Analyzing High Speed Sealing Of Pâté Cans
We automated sealing inspection for Orkla Foods’ pâté canning line using a compact all-in-one vision system. Processing over 400 units per minute, it guarantees flawless packaging integrity, full food safety compliance, and a strong production ROI.
The Challenge
Orkla Foods operates a high-speed food manufacturing line processing over 400 pâté cans every minute. Verifying the precise sealing integrity of each metallic rim at such velocities is virtually impossible for human inspectors.
Undetected micro-leaks or mechanical deformities can compromise food safety, trigger costly product recalls, and severely damage consumer brand trust – resulting in thousands of euros lost daily through material waste and unplanned production downtime.
The Solution
We deployed a compact, all-in-one smart vision system featuring a built-in processor, integrated I/O, and native industrial communication protocols. This self-contained unit captures microscopic structural defects on metal rims in real-time, eliminating the need for bulky external computing hardware.
Scanning thousands of cans every hour, the intelligent optical sensor automatically verifies hermetic seal integrity on every single unit before it advances to final packaging and shipment.
