Combinable features for Antares Vision Group’s All-in-One series include:

• Regulatory compliance
• Container integrity
• Micro-leak (micro-hole)
• Contaminants detection
• Weight control
• Labelling/print verification

“All-in-One is a revolutionary approach to in-line quality control in Food,” said Matteo Bandini, food and packaging director, Antares Vision Group Food, in a press release. “Now, a single machine contains all the quality controls necessary to satisfy the safety and quality demands of all supply chain stakeholders, from production to distribution to the end-user. From now on, our customers will only have to think about which inspections they need to ensure quality and safety for the consumer—not how many machines they have to buy. Antares Vision Group’s All-in-One series does everything.”

Other advantages include reduced machine dimensions (similar footprint as most standard checkweighers), a single user interface overseeing all inspection parameters, differentiated waste and automatic recipe settings, and reduced energy consumption. The new portfolio is possible due in partthe expertise of Antares Vision Group subsidiary FT System, as well as Pen-Tec, which specializes in inspection controls and has been active in the food and beverage industry for over two decades.
