Pharmaceutical X-ray Inspection Systems

Advanced Pharmaceutical X-Ray Inspection Systems

Ensure absolute product safety, packaging integrity, and compliance with stringent industry standards. Vista Visual’s X-ray inspection technologies for the pharmaceutical industry go beyond simple contaminant detection. We safeguard your brand by verifying the completeness of blister packs, detecting broken tablets, and ensuring every carton contains its essential package leaflet.

Comprehensive Pharmaceutical Quality Control

Physical Contaminant Detection

Reliable detection of high-density contaminants regardless of packaging material (including aluminum foil).

✓ Metal Shavings: Stainless steel or iron from cutting tools and sieves.
✓ Glass & Ceramic: Fragments from broken vials or lab equipment.
✓ Stones & Mineral Inclusions: Natural contaminants in raw nutraceutical ingredients (e.g., herbal extracts).
✓ Dense Plastics & Rubber: Particles from equipment wear and conveyor belts.

Packaging Integrity & Component Checks

Perform simultaneous quality checks to ensure flawless end-products.

✓ Missing & Broken Pills: Count tablets and identify fractured capsules inside sealed blister packs or bottles.
✓ Leaflet & Component Verification: Verify the presence of instruction leaflets or measuring spoons inside closed cartons.
✓ Fill Level Inspection: Ensure correct liquid or powder levels in bottles and sachets.
✓ Seal Trapped Contaminants: Detect product caught in the seals of sachets or pouches to prevent contamination.

Missing & Broken Pill Detection

Reliably count tablets and capsules inside sealed aluminum blister packs. Automatically reject incomplete, fractured, or undersized products before they reach the consumer.

01

Ignore Foil Packaging

Unlike traditional metal detectors, our X-ray technology easily inspects through metallized films and foil-backed packaging to find microscopic metal, glass, and dense plastics.

02

Component & Leaflet Verification

Beyond contaminants, verify the presence of essential components such as instruction leaflets, measuring spoons, or desiccant packets inside closed cartons.

03

ENSURING PHARMACEUTICAL SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE

Key Inspection Requirements:

Detect foreign bodies including metal, glass, ceramic, and dense plastics
Verify accurate fill levels and exact product counts
Identify missing, chipped, or broken tablets and capsules
Check seal integrity and ensure flawless blister packaging

REAL-WORLD APPLICATION EXAMPLES

Blister Pack & Small Pouches: Identify broken tablets, half-tablets, or empty pockets directly through aluminum foil backing at high line speeds without false rejects.
Bulk & Packaged Products (Up to 5kg): Reliably inspect single-serve protein powder sachets, cartons, and heavy bags up to 5kg for minute metal shavings and dense plastic fragments caused by equipment wear.
Bottle Count Verification: Verify exact capsule counts inside sealed plastic bottles and confirm the presence of required desiccant packets or instruction leaflets.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will the X-ray system slow down my packaging line production speed?

Not at all. Vista Visual's systems support high-speed processing lines with a maximum conveyor belt speed of up to 60m/min (adjustable), ensuring seamless inline integration without sacrificing productivity.

What is the false reject rate of your X-ray inspection equipment?

Even under high-speed operation, our intelligent detection algorithms restrict the false reject rate to below 1%. The exact accuracy varies depending on product density and your specific inspection precision requirements.
