-5 has been designed to be easily installed in line to any new or existing injection molding machine of any manufacturer, in order to achieve a precise and immediate control of production. It includes an innovative and patented feeder, developed with particular attention to the gentle treatment of preforms in order to avoid scratches, dents or any other type of damage. PVS-5 is able to inspect the entire preform including the top seal, body, end-cap and finish at a speed of up to 60,000 preforms/hour, detecting both chromatic defects and defects visible with polarized light. It can also read the cavity number mould in the finish area by producing production statistics or sorting by cavity number.
