BST India unveiled three new solutions for the Indian packaging industry – the ProView web inspection system, the TubeScan XL and IPQ Surface — at the PlastIndia 2023 expo held in New Delhi from 1 to 5 February.
“The ProView web inspection system is targeted at the mid-segment market in India. This system is suitable for narrow and wide web applications,” says Khushal Patel of BST India.
The TubeScan XL, which is a 100% defect detection system, inspects web widths between 900 and 1700 millimeters and detects even the finest of printing defects such as splashes, register deviations, and color changes at high web speeds.
“BST’s TubeScan series has seen tremendous success worldwide in the narrow web segment. There are more than 2000 installations across the world. The inspection system is now available in XL format for wide web applications,” Patel says.
The IPQ Surface is a reliable high-end surface inspection system applicable across a wide range of materials such as film inspection, cold seal inspection, and paper inspection. “The IPQ Surface got a very good response at the PlastIndia 2023 show,” Patel says.
Talking about PlastIndia 2023, Patel said though the show was great in terms of participation and footfall, the overall management was subpar.
“There is no doubt that PlastIndia is a great show for the plastics and plastic packaging industry. We get to meet all the stakeholders from the industry here. But the management and organization of PlastIndia 2023 were not very good. There were a lot of logistical issues. It was a task setting up our booth. I hope the PlastIndia management does a better job next time,” Patel concludes.
