Mettler Toledo Safeline has introduced the Pharma GF - a gravity fall metal detector with high sensitivity for the inspection of free-flowing pharmaceutical and nutraceutical powders.
The Pharma GF maintains high inspection standards on bulk powder material, identifying all types of metal contamination including ferrous, non-ferrous, and all grades of stainless steel.
Optimal performance is ensured with the self-check capability that continuously monitors sensitivity and sounds an alarm if a problem occurs.
A separate alarm is activated if the reject fails to respond within a preset time, maximising uptime.
The Pharma GF is designed and built to comply with 21 CFR parts 210 and 211, FDA, and GMP standards.
The system's performance-validation routine allows users to confirm that it is tested by qualified personnel with documented test standards at agreed time intervals.
The Pharma GF's high-speed diverter reject, constructed of mirror-polished stainless steel, minimises product loss during contaminant removal, therefore maximising profits.
The detector identifies and eliminates contamination regardless of the product volume or flow rate to fully protect products.
The system has a user-friendly interface and its compact design fits easily under feed hoppers in the milling room or at the discharge of bulk feed conveyors for easy integration into tight spaces.
A variety of aperture sizes are available to accommodate volume throughput of up to 2,250lb/h.
Mettler Toledo Safeline offers a portfolio of support including start-up assistance, employee training, maintenance programmes, 24/7 telephone support, radiological services and documentation packages.
