  • Mixed sizes Containers from 0,2 liters to 2,5 liters can be in the same bag.
  • Improved manual scanning of no-reads No-reads of the ongoing batch can be manually read during the run.
  • Mixed orientation of EAN-code EAN-codes can be vertical or horizontal
  • Reading of large bar codes The Petimeter can read the large bar codes introduced by Coca-Cola in the Netherlands.

  • New features

Petimeter  
- a reliable solution for counting, sorting and registration of bottles ,cartons and cans  

The Eleiko Petimeter is a reliable, proven and flexible machine for counting, sorting and registration of bottles and cans of different sizes. It is designed to combine high throughput with high availability and reliability.

 

High throughput - Low operational costs

High capacity per invested €

The Eleiko Petimeter has a counting speed during a batch of 45-50 bottles/minute (2700-3000 bottles/hour) when running PET-bottles. Average real throughput in operation is 2000-2500 bottles/hour. For cans the average throughput is about 5000- 6000 cans/hour.

Measurements on the Coca-Cola installation in Tilburg, where mainly large PET-bottles are counted, shows an average speed of 48-49 bottles/minute (2900 bottles/hour) during counting and a throughput of 2200 bottles/hour in real operation.

Low operating costs

There is normally one operator for three Petimeters. The service costs are less than 2 €

per operating hour or about 0,08 cent/bottle.

High availability

The stops and down-time is low due to robust and proven technical solution.

Measurements from the Coca-Cola installation in Tilburg show availability better than 98%.

Used in a Deposit System the Petimeter and NC-Compressor are invaluable -  
In order to determine the amount of the deposit (for the deposit paid to customers) and the handling fee (for collecting packaging; the handling fee is prefixed and it depends on the material and manner of accepting the package) to be paid to retailers and operators of redemption centres the EPP recounts by a petimeter (an automatic counter pf plastic, metal and glass bottles and cans) the collected packaging which has been previously counted manually. During the counting a check is carried out to find out whether the counted packages belong in the EPP system. Before the operator casts the content of a collecting bag in the drum of a petimeter he will scan the information sticker on the bag in order to identify the consigner of the returned packages. A petimeter counts the packages and each package counted will be transferred automatically to the account of the consigner. A petimeter uses the EAN code for counting.
