Vision & Counting

The centrepiece of ILAPAK’s new suite of counting systems is the state-of-the-art Vision 2000, which offers a flexible, accurate and low-noise alternative to conventional vibratory counters.

Using advanced line scan camera technology, the Vision 2000 counts and feeds baked goods into boxes or the infeed of a VFFS machine. Speeds of up to 100,000 products per hour with over 99% accuracy can be achieved.

The Vision 2000 offers complete flexibility in terms of product type, shape and size. It can accommodate fresh, par-baked, frozen and difficult-to-handle raw dough products, whether baguettes, pretzel sticks, rolls, bagels, donuts or croissants.

Key to the flexibility of the belt-based system is a powerful line scan camera. The images are overlaid to produce a ‘real time’ picture of the product flow, and intelligent software processes this image to calculate when the target number per pack has been reached. Batches are separated via pneumatically controlled ‘fingers’.

Whilst there are competing systems on the marketplace, ILAPAK’s vision counter boasts the fastest available camera technology and a unique emphasis on hygiene and accessibility. This is reflected in the unrivalled build quality of the machine, which is constructed from stainless steel and superior grade plastics for easy cleaning and simple maintenance.

The Z-Series Counting Machine is equipped with 4 – 12 vibration channels and is designed for counting from 2 - 200 units per minute. It can handle fresh, par-baked or deep-frozen bakery products such as kaiser rolls, bagels, croissants, donuts.

The machine is characterized by excellent workmanship utilizing stainless steel and superior-grade plastics. Special features such as minimized drops and individually adapted collector bins ensure that you obtain a machine without compromises to handle your product as gently as possible.
We have placed special emphasis on design for cleaning and simple maintenance to minimize downtime.

Quickly removable (without tools) distribution plates and vibration channels are perfectly assembled in a stainless steel self-draining frame.

A High End Siemens S7 or Allen Bradley control unit regulates all machine functions and the 6“ touch screen is the state-of- the-art communication panel for the operator. The machine achieves speeds of up to 60 drops per minute and can be synchronized with any established packaging machine on the market.
