General Description
General arrangement
HEUFT basic is a modular system for monitoring the product quality in bottling lines. The application of
several detection modules and a rejector allows to eliminate faulty containers from the flow of production.
In addition, non-performing valve positions in the filler can be identified.
In order to fulfil these tasks, the system requires the function modules described on the following pages.
Through the integration in the production process, the basic standard device permits the automatic monitoring
of filling installations.
Standard device
The standard device consists of a stainless steel mount with a maximum of three integrated vertical and
horizontal adjustment devices and the control unit. Depending on the device equipment, detection modules
are mounted to the mechanical adjustment devices.
Conveyor support
For stability reasons, a conveyor support is recommended at the location of the standard device to ensure the
detection accuracy. (This part is not included in the scope of delivery!)
Only the additional pedestal for the standard device is included in the scope of delivery.
Rejector
The rejector removes faulty containers from the flow of production.
The rejector is also used to reject sample bottles for quality control purposes.
Five different rejector types are available, the diagram shows the DELTA-FW.
Rejection wedge
The rejection wedge is part of the guide rails and keeps containers on separate lanes after their rejection.
Encoder
The encoder generates pulses which correspond to a particular distance of conveyor movement.
This enables to locate the position of any container that has passed the main trigger.
Locator The valve locator identifies and registers non-performing valves and the
number of incorrect fillings caused by such a valve.
Bottle Burst Detection of burst bottles within the filler and later rejection of
neighbouring bottles and bottles from succeeding filler rounds filled at
the same valve in order to avoid the delivery of containers bearing the
risk of containing glass fragments.

Maintenance
General
The design of the basic device keeps maintenance at a minimum level. There are almost no moving parts and
these parts move only when required for operation. The result is very little wear and tear of mechanical
components. The remaining maintenance is limited to cleaning or inspection.
Maintenance is only permitted when production is not in progress and the main
power switch is off.
Cleaning
Cleaning of basic components should be carried out at the usual maintenance intervals defined for the entire
bottling line. We recommend cleaning at weekly intervals. The degree of contamination may require other
intervals.
In general, cleaning is carried out with a damp cloth or a soft brush. All basic components are protected
against splash water but not resistant to water jets.
Never clean the device with a jet of water or other liquids. Penetrating moisture
causes damage to the electronic system.
If moisture has penetrated into the device, switch it off or leave it switched-off
until it is completely dry again.
For protection of the sonic sensor, in case of maintenance works at the device
the opening for the microphone at the measuring bridge must be closed with a
protective cap. It is of vital importance that no water enters the lower opening of
the sensor!
Inspections
Inspections are measures of planned preventive maintenance. They are necessary to detect deficiencies or
defects in due time. We recommend monthly intervals. Other intervals may be necessary depending on the
work load of an installation.
When repair and overhaul cannot be carried out by the available means, the HEUFT service is available to
restore the device function on location as soon as possible The telephone and telefax numbers are listed on
page 3.
Weekly maintenance
The following maintenance works must be carried out every week or when required:
Standard device
» Clean the front panel and the protection cover.
» Remove foreign objects.
Rejector
⇒ Rejectors, page 67
» Drain condensed water from the filter regulator and the air reservoir.
» Check the fixed attachment of the main air connection.

Trouble Shooting
General
In the first case the operator must read the number of the function group, the message number and the
reference number in the device status/messages menu (⇒ Device status/Messages, page 50). He must then
refer to the list of messages in the Appendix (⇒ Appendix A 1, Messages) for information regarding the cause
of the malfunction and the required corrective action.
When a fault is not displayed by a message, the cause of the malfunction must be found step by step. For this
purpose, the present chapter contains a list of typical symptoms and flow diagrams for trouble shooting. The
white boxes contain the questions to locate a fault, the grey-shaded boxes contain the instructions to be
followed.
Call a specialist
When the operator is not able to correct the fault, the flow diagrams or tables contain the instruction "Call a
specialist". This means to notify personnel that has received the corresponding technical training and is
equipped with the basic Reference Handbook. These are normally electricians or mechanics of the technical
department. In addition, the HEUFT training department offers training courses at regular intervals which also
deal with trouble shooting.

Rejectors
DELTA-FW (optional)
General description
The rejector DELTA-FW guides containers in upright position from the production conveyor to another
conveyor or to a collection table.
Under normal operating conditions at a distance of 1 m and a height of 1.6 m above the floor, the rejector
noise level is less than 85 dB(A)(LAIM).
Protection device
The protection device is installed opposite to the rejector segments.
Function
At the individual detection positions the system collects data for every passing container. On the basis of
these data the control unit decides whether the corresponding container is to be rejected.
The rejector only operates mechanically when upstream detection modules signal a faulty container and the
rejector receives a rejection signal from the control unit.
The rejector head forms a rejection curve immediately above the conveyor along which the containers are
guided. This curve is divided into individual sections. It is the result of the different length of every single
segment. The segments are extended or retracted by pistons in pneumatically controlled high speed
cylinders.
Rejection principle
The variable extension of the segments forms an apparently moving rejection curve along which the container
to be rejected is smoothly guided.

DELTA-K (optional)
General description
The rejector DELTA-K guides containers or cans in upright position from the production conveyor to another
conveyor or to a collection table.
Under normal operating conditions at a distance of 1 m and a height of 1.6 m above the floor, the rejector
noise level is less than 85 dB(A)(LAIM).
Function
At the individual detection positions the system collects data for every passing container. On the basis of
these data the control unit decides whether the corresponding container is to be rejected.
The rejector only operates mechanically when upstream detection modules signal a faulty container and the
rejector receives a rejection signal from the control unit.
The rejector head forms a rejection curve immediately above the conveyor along which the containers are
guided. This curve is the result of the different length of every single segment. The segments are moved by
pneumatically operated high speed cylinders when the rejector receives a control signal.
An optional bottom photocell detects containers or other objects lying on the conveyor. A signal from this
photocell activates the rejector DELTA-K which eliminates these objects from the conveyor.
Rejection principle
The variable extension of the segments forms an apparently moving surface along which the container to be
rejected is smoothly rejected in upright position.

General description
The inductive closure detection checks the presence of metal closures on containers.
Function
Depending on the signal status, the control unit evaluates the signal generated by an inductive proximity
switch either as "good" or as "missing closure".
The check conditions are different for closures of bottles or cans. Due to this fact, two function modules of
different mechanical design are available:
For bottles, the proximity switch of the closure detection is installed in the centre of the trigger bridge above
the trigger lenses.
The other variant is especially designed for closure detection in fast moving can filling installations. The
sensor is mounted to a movable shaft on the measuring bridge so that the can passes the closure sensor after
it has passed the measuring bridge.

Pressure (optional)
Sensor
Movable shaft
General description
This closure detection module is designed for checking the concave or convex deformation of closures, which
permits conclusions regarding the pressure within a container. The module can be used to check vacuum or
overpressure.
Function
An analog proximity sensor effects a relative distance measuring. The result is independent of container
height tolerances and enables to determine the deformation of a closure and to compare it with reference
values. The control unit evaluates exceeding or not reaching the limits as a fault, counts the fault accordingly
and generates a rejection signal.
The module can also detect containers without closures or with closures inclined in moving direction, and
initiate the rejection of such containers.

A positive result of a measured value signifies a "good container". In case of a negative result, the system
counts and rejects the container as faulty. The higher the displayed value the larger is the deviation above or
below the limit value.
The deviation from the limit value can be entered with values ranging between - 99 and + 99.
5 canted closure

The system only maintains the change of the limit value until the next program
change or device switch-off. After that the change of the limit value is reset to
zero.
A permanent change of the limit value can only be carried out by a specialist
using the basic Reference Handbook.
The values for change can be entered by using the specified keys. The entry of
positive values increases the limit value, negative values decrease the limit
value.
Input: - 15
During the change the value is flashing in the display. The system automatically
accepts the value two seconds after the input and the display returns to a steady
indication.

Foil (optional)
General description
The closure detection checks the presence of foils with diffuse reflection characteristics on containers.
Function
The closure detection - foil has the same function principle as a label detection at the conveyor.
The detection is effected by reflecting sensors installed inclined toward the container axis. The evaluation is
based on the different reflection characteristics of foil and container surface.
Even glass reflects according to the principle angle of incidence = angle of reflection. Foils reflect diffusely in
all directions so that sufficient light is reflected from the foils back to the sensors.

General description
The closure detection HEUFT sonic checks containers for incorrectly placed crown corks or twist-off closures
(so-called "bullnoses"). Leaking containers are also detected if the container is normally under pressure at the
detection position, e.g. after the pasteuriser.
Function
The module excites the oscillation of a closure by hitting it with an electromagnetic pulse and analyses the
acoustic response signal from the closure. The pitch of the excited closure is dependent on its bulging or its
tension as a function of container inside pressure.
The evaluation software obtains the characteristic values from the signal and compares the result with the
programmable limit values. This permits the detection of faulty containers which will be rejected from the
stream of good containers.
Operating
Brand change
Set the vertical and horizontal adjustment devices of the measuring bridge with the crank according to the

General description
Fill level detection for non-metal containers filled with products filled with water-based products, preferably
soft drinks and beer.
The measuring bridge detects underfilled and overfilled containers.
Function
Every passing container changes the electric field of the measuring bridge in a definite form. Positive or
negative fill level deviations are detected as an influence on the electric field. The amount of the influence is a
direct measure for the real fill level. After a comparison between the currently measured values and the
programmed fill level limit values, the basic control unit decides whether a container is underfilled or overfilled.
The "good fill level" and the container shape are the determining factors for the application of a particular
variant.
Operating
The fill level detection requires a short stabilisation phase. In order to achieve the
optimum measurement accuracy, the device must be switched on at least 5
minutes before production starts.
Use the stand-by mode for short production breaks.
(⇒ Switching to the stand-by mode, page 43)
Brand change
Set the vertical and horizontal adjustment of the measuring bridge by means of the crank corresponding to the

Gamma (optional)
General description
The Gamma fill level detection checks the fill level in containers in order to detect underfills or overfills.
Function
The measuring bridge consists of an emitter and a receiver. The emitter is a radioactive radiation source
emitting gamma rays. The receiver mounted at the opposite side of the measuring bridge receives the
radiation.
When a container enters the area of the radiation beam it absorbs part of the emitted gamma radiation.
Containers with a correct fill level or underfilled containers have a different absorption. The basic control unit
converts the difference between the received pulse rate and the pulse rate of a correctly filled container into a
good - bad decision.
Radioactivity!
DO NOT put your hands in the radiation area unless the green light is on
(shutter closed). The orange light is then off.
ONLY persons trained and licensed by HEUFT Company for repair of radioactive
devices are authorised to open the measuring bridge.
For operator safety the emitter is equipped with a shutter. The shutter is always closed when the device is
switched-off. During operation, it can at any time be closed by manual switches so that there is no danger for
operators during maintenance or changeovers. The shutter can also be closed automatically when there are
larger gaps in the stream of production containers. The shutter status is displayed by a two-colour light which
can be seen from a distance.

The operation of a device with a radioactive source requires in most countries a special permission by the
appropriate governmental authorities. In some countries an additional radiological safety officer is prescribed
for the operating factory.

X-Ray (optional)
Receiver Emitter
General description
The fill level detection with X-radiation measures the fill level in all kinds of containers (e.g. cans, bottles,
metallised glass containers or plastic containers). The containers can be filled with liquids that consist mainly
of water, but also with substances containing little or no water (e.g. oil, instant soups, powder), or substances
that are filled into liquids, such as canned vegetables.
X-radiation!
DO NOT put your hands in the radiation area unless the green light is on (shutter
closed). The orange warning light is then off.
NEVER place your hands in the radiation area when the detection module is
activated (orange warning light is on). The shutter is open in this case and the
emitter is continuously emitting radiation.
ONLY persons trained and licensed by HEUFT Company for the repair of X-ray
devices are authorised to open the measuring bridge on the emitter side.
Improper use of the module especially the modification of the high voltage or the
removal of protection devices may result in an increased intensity of X-radiation.
A device modified in such a way does no longer meet the approval requirements.
It is prohibited to operate such a device.
This ensures that the operator has always access to one of them when it is required to deactivate the tube.
The X-ray tube can only be started when both switches are in the "1" position.
For safety reasons switch-off has priority over switch-on. If one of the switches is in position "0", the shutter
remains closed and the detection is inoperative.
Function
The measuring bridge consists of an emitter and a receiver. The emitter is an X-ray generator emitting X-rays
which are entered into the receiver. The receiver mounted at the opposite side of the measuring bridge
receives the radiation.
The emitter is a radiation source which emits a cone-shaped radiation area when the detection is in the
switched-on condition. A container passing this radiation area absorbs radiation. The absorption varies
according to fill level. The receiver installed at the opposite side of the measuring bridge measures the
absorption rate and the standard device compares it with the entered threshold values. The system detects
faulty containers by considerably deviating measuring results and controls their rejection.
Shutter

Receiver
Collimator
Safety concept
Screening of the X-ray tube
The X-ray tube is installed in a massive metal casing which reduces the transmission through the casing to
values below 10 µSv/h (measured at a distance of 10 cm from the device limit). The complete tube structure is
integrated into a measuring bridge casing made of V2A steel which reduces the transmission through the
casing even more. Radiation can only exit the casing in one direction and is limited to a narrow angular area
by a collimator.
Additional protection is provided by an electromagnetically operated shutter which can close the exit where
the radiation emits from the tube casing. This shutter is normally closed. When required, it can be held open
by means of a coil which is controlled by 24 V. A failure of the power supply causes the automatic closure of
the tube exit because the shutter is no longer electrically held and gravity reinforced by a spring will
immediately close the radiation source.
The control software opens the shutter only when necessary, i.e. when the fill level detection module requires
radiation. As the production containers are passing through the measuring bridge with little distance between
each other, it is not possible to put one's hands in the area subject to radiation without disturbing the container
flow. Every gap in the container flow, whether caused by the operator or for other reasons, will lead to the
closure of the radiation area after a short time. If there is, for example, a gap in the flow of production
containers, which is indicated by the fact that there is no triggering of a new container during a certain time of
container movement, the shutter will be closed and will only be opened again when a new container arrives.
The shutter will also be closed in case of a conveyor stop. This measure ensures that containers standing in
the radiation area are not exposed to excessive radiation, and that operators clearing the conveyor section in
case of a conveyor stop are not endangered.
Two display lights attached to the device indicate the status of the X-ray tube. A green light is on when the
radiation exit is closed with the shutter and there is no danger, an orange light signals that the tube is in
operation and is emitting radiation. Within the safety circuit, the function that closes the radiation exit is linked
to the function of the orange light. A possible failure of the light will immediately close the tube. Operation of
the tube can only be resumed after repair of the light.
Two warning signs located on both sides of the measuring bridge in the immediate vicinity of the radiation
area point out to the characteristics of the X-ray source and the dangers evolving from its use.
Generally, the X-ray tube can only be started when two manual switches signal a safety status. The switches
are connected in series so that always both of them must be in the switched-on condition in order to release
the tube. The manual switches are mounted on both sides of the conveyor in the immediate vicinity of the
measuring bridge. This ensures that the operator has always access to one of them when it is required to
deactivate the tube. This status remains until the operator releases again the corresponding switch.

General description
The locator permits monitoring the individual filler valves and identifying non-performing valves in the filler.
Function
A special procedure permits tracking every container that has passed the fill level detection back to the
corresponding filler valve. The basic control unit allocates every filling process to a particular valve.
As in practice, a false filling does not necessarily mean a defective filler valve, the registered false fillings are
compared against the correct fillings.
The incorrect fillings are evaluated against the correct fillings in a ratio of 16:1 (a counter is increased by 16
with every incorrect filling, the counter is decreased by one with every correctly filled container; i.e. 16 good
containers eliminate one fault). The system emits an output signal when the counter value is higher than the
programmed maximum number of serial faults x 16.
The front panel also enables to select a display which indicates the 10 worst non-performing valves causing
underfills and overfills. The display shows the valve numbers and the percentage of these valves in
comparison to the respective fill level counters.
This fault evaluation enables preventive maintenance, e.g. the replacement of non-performing valves.

Function
Two proximity switches are installed in the filler. The first one registers all bottles entering the filler, the second
all bottles leaving the filler. When the entry sensor ("container presence") registers a container which is not
seen at the exit sensor ("Bottle Burst"), this container must have burst in the filler. According to the

The label detection is effected by reflection sensors installed inclined towards the container axis. The
evaluation is based on the different reflection characteristics of labels and container surfaces.
Even glass reflects the light according to the principle angle of incidence = angle of reflection. Paper labels
reflect diffusely in all directions so that sufficient light is reflected from the labels back to the sensors.
Sensors are installed on a measuring bridge of the control unit for every label to be checked. All sensors are
aligned in such a way that the light beam hits the corresponding label at an angle of about 30°.

Function
Every missing label at a container increases a counter in the basic control unit (only one fault per container
will be evaluated). The faults are evaluated in a ratio of 16:1 as against good containers (the counter will be
increased by 16 in case of a fault, it will be decreased by 1 in case of a good container; i.e. 16 good containers
will eliminate one fault). The system emits a stop signal when the counter value exceeds the programmed

Every pulse corresponds to a distance the conveyor has moved. On the basis of any trigger in the system and
by counting the pulses, the processor can at any time determine the position of containers that have passed
the respective trigger.
The encoder is attached to the drive shaft of the conveyor passing below the basic device.

Main Trigger
General description
The main trigger is used for the initial identification of containers on the conveyor. The signal generated by this
trigger is used for the exact determination of container positions prior to passing the basic detection modules.
The measuring bridge with the main trigger is installed above the conveyor at the first measuring bridge
position in moving direction.
Function
During the internal processing, the basic control unit tracks the container position in the entire check area by
counting the conveyor cycle pulses (⇒ Encoder, page 203).
The basic system creates an internal electronic data sheet for every detected container when it receives the
signal from the main trigger. Every detection module enters the check result "good" or "faulty" for the
respective container in the data sheet. The data sheet is evaluated at the end of the basic check area and the
container is either counted as good container or rejected as faulty container. After that the electronic data
sheet will be erased internally.
In the section between the trigger activation and the rejector, the containers must not position slip on the
conveyor nor change their speed in regard to the conveyor in any other way.
In case of basic devices equipped with a closure detection (option) the respective sensor is also installed at
the trigger bridge.
Operating
Brand change

General description
The additional trigger is used for the repositioning of containers in case of larger conveyor distances.
The additional triggers are installed at the conveyor.
As a result of curves or crossovers between conveyors the containers must not be shifted in forward direction
at all and not in backward direction by more than one half container diameter. In order to compensate for such
shifting, the position of containers is determined by a photocell and then compared with the internal system
data. If necessary the system data will be updated with the actual container position.
The distance between the additional trigger and the succeeding rejector must be at least 200 mm. The
containers must not position slip in the section between the rejector and the reject verification trigger.

General description
The reject verification checks the correct device function. The trigger measuring bridge for the reject
verification is installed at the conveyor immediately after the rejector by means of a clamp.
The rejection of a container creates a gap in the flow of good containers so that the reject verification trigger
does not generate a signal for this particular container. The presence of a trigger signal indicates that a faulty
container was not rejected and causes the immediate generation of a fault signal in order to avoid that the
faulty container remains in the production flow.
The containers must not position slip in the section between the rejector and the reject verification trigger.

General description
In case of product changes, the parameter data sets for every production container can be changed by
selecting the desired program by means of an external signal source.
Function
During commissioning the specific parameters regarding installation, container and detection criteria are
configured for every container and product type. Each complete set of parameters is then programmed as
control program. Four individual signal lines permit the specific selection and activation of all 16 available sets
of program data in a coded form. The activation can be initiated by any customer device (e.g. SPC,
operational data logging or similar devices) in form of a potential-free signal.
Operating
Brand change
External signals automatically switch to the brands with the data sets of the production containers.
The brand change option via the front panel is blocked with this option.

Function group "control unit"
As long as the basic device operates without external or internal faults the device status "0" is valid and the
optional warning light is ”green”. If individual detection modules signal a malfunction which does not endanger
the production process, the status "I" is valid and the warning light is ”yellow”. If the basic device is disturbed
in a way that the monitoring of the production is no longer possible, the status switches to "2" and the optional
warning light is ”red”.
In the path I not only the device status is displayed but also the states of the four function groups control unit,
signals, device monitoring and detections.
Example:
Function group detections = red (2),
Function group device monitoring = green (0)
Function group signals = yellow (I)
Function group control unit = green (0)
If the device status is increased (from 0 to I, from I to 2, or from 0 to 2), the menu device status / messages
appears automatically on the front panel, provided that the device is at the operator level.
Display of messages
If particular internal or external faults are detected by the basic device, it emits a fault message.
» Press one of the keys . The system displays automatically the message of the first function group
with an available message.
By pressing the keys again, all function groups with a current message can be selected one after the other.
The paths 2 to 5 each correspond to a function group.
3 I 2I
The message in the example belongs to the function group "3" "signals". The message number is "2I". By
means of these two numbers you will find the message in the tables (⇒ Seite 231). The tables of the
messages are sorted in the order of the function groups.
3 I 2I trigger disturbed
Additional information is available via the reference number. In this example the reference number is "I". This
means that the main trigger is disturbed as it can be seen in the table of the messages (⇒ Seite 231).
Reference number
trigger disturbed
3 I 2 I The reference number is a coded indication of the trigger number.
1 = Main trigger, 2 = 2nd trigger, 4 = 3rd trigger,
3,5,6,7 = Sum from the respective triggers = several disturbed triggers
If a "0" is indicated at the position of the reference number, no reference number is available for this
message.
The first digit of the message number indicates the warning light status of a
message:
0 = Normal production
I = Limited device function
2 = Device function disturbed
Messages which can be confirmed are marked with an asterisk "*". When you press the key all the
messages of the selected function group which are subject to confirmation are deleted.
All numbers within a message which may change are displayed in grey. These comprise the reference
numbers and the states of the individual function groups of the device status.
