3 steps

How it works

Step 1

Product infeed

After adjusting to the right requirements, the first products enter the Quality Checker. Because of the multiple channels it is possible to check two products at once, for example baguettes and Kaiser rolls.

Step 2

Check requirements

Colour cameras check the set of quality requirements. The camera system is able to check dimensions (length, width, height and roundness - accuracy 2 mm), browning (over and under baked products) and black spots.

Step 3

Reject products

The Quality Checker rejects disapproved products. The reject system contains tracks which are equipped with a retractable conveyor. When a product is disapproved, the conveyor will retract and a gap occurs. Due to the two tracks, the unjust reject of approved products is minimalized.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Quality Checker inspect products?
Each product passes underneath two 3D sensors that create a detailed profile of the product. The software measures dimensions, shape characteristics and product-specific quality parameters in real time. Products that fall outside the configured limits are automatically removed from the production flow before reaching the packaging machine.
Can the Quality Checker detect bent or curved baguettes?

Yes. For stick-shaped products such as baguettes and breadsticks, the Quality Checker offers a linearity check. This function measures overall straightness and local deviations along the product. Products that exceed the configured curvature limits can be automatically rejected.

Can the Quality Checker detect products that are baked together?
Yes. The system can identify products that are physically connected or positioned too closely together. The baked together check analyses connected surface areas and contact lengths to determine whether products should be rejected before packaging.
What product dimensions can be inspected?

The Quality Checker can inspect products ranging from 30 mm to 600 mm in length and up to 160 mm in height. Product width depends on the selected conveyor lane width but starts from 30 mm.

Which bakery products can be inspected?
The system is suitable for frozen dough products, frozen pre-baked products and non-frozen pre-baked bakery products. Typical applications include baguettes, bread rolls, breadsticks, croissants, bagels and similar bakery items.
What spacing is required between products?
A minimum gap of 30 mm must be maintained between products. This spacing allows the cameras to accurately identify and measure each product individually.
What conveyor requirements are needed before the Quality Checker?
A minimum of one metre of straight conveyor is required before the inspection zone. This ensures that products remain stable while passing underneath the cameras. Curved, inclined or declined conveyors should not be positioned directly before the machine.
Can a metal detector be installed before the Quality Checker?

Yes. A metal detector can be installed directly before the Quality Checker. The flat conveyor surface helps stabilise products before inspection and does not interfere with measurement accuracy.

How many product lanes can the Quality Checker inspect?
Depending on the conveyor configuration, the system supports up to 6 or 8 lanes on fibre belt versions and 2 lanes on modular belt versions. This allows high-capacity inspection of bakery products in multi-lane production lines.
What conveyor requirements are needed before the Quality Checker?

A minimum of one metre of straight conveyor is required before the inspection zone. This ensures that products remain stable while passing underneath the cameras. Curved, inclined or declined conveyors should not be positioned directly before the machine.

Can a metal detector be installed before the Quality Checker?

Yes. A metal detector can be installed directly before the Quality Checker. The flat conveyor surface helps stabilise products before inspection and does not interfere with measurement accuracy.

Can the Quality Checker be configured for different bakery products?

Yes. The Quality Checker is fully configurable for different bakery product types. Inspection parameters such as dimensions, straightness, hole detection and reject limits can be adjusted to match the quality requirements of each specific bakery product.
