Principle of action of visual inspection machine:
Visual inspection machine is produced as a workbench with possible attachment of loading transporter.
Glass ampoules and vials are fed to the machine in cassettes. Loading disc loads ampoules to band conveyors. Special mechanism installed in the machine spins vials at high rate thus forming swirl in the fluid and resulting in surfacing of impurities. Then vials and ampoules pass through the light screen so that floating impurities are illuminated and are clearly visible for machine operator located right in front of screen.
When rejected ampoules and vials are detected, operator marks them and performs sorting and unloading in automatic mode. Rejected vials and ampoules are sent to appropriate tray while valid ones are delivered to the cassette.
Feature of QUARCO PHARM & MEDICAL EQUIPMENT visual inspection machines:
- High performance of viewing and inspection: Operator’s job consists of detecting and rejecting of ampoules of vials of inappropriate quality, machine performs other functions automatically. Moreover, the presence of reflecting mirror and loupe in the machine increases effectiveness of viewing and inspection;
- Machine may work with a wide range of vessel columns, that is from 0.5 to 1,000 ml penicillin vials , infusion bottles, cartridges and pre-filled syringes;
- Machine may work with a wide range of different products: solutions, PW (purified water) and WFI (water for injections), liquid antibiotics, suspensions, eye drops and liquid products, diagnostic liquids;
- Vials and ampoules are checked for various types of defects: particulate matter, manufacture defects of the vessel itself, vessel cracks;
- Use of black light screen provides concentrated illumination so that particulate matter is apparent at increased contrast due to Tindal effect and thus may be easily detected by machine operator;
- Feeding rate and vial rotation speed are adjusted for optimal and convenient machine working mode;
- Temperature, illumination intensity and angle are adjusted for better light control;
- Presence of automatic control system facilitates setting of various inspection parameters;
- Calculating function may be used both for total product amount and for amount of rejected and valid product;
- Machine design provides unimpeded access to all units and parts, easy setting, cleaning and maintenance;
- QUARCO visual inspection machines may be produced for work in manual and semiautomatic mode. In the latter case, industrial controller PLC Mitsubishi, Japan and engineering panel (Touch Screen) Digital, Japan (both have IP44 protection class) control the paths of valid and rejected products (by operator instructions) and operate effector mechanisms;
- Case of QUARCO visual inspecting machine is made of stainless steel AISI304;
- All family of QUARCO PHARM & MEDICAL EQUIPMENT visual inspection machines fully complies with GMP standard and ЕС electric safety regulations.
