Beverage: End of Line Packaging
The end of the line is the final phase of product packaging. Conveyors, palletizers, forklifts and personnel converge in this area and activity is near constant. The flow of cases into this area and the flow of assembled pallets leaving the area must be closely regulated to prevent line slowdowns and stoppages. Safety measures must also be in place to protect personnel from accident or injury.
Our industry knowledge and expertise in sensors, safety control, LED lighting and indicators allow us to offer solutions that solve many of the most difficult applications in the final packaging area. From sensors capable of detecting targets with vibrant graphics, clear, shiny packaging to offering the most comprehensive collection of safety products in the industry, including heavy-duty safety light curtains and expandable safety controllers, you can rely on products from Banner to improve your packaging processes and address all your machine safeguarding requirements.

Featured Applications
Barcode Confirmation on Pallet
In the beverage filling industry, barcode technology can provide many benefits when shipping products among multiple locations. Shipping containers such as shrink wrapped pallets can be labeled with barcodes in order to more easily identify which product is present and ready to be shipped. A sensing solution needs to be present to confirm that the final, shrink-wrapped product is labeled correctly and matches the content inside.
Safeguarding the Palletizer and Stretch Wrapper
Safeguarding areas around the palletizers and stretch wrappers can prove to be difficult because it involves multiple hazards. A scalable safety controller can help manage hazards related to the palletizer and stretch wrapper while ensuring efficient safeguarding processes.
Enunciation of Safety Conditions with Visual Indication
In order to maintain an efficient manufacturing line in the beverage industry, immediate notification of any safety issues is fundamental. Using visual and audible indication to identify safety concerns helps workers quickly find and fix the errors – returning the system to its normal operating state in a timely fashion.

Vent Tube Presence on Filler
The rotary fillers dispense beer into bottles traveling at speeds of up to 900 bottles per minute. The company needed a solution capable of detecting spreader washers on the vent tubes as well as loose or missing tubes. However, the movement of the rotary filler and the wet washdown environment made close proximity deployments difficult and the range required for a remote solution could compromise inspection reliability.
