Pharmaceutical powder and granule metal detection system

Ensure the integrity of your pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products by detecting and eliminating metal contaminants during powder and granule processing, enhancing product safety and compliance with regulatory standards.

Detects and Inspects Metal in Powders and Granules

The Insight VF PH from Loma Systems is a precision-engineered pharmaceutical metal detection system, specifically designed to inspect powders and granules. Equipped with a Direct Digital Signal (DDS) vector display, this system ensures optimal product set-up and diagnostic accuracy. It’s GMP compliant, featuring a mirror-polished finish that eliminates dust traps, and comes with full IQ, OQ & PQ validation documents. With a throughput capacity of up to 3000 kg per hour, this system automatically calibrates for product effect and loose materials, storing up to 200 pre-sets for efficient operation. Constructed from 304 and 316 polished stainless steel, it excels in harsh environments with an IP66 washdown rating, and offers multiple reject options including Wash in Place (WIP), making it ideal for continuous, automated pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production lines. Ethernet and USB capabilities ensure seamless integration and data management, enhancing operational efficiency while maintaining compliance with stringent quality standards.
