An Ampoule Vial Inspection Machine is specialized pharmaceutical equipment designed to automatically inspect sealed ampoules (small glass containers for single-dose liquids) and vials (small bottles for injectable drugs) for defects. These machines ensure product quality and patient safety by detecting issues in injectable products, where contamination or defects can be critical.

Key Purposes and Inspections
Ampoule Vial Inspection Machine primarily check for:
-
Particulate matter: Floating particles (e.g., glass, rubber, fibers) in the liquid.
-
Cosmetic defects: Cracks, scratches, or irregularities on the container.
-
Fill level: Over- or under-filling.
-
Container integrity: Leaks, pinholes (using high-voltage detection in some models), or improper sealing/crimping.
-
Other issues: Tip defects in ampoules, cake quality in lyophilized (freeze-dried) products, or opacity in suspensions/viscous liquids.
They are essential in sterile pharmaceutical production lines to comply with strict regulations like GMP.

Process Operation of Ampoule Inspection Machine
Ampoules are loaded on to an inspection table out of trays. The ampoules are manually pushed on to an inclined infeed conveyor belt of sufficiently large capacity. Ampoules are picked up by a starwheel and fed to a revolving inspection drum consisting of two spinning stations and two inspection stations. Two ampoules are inspected at a time at the inspection station 1. Its status is recorded. The same ampoules are again inspected at the next inspection station 2. The ampoules then exit the inspection drum and are picked up by a starwheel and transfered to a linear screw. A sorter automatically separates the good and bad ampoules into individual outfeed hoppers.
