Meeting Accuracy And Safety Objectives With Inspection And Weighing Technologies

New approaches to selecting and using inspection and weighing equipment can help pharmaceutical processors better meet accuracy and safety objectives.

Metal detectors have long been a staple in pharmaceutical tablet press, capsule filling and deduster applications. This technology is also used in conjunction with packaging line operations. However, there can be challenges and limitations when metal-based packaging components, such as metalized film and foil seals, are part of the primary structure.

Implementing new technology—such as X-ray inspection—can help expand both inspection and detection capability.
