•Case Study: Tablet, Capsule Inspection Provides The Right Prescription
West-ward Pharmaceutical Corp., a generic prescription drug manufacturer based in Eatontown, NJ, has been in an ambitious expansion mode over the past few years. To be successful, the company's packaging lines must perform at high accuracies, with consistency and reliability. To provide 100-percent inspection and to ensure quality and precision for hundreds of prescription tablets and capsules, West-ward uses a range of Lock Inspection Systems (www.lockinspection.com), metal detectors and checkweighers from its tablet-manufacturing operation through to final case packing. These include the MET 30+ pharmaceutical metal detector, the WeighChek CK 2500 checkweigher and the WeighChek CK50 case weigher.
West-ward produces about 100 medications in approximately 300 stock keeping units, including two over-the-counter (OTC) products, as well as assorted cardiovascular drugs, muscle relaxants and antibiotics available by prescription, in various quantities, package configurations and formulations for distribution to major wholesalers across the country and to governmental facilities. The drugs are packed on four lines that run anywhere from 60 bottles of 100-count tablets/min to 150 bottles/min, depending on the product, the tablet or capsule size and filling equipment and the package configuration. The products include tablets and capsules in opaque white high-density polyethylene rounds from several sources in sizes from 60 cc to 1,250 cc.
