The only solution on the market dedicated to the inspection of freeze-dried vials in a sterile environment, the Raised Stopper Inspection (RSI) is equipped with a high-performance camera system and manages the area between capping and capping, previously uncontrolled in pharmaceutical primary packaging.
Antares vision group, Italian leader in traceability, product protection, visual inspection, tracking solutions and intelligent data management and located in France in Lyon (69), participated for the5th consecutive year in Pharmapack, a European pharmaceutical packaging exhibition that took place at Paris Expo – Porte de Versailles on 18 & 19 May 2022.
The opportunity for Antares vision group to present on its stand C38 Hall 7.2 the Raised Stopper Inspection, innovative solution for the detection of industrial errors in the capping of vials in a sterile environment.
IHR reduces the risk of air inlet and contamination
Developed to acclimatize to sterile Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) environments, Raised Stopper Inspection has the following actions:
- Detect the space between the cervix and the base of the bottle cap;
- Reject those whose caps do not fully adhere to the bottle collars, such as inclined caps, in wrong positions, missing or damaged.
The risks of air inlet and contamination are then reduced and in case of repeated faults, the machine provides immediate feedback to pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Raised Stopper Inspection technology is part of Antares vision's track & trace solutions.
It makes it possible to manage the area between capping and capping, previously uncontrolled in pharmaceutical primary packaging.
Raised Stopper Inspection lends itself to the development of new vision applications in sterile and non-sterile pharmaceutical operations.
Compact (total length of 760 mm) and autonomous, specifically designed for detections in sterile environments, Raised Stopper Inspection integrates both on existing lines and on new lines.
RSI is at the service of performance
- Inspection speed: up to 30 units/min.
- Compatibility with a wide range of vials, from 10 to 300 ml, and caps, from 20 to 32mm.
- Quick format change: 15 minutes is enough!
