Metal contamination detection for tablets and capsules
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, ensuring product purity is paramount. Detecting and removing tablet and capsule contaminants minimizes the risk of compromised product safety and quality. Typical challenges include identifying minute metal particles in high-speed production lines.
Detects and removes metal contaminants
The metal detector by ACG World is designed to identify and eliminate minute metal particles in tablets and filled capsules. It detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, safeguarding product quality. Integrated with encapsulation and tablet compression processes, it efficiently separates contaminated items from the batch. Key features include 100% online detection and high sensitivity to all metal types. Contact parts are made from SS316 or FDA-certified food-grade material, preventing detector-induced contamination. Capable of handling up to 270,000 capsules per hour, it detects particles as small as 0.15 mm for ferrous, 0.2 mm for non-ferrous, and 0.3 mm for stainless steel.
