Switch 75 – Small Batch Inspection For Vials And Syringes On One Machine

The shift towards smaller batch sizes is redefining the standards for parenteral inspection. Whether due to country-specific regulations, drugs to treat rare diseases, or high-value, low-volume products, this trend towards small batches presents a significant challenge in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.

Production for small batches may involve filling vials in the morning and syringes in the afternoon. Filling lines adapt to accommodate different formats, and inspection processes must do the same. Traditional high-performance inspection machines are often too large and lack the necessary flexibility to achieve this. Until now, inspecting vials and syringes has required two separate machines.

The increasing need for specialized drugs is driving changes in production, resulting in more compact and flexible filling lines. The Switch 75 provides a high-quality inspection solution for small batches of both syringes and vials using a single machine, seamlessly integrating with efficient upstream line filling processes.
