Vial inspection system for pharmaceutical products
Ensure the integrity and safety of parenteral drugs with advanced imaging and detection technology, designed to pinpoint contaminants and defects in high-speed, continuous production lines.

Inspects and Ensures Vial Integrity
The HEUFT Spotter II PHS vial inspection system offers pharmaceutical manufacturers unparalleled precision for ensuring product purity and container integrity. This state-of-the-art equipment integrates seamlessly into production lines, utilizing advanced optical and X-ray technologies to detect foreign particles, glass defects, and filling inaccuracies in vials ranging from 2 ml to 100 ml. Capable of inspecting up to 600 vials per minute, it ensures pharmaceutical safety by identifying and rejecting faulty containers. The system’s automation includes servo-controlled alignment and imaging, allowing comprehensive 360° coverage and real-time analysis while minimizing human intervention. Compliance with FDA, GMP, GAMP5, and 21 CFR Part 11 standards makes it ideal for high-stakes environments. Its robust design, optimized for space efficiency and easy cleaning, supports the continuous, high-speed inspection and ensures ongoing operational reliability and low maintenance costs.
