Major Pharmaceutical CMO Installs Product Inspection Equipment To Achieve High Quality Standards

Pharma Tech Industries (PTI), a contract manufacturer and packer of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and personal care products, is focused on exceeding customers' expectations. To consistently achieve their high quality standards, they rely on x-ray and metal detection systems from Mettler-Toledo Safeline and checkweighers from Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed.

"Last summer, when we were looking for an x-ray inspection system for a new production line, we considered several suppliers," said Bill Leonard, Engineering Manager at PTI's Royston, Georgia facility. "We chose the SmartChek x-ray system based on the quality of the equipment, the reputation of the supplier and the responsiveness of the supplier's service team."

The x-ray system at PTI inspects OTC and prescription pharmaceuticals – powdered products packed in pouches made of metalized film. The ability to detect metal contamination through the metalized film lead to PTI's decision to install this x-ray system, though it detects glass, stone, bone, rubber and other contaminants too.
