A world first in automated, tool-less and non-destructive leak-detection devices for pharmaceutical blister packs made its first appearance at the chemical processing show, Achema last month (June). Called VisionScan Max, the machine has been developed by the award winning pharma-machinery innovator, Sepha Ltd. By offering the capability to leak test full production batches of blister-packs with minimal operator input, the company says the new machine gives pharmaceutical manufacturers the ability to deliver significant quality improvements and cost savings during production. VisionScan Max has been designed to integrate with blister production lines via automated ‘pick and place’ technologies to further enhance automation on production lines and minimize operator requirements, or operate as a stand-alone unit.
VisionScan Max is part of Sepha’s continual drive to help customers improve efficiencies and increase product assurance/integrity levels explained Paul Kelly, Sepha’s Head of Sales & Marketing. “VisionScan Max is the natural evolution of our highly successful VisionScan product launched just three years ago. VisionScan has already been validated by 7 of the top 10 global pharma companies and VisionScan Max uses the same inspection technologies with faster test times to meet the needs of customers who want the ability to test higher volumes of packs non-destructively as part of their quality assurance procedures whilst removing costly operator test times,”
VisionScan Max gives the capability to test up to 600 packs per hour at accuracy levels of 15 micron with minimal operator input or requirements and giving repeatable objective pass and fail results. The operator loads a magazine of blisters into the unit, the unit automatically runs the tests, and sorts product into segregated pass and fail containers. VisionScan Max is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant and also features a new user friendly HMI interface, with 2 click functionality enabling operators to access any menu in a maximum of 2 clicks.
Based in the UK, Sepha Ltd. is part of the US TASI Group of Companies, and is at the forefront of leak detection technology used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical blister packs, medical device and healthcare products. Its award-winning devices are fast becoming the global standard with the majority of the world’s top pharmaceutical companies helping to reduce production costs, improve efficiencies and verify the integrity of the products.
