Antares Vision, global provider of visual inspection systems, track-and-trace solutions and smart data management, has developed a new Raised Stopper Inspection (RSI) machine to verify proper sealing of freeze-dried vials. Functioning as a standalone machine, the RSI is designed for installation in A-Grade-A cleanrooms and operates via laminar air flow (LAF).
With an overall length of just 76cm, the first-of-its-kind RSI Machine is easily installed in existing lines. To identify stoppers not wholly adhered to the vial collar, the machine features a 1mm detection threshold and can inspect up to 300 units/min. The module is compatible with a wide array of vials, spanning from 10-300 ml with a 20-32 mm cap range.
