Used HEUFT empty bottle inspector 72000 BPHTechnical Specifications &
Performance DataThis Empty Bottle Inspector (EBI) is engineered for
high-speed beverage production and industrial packaging environments.
Manufactured by HEUFT, the system combines a HEUFT InLine reflexx
Release 9 inspector with a HEUFT Spectrum SX TB 72 pre-selection unit,
networked for complete bottle flow control. Designed for integration
in a used bottling line, it offers robust inspection performance for
returnable glass bottles at line speeds up to 72,000 bottles per
hour.Manufacturer: HEUFTPrimary model: InLine reflexx Release

Automation & Control SystemsThe inspector leverages HEUFT reflexx
image processing with comprehensive optical inspection and residual
liquid detection. The Spectrum SX TB 72 pre-selector verifies bottle
geometry upstream, ensuring only conforming containers enter the main
EBI. The Gateway II interface enables network connectivity for line
data exchange and coordinated rejection logic.Full sidewall inspection

with synchronized pre-selectionProduction Line Integration
CapabilitiesDesigned for seamless integration into high-speed beverage
production, the system supports inline operation with existing
conveyors and accumulation. Its pre-selection and main inspection
units communicate over the network to optimize rejection precision and
minimize false rejects, making it an excellent fit for second hand
bottling equipment upgrades or complete used bottling line
retrofits.Inline or stand-alone deployment with included conveyor
interfacesNetworked pre-selection and main inspection for coordinated
controlCompatible with standard glass beer formats (0.33L, 0.5L)Ideal
for industrial packaging modernization and high-speed beverage
productionMachine Condition & Maintenance HistoryThe equipment is
reported as functioning and well maintained, with immediate
availability. Built in 2009, it presents a solid option for facilities
seeking reliable inspection capability in a second hand configuration
without compromising performance.Operational status: Functioning, well
maintainedAvailability: ImmediateOperational Performance &
VersatilityThis EBI is optimized for glass bottle applications in beer
production, including diverse German standard formats and closure
styles. Its combination of optical inspection, IR/HF residual fluid
sensing, and targeted neck/thread checks ensures comprehensive quality
assurance prior to rinsing and filling.Application focus: Returnable
glass beer bottlesSidewall, bottom, neck, mouth, and thread
inspectionResidual liquid detection enhances hygiene and line
qualityIntegrated test-bottle routines confirm stable rejection
performanceInstallation Requirements & Site PreparationThe system
requires standard industrial utilities common to bottling equipment.
Electrical flexibility allows operation on 400/415 V three-phase
networks, with auxiliary 230/240 V circuits, and broad 50/60 Hz
compatibility. Pneumatic connections must supply clean, dry air within
the specified pressure range.Electrical: 3-phase 400/415 V; auxiliary

CertificationEngineered for modern industrial environments, the system
includes integrated inspection alarms and rejection monitoring to
support line quality and operator awareness. Guarding and interlocked
access typical of beverage packaging machinery contribute to safe
operation and hygiene-focused processes suitable for food and beverage
applications.
