Glass container inspection system
Ensure product integrity with precision inspection for glass containers, detecting particles, filling levels, and defects to maintain stringent quality standards in pharmaceutical production lines.
Inspects and Tests Glass Containers for Defects
The SA9F and SA10 inspection machines from the Marchesini Group represent state-of-the-art solutions designed specifically for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. These machines excel in inspecting glass containers such as ampoules and vials, detecting extraneous and non-reflecting particles, as well as ensuring correct filling levels. The SA9F model is tailored for ampoules up to 100 ml, while the SA10 handles vials up to 500 ml.
Capable of operating both as standalone units and integrated within existing production lines, these machines deliver high-speed inspection with throughput capacities of 150 pcs/min for the SA9F and 100 pcs/min for the SA10. The advanced automation features, supported by precise PLC control, enable seamless integration with upstream and downstream processes, ensuring a smooth and efficient production line.
Highly relevant for the production of biologic drug substances, injectable vaccines, liquid antibiotics, and more, these machines meet stringent industry standards, including GMP compliance. Optional inspections for cap and ring color, product coloration, and sidewall defects enhance their capability, while their robust construction supports a variety of operating conditions and cleaning processes.
The SA9F and SA10 machines underline Marchesini Group’s commitment to reliability and tech-forward solutions, providing pharmaceutical manufacturers and life sciences companies with the assurance of thorough quality control for their liquid-filled products.
