Smart and reliable inspection of empty containers
The latest generation of thoroughness
Whether it be material damage, contamination or the most minuscule particles of residual caustic: nothing can hide from the Linatronic. With its highly sensitive inspection modules it sees through each individual container – and only lets fault-free items pass through. Proof of its high precision sorting ability is not least apparent in its minimum false rejection rate of just 0.3 percent. How is this possible? Through the standard use of DART 4.0, the latest generation of Krones inspection software.

Benefits to you
Long-life conveyor belts
Particular care was taken when selecting the surface of the conveyor belts. It is more resilient to glass and prevents the absorption of lubricants and liquids.
Quick type change-over
The automatic adjustment of conveyors and the camera position ensure that the Linatronic is adjusted to new container types within just a few minutes.
Immediate round-the-clock assistance
With the GRS remote service platform your machine is directly linked with the Krones service department: If you require assistance, an inspection expert from Krones simply accesses the Linatronic online and immediately performs the task in hand – without having to travel to your company, at any time of the day or night.
Economic operation
Inspection modules capable of multitasking, energy-saving components and a false rejection rate of just 0.3 percent prove that it is also possible to create maximum production reliability with a low total cost of ownership.
Safety for you and your products
The Linatronic protects your consumers against unpleasant surprises. For its inspection modules scrutinise every container and detect event the smallest defects or irregularities.
Hygienic construction
Smooth surfaces and a reduced number of machine supports ensure that a low amount of dirt clings to them and the machine is easy to clean.
This is why the Linatronic is enviro-classified
Energy efficiency
- Complete drive systems with energy-efficient PM drives
- All rejection units are operated electrically without additional compressed-air consumption
Media efficiency
- Detection unit for compressed-air leaks
- No cooling air required thanks to the optimised control of lighting units and the use of the most up-to-date LEDs
- Minimised consumption of cleaning agents thanks to the hygienic design
