Pharmaceutical Metal Detector

Tablet Metal Detector (Pharmaceutical)
Anritsu Tablet Metal Detector (Pharmaceutical) detects metal contaminants in capsules and tablets.

Achieve advanced quality control

Industry Leading Level^* High Sensitivity Inspection
Detection head and signal processing specialised for the inspection of pharmaceutical products significantly reduce product effect, providing high sensitivity detection. For most tablets and capsules, no setting using sample products before the inspection is required. No complicated adjustments are required for achieving high detection sensitivity. Even those tablets and capsules containing hard-to-inspect ingredients such as iron content can be adjusted to optimum sensitivity by feeding a product only once.
^* According to an in-house research

High Stability Supports Efficient Detection of Contaminants
The major causes of lower stability in metal detection are vibration, static electricity, and electrical noise from peripheral devices that destabilise the magnetic fields in detection heads. Anritsu Pharmaceutical Metal Detector enhances resistance to these negative factors, achieving stable and accurate detection of contaminants.

Tool Free Part Removal
Parts that are in direct contact with pharmaceutical products such as a feeding chute, a rejection box, and an NG bottle can be easily removed and attached without tools.

Duplex monitoring system for rejection gate operation
A rejection unit is equipped with a position sensor on both PASS and NG sides to perform position check at the time of starting the machine and detecting contaminants. The failsafe design enables the rejection unit to hold at the NG direction at the time of non electric conduction and occurrence of abnormality, preventing false rejection of faulty products as well as any product that does not satisfy the evaluation criteria to the PASS direction.

Supporting FDA 21 CFR Part 11
It is vital for pharmaceutical metal detectors to manage and record production and inspection data, not to speak of performing high precision inspection. Anritsu Pharmaceutical Metal Detector complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, including eligibility user authentication, audit trails, and data encryption/decryption.

Benefits

The M6-h Tablet Metal Detector is equipped with a detection head and signal processing engineered for pharmaceutical applications. Furthermore, the structure is designed to minimise the negative effect on detection performance of static electricity of tablets and capsules, as well as vibration and inverter noise from nearby equipment. The result is a highly specialised machine that provides outstanding detection of metal contaminants with very few adjustments and almost no need to use sample products during configuration. The sensitivity of the Tablet Metal Detector can determine whether the contaminant is magnetic or non-magnetic without a time-consuming breaking test on tablets and capsules. A position sensor on the rejection unit prevents false rejects as well as defective products from slipping into downstream equipment.
