Automated Inspection System for Softgel Capsules Operates At High Production Speeds
The Optyx® SG, an optical inspection system for softgels automatically inspects each softgel capsule at high production speeds and identifies and removes defective softgels and foreign capsules from the product stream. The unit verifies product color, size, and shape to assure every softgel capsule conforms to product specifications. With ultra-high resolution 0.17 mm square pixels, Optyx SG reliably detects and removes foreign capsules as well as the smallest color and shape defects, including air bubbles, stained capsules and misshapen product. As product passes through the system, it is launched off the end of the Optyx belt for in-air viewing by the cameras. Using proprietary image processing technology, the system quickly analyses the images, comparing each object to previously defined accept/reject standards. When defective product or foreign capsules are identified, the system activates the close-coupled high-speed ejector system, which is made up of a series of air jets spaced 6 mm apart that span the width of the system. While the defective object is still air-borne, the air jets pinpoint the object to remove it from the acceptable product stream. The Optyx SG can inspect up to 900,000 softgel capsules per hour.
