From the aseptic filling line, capped bottles are conveyed on their bases. Just outside of the aseptic zone, a Domino ink-jet coder prints the date of manufacture near the base of each bottle. Bottles continue through a wall to a separate, larger room. A Heuft inspection station uses two cameras to check for proper cap placement and fill levels.
Next, bottles proceed through a Hartness Dynac 400 spiral accumulator (photo A) that holds 3½ minutes worth of either-sized bottle.
