Bottle and vial inspection and coding system
Ensure seamless coding and inspection of vials and bottles with rapid 360° evaluation for error-free packaging and compliance in high-speed production lines.
Inspects, Codes, and Verifies Bottles and Vials
The TQS-SP-Bottle Vision and Printing System from Wipotec is an indispensable solution for streamlined operations in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. This compact unit offers high-speed, automated inspection and coding for bottles and vials, ensuring precise label verification and traceability. Utilizing a 360° integrated camera module, the system inspects cylindrical objects at rates up to 500 pieces per minute, catching and sorting out mislabeled or faulty items with precision. The machine features continuous inkjet (CIJ) printing for auxiliary code marking, supporting higher-level aggregation in bundles or cartons.
Wipotec’s system is designed for optimum integration into existing production lines, offering modular flexibility and a central adjustment unit for easy setup and configuration via the ConfigureFast interface. It excels in handling diverse product types, from prescription drug bottles to aerosol cans, thanks to secure side-pressing handling. The unit’s compliance with IQ/OQ validation and GMP standards underscores its commitment to quality and regulatory adherence. Maintenance is simplified through tool-free format changes, enhancing uptime and productivity. With material options to suit various environments and applications, the TQS-SP-Bottle ensures robust, reliable performance tailored to your packaging needs.
