Insights On Pharmaceutical Inspection

1. Dual-Lane Checkweigher Provides High-Throughput Tube Line Automation Inspection 6/15/2020

   Teligent produces a diverse range of generic prescription topical and injectable pharmaceuticals. To automate inspection on their high-throughput tube line, they turned to a checkweigher with a two-lane configuration that matches their dual-lane filler.

2. Versatile Pharmaceutical Weighing Platform That Provides High Accuracy And Throughput 11/23/2020

   This video demonstrates the C3570 checkweigher system's extremely high weighing accuracy (from +/- 10 mg) on packages from 3g to 10kg. It is capable of running up to 600 packs per minute with product handling variants including side-grip conveyors, top and bottom conveyors, infeed timing screws and star-wheels which ensure smooth product flow.

3. OEE And Product Inspection Efficiency In The Pharmaceutical Industry 6/4/2020

   Few industries are as heavily regulated as the pharmaceutical industry, as poor quality or otherwise defective pharmaceutical products can potentially have fatal results for end users. Manufacturers must perform a careful balancing act: weighing pressure to improve production speeds against the need to ensure compliance with government regulations. The purpose of this white paper is to provide an overview of the various components that go into measuring OEE, a method of obtaining a complete view of the efficiency of a production process, and then to discuss the ways in which product inspection equipment can affect OEE in the pharmaceutical industry.

4. Seal-Sensor Airborne Ultrasonic Technology 7/9/2020

   Seal-Sensor™ is an Airborne Ultrasonic Technology that inspects pouch seals non-destructively 100% online for defects. Seal-Sensor detects incomplete seals, partial or weak areas in seals, and common seal defects that affect product quality and shelf-life.

5. Test Method Development, Experimental Design And Positive Controls For Package Integrity 4/9/2020

   Given that the experimental design has only two conditions, leaking and non-leaking, this variable is extremely important to understand. Proper use of positive controls and knowledge of how alternative approaches are applied to challenge a test method support the validity and reliability of the method.

6. Contract Pharmacal Corporation Installs X-Ray Inspection And Checkweighers For Brand Protection And Quality 5/12/2020

   CPC develops, manufacturers and packages premium pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements. Since five of their lines package product in a foil-laminated film, which disrupts traditional metal detector, they need to implement x-ray systems for those lines.

7. Package Inspection Guidelines For Sterile Medical Products 4/9/2020

   Class III medical devices have a unique set of requirements and package characteristics that need a comprehensive approach to selecting the right inspection methods. A variety of inspection methods exist for medical package inspection that require a thorough understanding to ensure quality.

8. CCI For Combination Products: Assembling The Package Integrity Profile For Autoinjectors 4/20/2020

   Due to their complexity, combination products, specifically autoinjection systems, present unique challenges in implementing a container closure integrity (CCI) testing strategy. This is further complicated by a pervasive, though diminishing, tendency for companies to consider CCI only at the final product-package lifecycle stage, an approach where combination products will highlight the pitfalls.

9. Container Closure Integrity Testing: The Importance Of Sensitivity, Automation And Efficiency 4/6/2020

   This article will explore the need for sensitive, reliable, and automated container closure integrity (CCI) testing technologies, and how existing deterministic solutions can help achieve optimum quality assurance goals in CCI for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

10. Important Considerations When Evaluating Manual vs. Automated Vision Inspection Systems 3/31/2020

    This webinar takes a look at the pros and cons of manual visual inspection. Join us in taking a deeper dive into this probabilistic test method.
