In the competitive world of craft brewing, quality is paramount, and can seam defects can lead to leaks, oxidation, and contamination which significantly degrade the quality of beer. While fun, submerging, squeezing, or dropping cans isn’t a sustainable form of seam inspection. These and other non-technical methods of double seam inspection can sometimes help identify obvious defects but they’re not an adequate substitute for proper technical practices.
At OneVision we manufacture seam inspection equipment and unfortunately a lot of breweries reach out AFTER they’ve lost pallets of product due to seam issues. We get it. Learning the ins and outs of can seam inspection seems like a daunting undertaking and requires your brewery to make a monetary investment. Understanding these challenges, we’ve developed seam inspection systems that meet every budget and operation size. Whether you’re just starting to can or are a contract brewer running multiple can lines, we are here to help.
For the brewery just starting to can, we have curated an essential kit for manually tearing down seams. Also, check out QualityCanSeams.com for guidance on double seam defects and how to properly conduct inspections.
For more seasoned or expanding operations, we can save your team time, reduce errors, and provide easy information retrieval and reporting. Plus, being able to visually see the cross-section of a seam is really cool and invaluable! We are excited to offer in-house financing options to make it more feasible for breweries to get their hands on visual inspection equipment.
“The OneVision system is impressively reliable and accurate, ensuring high-quality seam inspection that significantly enhances our production efficiency and product integrity,” said Anthony Raggio, Director of Packaging & Logistics for Drake’s Brewing Company. “Its user-friendly interface and robust performance have made it an invaluable asset in our quality control process.”
