As more companies enter the cannabis-infused food and beverage product development and processing market, they will seek a high level of quality control (QC) to help ensure product safety and labeling accuracy. 

The Silgan Equipment 51R84 vision system has been significantly revised to let the system conduct 360-degree inspections of full-body shrink sleeve-labeled products, including beverages and other food products, as well as products with standard wraparound labels.

The GP-M3000 automatically opens, fills, closes, and seals standup pouches popular with the cannabis industry and its customers. It can handle both clear and printed pouches, and the system can seal pouches with a variety of reclosing features, including the child-resistant heat-seal closures needed for cannabis products. 

The LightLab 3 high-performance liquid chromatography-based (HPLC) analyzer can measure 11 cannabinoids, including THC and CBD, in cannabis plants and products down to a detection threshold of 0.05 percent.
