Consumer Packaged Goods

In the world of consumer packaged goods (CPG), ensuring package integrity is paramount. Packaging defects, like poor thread engagement, stress fractures induced by porosity, seal misalignment, or damage during handling, can lead to leakage issues. These problems not only affect product quality but can also compromise safety. Traditional inspection methods often struggle to pinpoint the precise cause of these leaks, and in some cases, they may even exacerbate the problem by damaging critical components such as delicate threading, seals, or assembly joints.

Leakage in packaging can have severe consequences, including product spoilage, contamination, reduced shelf life, and compromised safety. Industrial CT scanning empowers CPG professionals to detect and address these issues comprehensively and non-destructively, preserving product integrity and minimizing costly problems.

Lumafield's Neptune industrial X-ray CT scanner offers a transformative solution for CPG professionals. With Voyager's browser-based dimensioning and Revolving Slice Planes tools, packaging engineers can accurately measure thread engagement depth and angles, revealing any deviations that might jeopardize the seal's integrity. Automated Porosity Analysis further aids in characterizing voids and identifying potential weak spots prone to "breakthrough" cracks. Additionally, CAD Comparison enables users to compare scanned parts with original CAD or mesh files, facilitating the quick and efficient detection of manufacturing discrepancies or defects.

Lumafield's Neptune industrial X-ray CT scanner offers a transformative solution for CPG professionals. 100x faster than traditional CT inspection, Lumafield’s Ultra-Fast CT technology can produce full high-resolution reconstructions of packaging products in as little as 0.1 seconds.
