Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed And Mettler-Toledo Safeline To Exhibit Their Pharmaceutical Product Inspection Equipment At INTERPHEX New York 2009
Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed and Mettler-Toledo Safeline, the worldwide leaders in checkweighing, metal detection and x-ray inspection equipment, will exhibit their state-of-the-art pharmaceutical product inspection equipment in booth #2737 at Interphex New York to be held in New York City at the Jacob Javits Convention Center March 17-19, 2009.
METTLER TOLEDO HI-SPEED delivers security, productivity, and profits with its comprehensive line of high precision checkweighers specifically designed for pharmaceutical applications. Wide ranges of sizes and configurations are available to handle most container types and package designs, even at high production rates to ensure accurate product delivery and optimized production processes.
A HI-SPEED XS2 Checkweigher, which delivers unparallel accuracy at high production rates in a compact, space saving design, will be showcased. Patented electromagnetic force restoration (EMFR) weighing technology yields sustained precision over long production cycles. The large 15" multi-lingual color touch screen user interface is easy to learn and use with the ability to tailor security access to individuals or groups. An optional 21 CFR Part 11 compliant program is available for complete traceability, or add on our FreeWeigh.NET SQC/SPC program for an integrated quality system.
Also featured will be the Starweigh Checkweigher which is an ideal solution for applications where high product value or regulatory compliance requires 100% inspection. It has been successfully used in a wide variety of applications from rounds, ovals, and cube shape packages; liquids, aerosols, powders and solids. Starweigh is an intermittent motion checkweigher, delivering laboratory quality static weights at high production rates.
The Starweigh checkweigher statically weighs each individual package while maintaining high line rates to deliver unparalleled accuracies in a production environment. Unlike traditional checkweighers, which require packages to be weighed in-motion which can compromise delivered accuracy Starweigh is equipped with multiple weigh pans to achieve the highest accuracy for a wide range of product sizes and weights.
METTLER TOLEDO SAFELINE metal detectors and x-ray inspection systems lead the product inspection industry in sensitivity, durability and ease-of-use. Both technologies automatically detect any ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel contaminants in pharmaceutical products. Our x-ray inspection systems can also detect and products containing stone, bone or high-density plastic contaminant and also inspect for portion control and package integrity.
SAFELINE metal detectors showcased include a Tablex 2 with maximum sensitivity, flexibility and stability. The Tablex 2 has a very user-intuitive interface and a highly flexible design. It's very small footprint fits easily into space-restricted areas and the position of the detector head can be easily adjusted to suit any process equipment configuration. The system also lends ultimate mobility and improved stability with robust, low profile castors. Tablex 2 systems are also available with a mini conveyor.
The Pharma GF gravity fall metal detector delivers unmatched sensitivity for the inspection of free-flowing pharmaceutical and nutraceutical powders. It maintains the highest inspection standards on bulk powder material, identifying all types of metal contamination including ferrous, non-ferrous, and all grades of stainless steel for safer products. Optimal performance is ensured with the self check capability that continuously monitors sensitivity and sounds an alarm if a problem occurs. A separate alarm is activated if the reject fails to respond within a preset time, maximizing uptime.
Built to comply with 21 CFR parts 210 & 211, FDA, and GMP standards and to satisfy the specific demands of the industry, its compact design fits easily under feed hoppers in the milling room or at the discharge of bulk feed conveyors for easy integration into tight spaces. The system's Performance Validation Routine allows users to confirm that it is tested by qualified personnel with documented test standards at agreed time intervals.
The Pharma GF's high speed diverter reject, constructed of mirror-polished stainless steel, minimizes product loss during contaminant removal maximizing profits. The detector reliably identifies and eliminates contamination regardless of the product volume or flow rate to fully protect products.
The PowerPhasePRO metal detector delivers unmatched sensitivity to all metal contaminants in pharmaceutical products for ultimate brand protection. It is extremely simple to operate with its Windows™ style full-color touch screen. Combined with unparalleled on-line sensitivity and exceptional stability, the PowerPhasePRO provides maximum uptime for increased profits.
The sophisticated PowerPhase electronics software delivers unrivalled levels of detection sensitivity enabling the detection of even difficult to find non-magnetic stainless steels. In addition, the PowerPhasePRO metal detectors offer the unique benefit of an advanced ‘change free running mode' enabling multiple products to be run at a single setting, eliminating the need to re-set at product changes. The inclusion of advanced in-built condition monitoring technology provides advanced warning of maintenance needs before failure to further enhance plant efficiency. PowerPhasePRO heads provide easy integration with conveyor systems for fully automated product inspection.
The booth will also feature a SAFELINE PowerChekPlus x-ray inspection system, which is unmatched in the industry for sensitivity and fully automatic product set-up. Utilizing electronically-generated low-energy x-ray technology, this inspection system detects and rejects many contaminants in bulk or sealed products such as metal, stone, bone, glass, and dense plastics. The system can also verify fill levels and confirm that all components such as leaflets or rows of blister packs are present. All Mettler-Toledo Safeline x-ray inspection systems are extremely easy to use and we offer full operator training programs.
METTLER TOLEDO HI-SPEED and METTLER TOLEDO SAFELINE are the product inspection experts for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. HI-SPEED checkweighers ensure regulatory compliance, increase pro¬ductivity, and enhance operational excellence. SAFELINE metal detectors and x-ray inspection systems detect solid contaminants and ensure product quality, portion control and package integrity for ultimate brand protection.
