Combined visual and container closure integrity tester for vials
Ensure precise quality control of pharmaceutical packaging by integrating cutting-edge visual and closure integrity testing in one platform, designed for high throughput inspection of vials and ampoules within complex production environments.
Inspects and Ensures Container Integrity
The Combined Visual Inspection and Container Closure Integrity Tester, featured in the VARIO MTX and DUO MTX platforms from WILCO AG, offers a comprehensive inspection solution for pharmaceutical and biotech industries. This equipment is distinguished by its ability to simultaneously conduct non-destructive visual inspections and integrity tests on containers, leveraging advanced inspection methods such as Vacuum and Pressure Decay, Headspace Analysis, and Automated Visual Inspection. Capable of processing up to 600 units per minute, it is ideal for high-throughput environments requiring a variety of tests across different package types, including glass and plastic vials, ampoules, and lyophilized products.
Incorporating state-of-the-art automation, the system adheres to GMP guidelines and ensures compliance with 21 CFR part 11 for data integrity. The tester’s modular design allows for seamless integration into existing production lines, facilitating inline and continuous operations. With features like smooth container handling and simple, toolless format changeovers, this equipment minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity.
Developed to meet the demanding requirements of inspecting parenteral products such as vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and chemotherapy treatments, it offers flexibility in testing a range of product forms, including liquids and solids. Available in durable materials tailored for pharmaceutical environments, it supports strict hygienic standards. For enhanced operational efficiency, optional modules for 2D DataMatrix Code reading and NIR spectroscopy for moisture detection can be integrated. WILCO AG provides customization and engineering support to tailor the system to specific production needs.
