Advanced technologies for pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing for the real-time confirmation of product quality
As a world class trusted supplier of critical technology for pharmaceutical inspection, we provide our customers with an advanced product range backed by extensive application expertise and an exceptional global service network. Our focus is complete business solutions that deliver high levels of product safety and quality with the accuracy, speed, and precision required to maximize your total cost of ownership.
Checkweighing
Checkweighing systems weigh and count products in motion, rejecting those that fail to meet exacting specifications. Installed inline, our checkweighers operate at high speed and high accuracy, safeguarding the completeness of finished products. Products move from the outfeed of the production line onto the checkweigher weigh cell and are then accepted or rejected according to product-specific settings.
Our checkweighers are designed specifically for the pharmaceutical industry for oral solid dosage forms and liquid vial packaging operations. Sensitive enough to detect the absence of applicators or even Patient Information Leaflets, they provide an exacting check of packaged contents, helping to ensure the product consistency and quality required to preserve brand integrity.
Metal detection
Metal detectors identify small particles of stainless steel, ferrous, and non-ferrous metals that can enter the workflow from the manufacturing process, or raw materials. The technology uses conducting coils wound on a non-metallic frame connected to a high-frequency radio transmitter to sense the presence of metal contaminants. Metallic particles passing through the coils disturb the associated high-frequency field triggering a tiny change in voltage (microvolts) that allows instantaneous detection and rejection of contaminated product.
We offer high performance single frequency metal detection systems and multi-scan technology that uses up to five adjustable frequencies. By enabling the simultaneous detection of many metal types and smaller particle sizes, multi-scan technology delivers equivalent performance to a series of metal detectors, substantially reducing the probability of missing a contaminant for critical applications.
X-ray detection and inspection
X-ray detection and inspection systems have the highest level of contaminant detection with the ability to find a wide range of non-metal and metal contaminants. X-ray equipment can also detect problems such as mis-formed or mis-filled packaging, or missing components such as incomplete pill counts.
With a wide variety of configurations, our X-ray offering enables robust foreign contaminant detection for a wide range of product types, from tablet and capsule blister packs to cans, plastic bottles, and other upright packaging.
