Quality control is not just about checking the finished batch. It also involves choosing appropriate inspection and verification steps throughout manufacturing and packaging. Depending on the product and process, manufacturers may need to consider six areas.
1. Tablet and capsule visual inspection
Chips, cracks, discolouration, broken capsules and foreign tablets are far easier to remove on the line than to trace in a complaint investigation.
2. Foreign-body detection
Metal contamination can come from wear on presses, punches, sieves and other process equipment. The right detection control depends on the product, process and packaging configuration.
3. Weight verification
Dynamic check weighing helps identify product outside configured weight limits and reject it automatically.
4. Blister packaging inspection
Empty pockets, broken tablets and mixed products in blisters are packaging-stage defects that need packaging-stage inspection.
5. Vial and ampoule inspection
Injectable containers need inspection for visible defects and irregularities, depending on machine configuration.
6. Batch code and OCR verification
Printed batch numbers, expiry dates and codes need to be present, legible and correct. Building the right combination
No single machine covers every point. The right mix depends on your dosage forms, line speeds and where defects are most likely to arise.
Which of these is most relevant to your production line?
