Application: A method for classifying a package (Patent ID: US20230341304A1)
The patent filed by Tetra Laval International SA describes a method for classifying packages based on their stiffness, particularly focusing on carton packages filled with food products. The method involves applying a force on the package, measuring the deformation caused by this force, comparing the deformation to a reference value, and classifying the package into one of two categories based on whether the difference falls within a threshold interval. The classification process helps ensure the quality and integrity of the packages, allowing for efficient sorting and handling based on their stiffness characteristics.
Additionally, the patent outlines an apparatus designed for implementing this classification method, featuring a conveyor system, arms with rolls to apply forces on package panels, rotary encoders to measure deformations, a memory for storing threshold values, and a control unit for classification. The apparatus is equipped to engage with different sides of the package, apply forces, measure deformations accurately, and make real-time classification decisions based on the stiffness criteria. By combining the method and apparatus described in the patent, companies in the food packaging industry can streamline their quality control processes, enhance product safety, and ensure consistency in packaging stiffness across their product lines.
