The metal detector system in Pharmaceutical segment is widely used for detecting external metallic contamination in Tablets / Capsules.
The system for Tablets can be used in combination with a vertical deduster system, which is a specially designed high end equipment to remove the powder deposited on the tablets. The equipment is placed at the discharge of compression machine. Tablets are passed through the vertical deduster initially. The output of the deduster is fed to a metal detector unit, which checks for the external metal contamination in the Tablets.
The metal detector system can also be used for capsule line. Normally, the system is placed after capsule polisher. However, due to space constraint, sometimes, the Metal Detection unit is placed after filling and before polishing.
On occurrence of metal contamination in the product, the actuation of rejection mechanism initiates and tablets / capsules are isolated / segregated from the main stream. The rejected tablets / capsules are collected in the collection bin provided with the system and good tablets / capsules are collected in the container, placed at the discharge.
