Wavy tops occur during the tubular conversion process caused by incorrect temperature settings or insufficient glass, leading to an uneven sealing surface on the vial flange.
In the following processes this characteristic can have a critical impact on Container-closure integrity (CCI) during capping or can exceed dimensional specifications.
Solution: Real-Time Detection with Our Hot-End System
Our system works by precisely comparing the vial's head contour with an ideal reference contour. It measures and calculates the maximum deviation in millimeters, ensuring accurate detection of any inconsistencies. If the deviation exceeds the predefined tolerance, the system automatically rejects the vial, guaranteeing consistent quality and reliability in the production process.
