What Makes It Stand Out
Ultra-High Speed Inspection
Processes up to 60,000 bottles per hour with stable performance, seamlessly integrating into high-speed filling lines without bottlenecks.
720° Full Coverage
Advanced bottle rotation mechanism with dual-drive motors rotates each bottle 90° between inspection stations, achieving complete 720° sidewall coverage for thorough defect detection.
Smart Rejection System
3-stage rejection mechanism: pre-screening removes deformed bottles, dedicated rejector for non-recyclable defects, and gentle removal for recyclable bottles returned to washing line.
Polarized Optical Technology
Customized polarized light sources and lenses eliminate interference from reflections and complex bottle patterns, significantly improving detection accuracy for transparent and semi-transparent contaminants.
Robust & Easy Maintenance
Double-layer protective glass on all camera modules allows quick disassembly for cleaning. Automatic bottle jam detection with alarms minimizes downtime.
Automated Test Bottle Program
Timed self-check mechanism automatically prompts operators to insert test bottles. Generates visual comparison reports with deviation analysis to ensure consistent inspection accuracy.

How the System Works
EBIScan Pro 6000 is a comprehensive empty bottle inspection system that integrates mouth, sidewall, and bottom inspection into a single, compact unit. Designed for high-speed glass bottle production lines, it ensures that only bottles meeting quality standards proceed to the filling process.
Pre-Screening Module – Selecta S
Before entering the main inspection unit, bottles pass through a sensor-based pre-screening module. Three photoelectric sensors detect abnormal bottle shapes and heights, removing high bottles, low bottles, and tipped bottles to protect downstream inspection equipment from damage.
Mouth Inspection
A high-speed color industrial camera, combined with a dedicated multi-channel LED strobe light and independent trigger sensor, captures precise images of the bottle mouth. The system analyzes the inner rim, outer rim, and sealing surface to detect cracks, chips, and other defects. Bottles rejected at this stage are considered non-recyclable and directed to waste bins.
Sidewall Inspection
The sidewall inspection system employs 8 high-resolution cameras strategically positioned in four inspection modules. Bottles are rotated 90° between the infeed and outfeed modules, enabling 720° full circumferential coverage. Polarized light sources eliminate reflections and enhance contrast for detecting transparent and semi-transparent contaminants, even on bottles with embossed patterns or textured surfaces.
Bottom Inspection
Special optical lenses with backlight illumination maximize the inspection area, while a polarizing filter enhances detection of transparent contaminants such as plastic film. An automatic brush and air blowing mechanism remove residual moisture before imaging, ensuring clear image capture.
Residual Liquid Detection
Using high-frequency electromagnetic field technology, the system detects residual liquid, including both water and caustic soda solution, with sensitivity as low as 1ml. This ensures bottles are thoroughly cleaned before filling, preventing contamination of the final product.
Rejection System
The EBIScan Pro 6000 features a three-stage rejection system:
-
First rejector: Located after the pre-screening module, removes deformed or misaligned bottles to waste.
-
Second rejector: Dedicated to non-recyclable defects (mouth/chip defects), rejects to waste bin.
-
Third rejector: Servo-controlled, removes bottles with sidewall, bottom, or residual liquid defects to a collection platform for return to the washing line.
