A seal inspection system for 100% accurate seal quality control
Qipack is an innovative company specialising in seal inspection equipment. We design systems that monitor the sealing process and final seal quality of all types of packaged products.
Seal inspection
Qipack is an innovative company specialising in seal inspection equipment. We design systems that monitor the sealing process and final seal quality of all types of packaged products. We believe it is important to assess the quality of the production process proactively, as anticipating potential improvements is more cost-effective. While seal inspection using conventional vision technology is not always sufficient, the advanced infrared technology used in our systems is capable of detecting even the smallest yet critical defects, including those found in printed or aluminium-based laminates.
In short, our seal inspection system makes packaging quality control reliable, straightforward, sustainable and cost-effective.
Qipack’s 3 step approach
How we help your company achieve its packaging quality objectives:
- Packaging line audit
- Packaging process optimisation
- Online production monitoring
QipCam
The QipCam consists of the following 3 units:
- High-performance infrared camera
- Scans and compares each new seal against a registered reference seal. Any deviations or defects are immediately detected.
- Control PC
- • IP66 stainless steel enclosure
- • Different I/O connections for reject systems
- QipCam software
- Analyses the pixel data received from the camera and translates it into a seal quality fingerprint.
Infrared technology and sophisticated software make seal inspection possible
The seal inspection system is based on advanced infrared technology and sophisticated software. This enables continuous in-line monitoring of seal pressure and seal integrity, as well as in-line wall thickness control for blow moulding equipment. An additional option is an integrated OEE management module, capable of monitoring the production process through real-time production status updates. The software also includes extensive analysis functionality, allowing seal inspection reports to be stored for future reference and packaging quality analysis. Full track-and-trace functionality can also be integrated.

Seal inspection for improved production process control
Our seal inspection system is capable of far more than you might expect. Our solutions can inspect every packaged product produced on almost any type of heat-sealing production line.
We can detect and visualise a wide range of defects, including:
- product trapped in the seal
- laminate ply defects
- pressure variations during sealing
- contamination on seal tooling
With this advanced seal and leak detection technology, you can not only detect leaks, but also prevent them in future production processes.
Discover our packaging process improvement solutions
The seal inspection system operates without interfering with the production process and without affecting production capacity. There are no limitations regarding the types of laminate or printing used, including aluminium-based laminates. Demonstrations can easily be performed without production downtime.
