Automatic quality control station for candle holders

Ready-to-use solutions mean a shorter implementation and deployment process

The solution developed by MV Center is designed to control the height of the pour and the length and wick seating of the candle refills. The solution can be implemented in an existing production line or supplied as a stand-alone version with its own built-in transporter.

The ejection system eliminates defective products before they reach the packaging process thus reducing unnecessary downtime and eliminating complaints. The solution is equipped with a product separator and, thanks to its intuitive changeover system, can be used for multiple references.

Thanks to the serial error function, it is possible to stop production when a user-defined limit is exceeded.
