In modern pharmaceutical production, product quality and safety are crucial for a company's market survival. With the continuous improvement of GMP standards and international drug safety regulations, Capsule Metal Detectors have become indispensable equipment in pharmaceutical production lines. They can efficiently detect metallic foreign objects mixed in capsules, tablets, and granules, ensuring the purity and safety of pharmaceuticals.
I. Working Principle of Capsule Metal Detectors
Capsule Metal Detectors primarily utilize electromagnetic induction technology. When a capsule passes through the detection channel, any metallic impurities (including ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel particles) will cause a change in the electromagnetic field. The machine system immediately identifies this and sends a signal, automatically removing unqualified products from the production line via a pneumatic rejection device, thus ensuring the safety and consistency of every capsule.
II. Main Features and Advantages
1. High Sensitivity Detection: Capable of detecting extremely small metal fragments, suitable for capsules, tablets, and granules.
2. Intelligent Touchscreen Operation: Utilizes a user-friendly HMI interface, supports multiple language settings, and offers intuitive and convenient operation.
3. Automatic Rejection System: Rapid response, non-destructive rejection, ensuring continuous and stable detection.
4. GMP-compliant design: The entire machine is made of stainless steel with a smooth surface, facilitating cleaning and maintenance.
5. Abundant communication interfaces: Seamlessly integrates with host computer, PLC, or MES systems for easy data traceability and production management.
III. Application Areas
Capsule metal detectors are widely used in:
Pharmaceutical capsule and tablet production lines
Health product and nutritional supplement manufacturing
Food, cosmetic, and traditional Chinese medicine preparation production workshops
IV. Enterprise Quality Management and Compliance Assurance
With increasingly stringent international market regulations on pharmaceutical quality, pharmaceutical companies must ensure traceable detection and recording of metal foreign objects throughout the entire production process. The application of capsule metal detectors not only enhances product safety but also helps companies obtain international certifications such as GMP, FDA, and CE, laying a solid foundation for pharmaceutical exports and brand reputation.
