Optical inspection for ampoules, vials, cartridges, and syringes
Ensure product integrity and safety with this advanced inspection system that accurately identifies particles, cosmetic defects, and potential leaks in injectable containers, providing peace of mind and compliance with stringent quality standards.

Inspects and Tests Pharmaceutical Injectables
The AV-E Optical Inspection Machine by G.F. S.p.A. is designed to perform critical inspection tasks for pharmaceutical and biotech applications. Specializing in the examination of ampoules, vials, cartridges, and syringes, this system integrates seamlessly into your processing and packaging lines. It features a robust multi-station setup for thorough particle and cosmetic inspection, ensuring defect-free end products like insulin syringes, liposome suspensions, and freeze-dried antibiotics.
Operating continuously, the AV-E optimizes cycle time and minimizes downtime with its reliable rotary table or inclined conveyor belt feeding system. Optional modules for rinsing, drying, and high-voltage leak detection (HVLD, VDLD, HSA) enhance its inspection capabilities. With a packaging range accommodating items between 8 mm to 52 mm in diameter, this machine ensures versatility across diverse production requirements.
Engineered for energy efficiency and precision, the AV-E is equipped to handle liquid, freeze-dried, suspension, emulsion, and oily products, making it ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturers aiming to maintain rigorous quality standards. Its compliance with industry norms supports GMP and FDA-regulated environments, while a user-friendly interface offers straightforward operation and integration. Comprehensive support and customization options are available to meet specific production challenges, backed by G.F. S.p.A.’s commitment to innovation and quality.
