Description
The ZONESUN ZS-FA3012 Automatic X-ray Liquid Level Inspection Machine is designed for inline inspection of liquid fill levels in bottles and cans. It uses non-contact X-ray detection to identify underfilled and overfilled containers during continuous production without opening or touching the package.
The machine can be used with PET bottles, glass bottles, aluminum cans and tinplate cans, including transparent and opaque packaging. It is suitable for bottled water, carbonated drinks, beer, juice, dairy beverages, sauces and other liquid products, and can be integrated with compatible conveyors in existing filling and packaging lines.

FAQ
How does the machine inspect liquid inside opaque cans?
The system uses X-ray detection to measure the internal liquid level without relying on container transparency.
Can it inspect both bottles and cans?
Yes. The machine can be configured for PET bottles, glass bottles, aluminum cans, and tinplate cans.
Can it be added to an existing production line?
Yes. Its compact inline structure is designed for installation over a compatible conveyor system.
How X-ray Liquid Level Inspection Works
The ZS-FA3012 uses X-ray attenuation differences to evaluate the internal liquid level as each bottle or can passes through the inspection position. Because the measurement does not depend on visible light passing through the package, the system can be used with both transparent and opaque containers.
Best-Suited Applications
The machine is suitable for beverage and liquid-food production lines that require automatic verification of fill level after filling and capping. Typical applications include bottled water, carbonated drinks, beer, juice, dairy beverages, liquid condiments and canned drinks.
X-ray Inspection vs Vision-Based Level Inspection
Vision-based systems normally rely on cameras and visible product boundaries, which can be affected by opaque containers or labels. X-ray inspection measures the internal fill condition without relying on container transparency, making it more suitable for metal cans and other packages where the liquid level cannot be seen directly.
Where Should the Machine Be Installed?
The ZS-FA3012 is typically installed after filling and capping and before secondary packaging. This allows non-conforming containers to be identified before products move to cartoning, case packing or palletizing.

Additional Frequently Asked Questions
Can the ZS-FA3012 inspect aluminum or tinplate cans?
Yes. Metal cans are among the listed compatible container types for this X-ray liquid level inspection system.
Can it inspect opaque bottles?
Yes. Because the system uses X-ray detection rather than visible-light inspection, container transparency is not required.
What defects can it identify?
The machine is designed primarily to identify liquid level deviations such as underfilled and overfilled containers.
Can it work with an automatic rejection system?
Yes. It can be configured as part of an online inspection setup with a compatible rejection mechanism according to the production-line requirements.
Can it be installed after an existing filling machine?
Yes. The compact inline structure is intended for integration with compatible existing conveyor systems.
