Top-down x-ray inspection for pharmaceutical packages
Ensure product safety by detecting minute foreign particles and packaging defects in syringes and blister packs with precision and reliability, safeguarding quality before distribution.
Detects and Rejects Packaging Defects and Foreign Objects
The HEUFT eXaminer II XB is an engineered-to-order X-ray inspection system that ensures the highest standards in pharmaceutical packaging quality. Leveraging unique pulsed X-ray technology for top-down inspection, it reliably detects foreign objects and packaging defects in syringes, blister packs, and lyophilized products. This system’s high throughput of up to 2,400 items per minute seamlessly integrates into existing production lines, providing precise defect detection with a significantly reduced false rejection rate. Utilizing HEUFT’s proprietary real-time image processing and HEUFTreflexx A.I., the equipment discriminates between genuine faults and normal variations. Its low radiation pulses prevent motion blurs and allow continuous operation at high speeds, ensuring consistent product integrity. Compliant with global safety standards, the HEUFT eXaminer II XB includes self-diagnosis and robust documentation functionalities, making it indispensable for pharmaceutical manufacturers prioritizing quality assurance and safety in packaging operations.
