Presence Check of Reusable Containers on Roller Conveyors with Retro-Reflex Sensors

In breweries, reusable containers (KEG) must be transported between different work steps such as washing, filling or palletizing on roller conveyors. To prevent jamming and allow the continuous flow of material, the containers must be recorded and counted at several locations. Retro-reflex sensors installed on the side of the roller conveyors reliably detect beverage containers despite reflective, matt, light or black surfaces.
