Capsule Metal Detector

Product Overview

 

The VT-CM70 Capsule and Tablet Metal Detector is a dedicated pharmaceutical-grade metal inspection system designed for installation upstream of blister packaging and bottling lines. Utilizing advanced digital signal processing and multi-frequency detection technology, this metal detector identifies and rejects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel metal contaminants embedded in or mixed with solid dosage products including tablets, hard and soft gelatin capsules, pellets, and pills. With a detection sensitivity as fine as Φ0.4mm for iron and Φ0.6mm for stainless steel, the VT-CM70 Capsule and Tablet Metal Detector enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to meet the strictest GMP requirements for foreign body control and protects consumers from potentially hazardous metal contamination in finished drug products.

Engineered specifically for the unique demands of pharmaceutical production, the VT-CM70 Capsule and Tablet Metal Detector features a vertical gravity-feed chute design optimized for free-flowing solid dosage forms. Product enters through a Φ76mm inlet at an adjustable height of 770–930mm and passes through the detection coil at a rate of up to 500,000 pieces per hour - making it suitable for high-speed tablet press and capsule filler discharge. When metal contamination is detected, the integrated flip-plate rejection mechanism diverts the suspect product segment into a lockable rejection container without halting production. All product-contact surfaces are constructed from food-grade and pharmaceutical-compatible materials, with smooth, crevice-free surfaces that prevent product buildup and enable thorough cleaning and sanitization between production runs.

The VT-CM70 Capsule and Tablet Metal Detector employs fully digital processing with automatic product compensation to minimize false rejects caused by product effect - a common challenge when inspecting coated tablets or capsule formulations with metallic pigment ingredients. The system stores up to 100 product recipes, allowing rapid recall of optimized detection parameters when switching between different tablet or capsule formulations. This significantly reduces changeover downtime and eliminates operator-to-operator variability in sensitivity setup. The intuitive control interface provides real-time detection status, event logging, and production statistics, supporting quality assurance documentation requirements for regulatory audits. The detector operates on universal power supply (220V/110V, 50/60Hz) for compatibility with electrical standards across North America, the EU, and Southeast Asian manufacturing regions.
