RC

The Semi-automatic Inspection Machine helps the operator in the visual inspection of ampoules, vials, and syringes filled with liquid, powder, or lyophilized.

Functioning

The great number of options and possible layouts due to the traditional Convel modular design, the smooth and silent movement, the user-friendly interface, and many glare-free illuminations make RC the best method to overcome the tedious and slow manual control performed by the operators. The containers are transported by a set of rollers tilted at the most suitable angle. Containers are rotated on their axis to allow the operator to inspect all the 360° of the surface with the help of high optical quality lenses and mirrors.

In the case of liquid products, containers are fastly spun before inspection to twirl particles. Rejection can be manual or automatic through an infrared ray barrier.
