Inspection Technologies for Tablets & Capsules Packaging

Non-destructive seal and leak testing equipment for Tablets & Capsules in multi-cavity blister packs, sachets, and induction sealed bottles


VeriPac 410 for All Low Headspace Packaging

The VeriPac 410 inspection system offers non-destructive seal and leak detection for blister packs, sachets, and pouches with low headspace (suture packs, transdermal product packaging).

  • Applications include blisters, sachets, transdermal patch packaging, suture packs
  • Vacuum decay and force decay measurement technology

Multi-cavity blister packs and low headspace packaging use a variety of test methods to determine package integrity, with most being destructive, subjective, and unreliable.

The VeriPac 410 utilizes a combination of vacuum decay technology and force decay measurement to identify defective packages. Multiple packages can be tested in a single test cycle, and the 410 identifies which package or cavity is defective. Test results are quantitative and provide operators with a definitive pass/fail, eliminating the subjective and destructive nature of current test methods.

Package quality assurance is achieved by deploying accurate, reliable non-destructive inspection methods, removing subjectivity from the testing process while reducing waste. The VeriPac 410 allows the tested product to be returned to the production line and eliminates the significant costs and waste associated with destructive leak test methods.

Benefits

  • Non-destructive, non-invasive, no sample preparation
  • Accurate and repeatable results
  • Test multiple packages in a single test cycle
  • Identifies which package is defective
  • Simplifies the inspection and validation process
  • Supports sustainable packaging initiatives
  • ASTM test method and FDA standard
  • Cost-effective with a rapid return on investment

Inspection Criteria

  • Leak detection and seal integrity testing of the entire package
  • Test sensitivity down to 15 microns

Inspection Criteria

  • Measures seal integrity of the entire container or package
  • Measures and verifies container closure integrity
 

Helium Leak Testing

Due to the extreme sensitivity provided, a helium-based test method for verifying the integrity of a blister card holding drug product has been proven to be the most effective approach. The test method detects helium that has been sealed in the package system as it escapes through micro-channels in the package. The package is first put in the test fixture, after which a vacuum is swiftly drawn. Helium escapes through potential holes or cracks in the package as a result of the pressure differential.

Any helium gas that escapes from the blister card is quantitatively quantified in the analyzer cell while under vacuum pressure. The typical test cycle time ranges from 20 to 60 seconds. The test chamber is evacuated to the atmosphere when the test cycle is finished and the measurement is recorded so that a new sample can be tested. Each card's helium concentration value is determined using the LDA HSAM helium concentration device, once testing has been completed for all samples in the given set. Since the helium leak rate is normalized to 100% using this procedure, any test samples throughout the production line setup or the package materials in use may be directly compared.
