Cosmetic and Dimension Inspection of Tubular Vials

The dimension & cosmetic examination of empty Tubular Glass vials is a vital process in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure that they meet industry standards before filling. This usually encompasses several checks as follows:

1. Clarity and cleanliness: Ensuring that the vials are free from particles, dust or other impurities on these vials. Glass Particles are a critical defect, and vials should be free of such particles which can enter the human blood stream.

2. Surface Quality: Checking for scratches, cracks, chips, or any type of defects on the surface of the vial. Scratches can reduce the strength of the vial and can lead of breakages either during the filling process or even after during use by a medical practitioner.

3. Form & Dimension: It is essential to verify the dimensions and shapes against what has been specified by the customer, so that they can be uniform and fit for their washing, sterilizing and filling equipment.

4. Sealing Surface Quality, the neck and rim sections should be free from defects, such as cracks and fractures that may compromise the integrity of the vial during stoppering and crimping application post filling.

5. Inspection on Base & Side Wall: Such checks go through the bottom as well as side walls whereby bubbles, and inclusions among others arechecked if available using camera systems.

At Kapoor Glass, each and every tubular glass vialsis inspected for Dimensional defects during the production process itself using sophisticated cameras and speciality illumination techniques. Non-Conforming products are rejected by the system automatically.

Cosmetic quality is also ensured using multiple area scan and line scan cameras to scan the surface of every vial product to weed out various defects such as Glass Particles, Black and Red spots, cracks and also Airlines present in the raw material itself.

Automated systems together with manual inspections perform these checks using high-resolution cameras and sensors. Proper documentation while ensuring adherence to quality standards and regulations are crucial throughout the inspection process.
