The system utilizes X-ray or gamma technology and mounts directly over the customer’s existing conveyor, requiring no product contact or conveyor transfers. It operates effectively without the need for container spacing and can support line speeds of up to 3,000 containers per minute, ensuring optimal performance and high reliability in demanding production environments.
FillTrac is designed with advanced IT security, 24/7 remote support capabilities, and is SCADA-ready with optional IoT integration. It can be configured for use in standard or high-sanitation environments.
Key Features
- Tool-less Installation: Industrial design allows for quick, overhead mounting on existing conveyor lines without any product contact.
- Precise Fill-Level Measurement: Accurately monitors both product fill levels and headspace.
- 24/7 Remote Support: Integrated wireless connectivity enables secure global remote diagnostics and support. Over 95% of issues are resolved remotely using Peco InspX’s advanced support software.
- Robust IT Security: End-to-end cybersecurity solutions protect plant networks from external threats. Optional IoT module enables seamless SCADA integration.
- No Container Spacing Required: System works efficiently with containers positioned directly next to one another.
- Non-Contact, Conveyor-Top Installation: Eliminates the need to transfer products into a dedicated machine, reducing the risk of jams at transfer points.
- High-Performance X-ray Generator: Designed for continuous operation with zero maintenance required.
