Used Inspector KRONES Linatronic K735 year 2011

The Used Inspector KRONES Linatronic K735 year 2011 offers a proven and efficient solution for quality control in high-performance bottling lines. The German manufacturer KRONES, a global leader in beverage industry automation, built this model with reliability, precision, and modular construction in mind. As a result, this inspector fits seamlessly into industrial environments that demand high accuracy and operational consistency.

Electrical characteristics and technical configuration of the Used Inspector KRONES

The Used Inspector KRONES Linatronic K735 year 2011 runs on a three-phase power supply at 400/230 volts, with a 50 Hz frequency and a 13-ampere current draw. Consequently, it aligns with European industrial standards and supports stable operation under demanding conditions. Furthermore, the electrical system includes integrated safety devices that protect the components from overload or malfunction. In addition, the compact and durable enclosure facilitates easy integration into existing production layouts.

Year of production and machine hours

KRONES produced this unit in 2011. Since then, the machine has logged 10,500 operating hours, which reflects moderate usage for equipment designed for industrial use. Compared to other models with similar functionality, this unit maintains good performance standards. Moreover, the machine structure shows minimal wear, confirming its careful maintenance. Therefore, technicians can expect reliable functionality without immediate need for major refurbishment. The machine is currently operational, specifically until Easter. Then it will be dismantled. 

Supported inspection types

The Used Inspector KRONES Linatronic K735 year 2011 is equipped with a comprehensive range of inspection functions to ensure the quality and integrity of each bottle.

-The system performs bottom inspection to detect chips, cracks, or foreign objects at the base.

-The sidewall (walls) inspection uses a rotating mirror and cameras to identify defects such as scratches, cracks, or dirt on the entire lateral surface.

-The neck finish and thread inspection ensures that bottle openings are free from damage or deformation that could compromise sealing or capping.

-Scuffing inspection checks for surface abrasions that indicate excessive wear.

In addition, the machine employs infrared (IR) and high-frequency (HF) technology to detect residual liquid, ensuring the bottles are dry and ready for filling.

Furthermore, the system features foreign bottle detection via contour analysis, identifying bottles with shapes or profiles that do not match the programmed standards. These capabilities collectively allow the machine to uphold strict quality control protocols and minimize the risk of defective containers entering the filling line.

The machine has a Siemens S7 software.

Moreover, the inspector has only been used for glass bottles. It can be used also for PET bottles, only if these are stable enough and returnable.

The machine has performed inspections on empty glass bottles for quality control purposes by processing the following sizes:

• 20 cl (0.20 L)

• 27 cl (0.27 L)
