Vial inspection system for pharmaceutical industry
Ensure vial integrity by detecting and rejecting contaminants, glass defects, and dosage errors with precise optical and X-ray inspection, safeguarding pharmaceutical quality and safety.
Inspects and Detects Defects in Vials
The HEUFT spotter II PHL is a sophisticated inspection system designed by HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK for pharmaceutical and biotech applications, ensuring safety and integrity in vial packaging. This system distinguishes itself with a combination of superior optics and pulsed X-ray technology, providing comprehensive defect and foreign matter detection in vials ranging from 20 ml to 1000 ml. It efficiently identifies issues like glass splinters, closure leaks, and dosage deviations in products such as vaccines, antibiotics, and lyophilized powders. With the capacity to inspect up to 250 vials per minute, this highly automated system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, featuring a user-friendly interface and remote monitoring capabilities. Meeting stringent FDA and GMP standards, the system offers both operational reliability and minimal maintenance requirements, with features like a servo-controlled conveyor for easy brand changes and self-explanatory audiovisual guidance through HEUFTNaVi. Optional modules and configurations are available to tailor the system to specific inspection needs, ensuring both high performance and adaptability in high-speed manufacturing environments.
