Sepha to Unveil New Non-Destructive Multi-Bottle Leak & Seal Tester for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Belfast-based pharmaceutical packaging integrity expert, Sepha Ltd, in conjunction with their distributor in North America, Service Industries, will launch BottleScan, the world’s first tool-less, non-destructive, multi-bottle integrity tester for induction-sealed pharmaceutical bottles, at Pack Expo, Las Vegas on 23rd September 2013.
BottleScan which has been designed, developed and manufactured at Sepha’s UK headquarters, uses force decay technology to detect weak seals and defects down to 15 microns. It has a tool-less design and can test up to 4 bottles simultaneously in a quick test cycle of approximately 60 seconds. The system produces objective ‘PASS/FAIL’ results enabling good bottles to be returned to the production line. BottleScan has the ability to run in compliance with 21CFR Part 11, offering pharmaceutical manufacturers and packagers a more technologically advanced, accurate and efficient solution for testing the integrity of induction-sealed bottles.
