Blow fill seal infusion bottle inspection
HEUFT spotter II BFSB
A 100% all-round inspection and integrity testing of pharmaceutical blow fill seal infusion bottles based on the HEUFT SPECTRUM II.
The HEUFT spotter II BFSB achieves full coverage and full detection reliability during the all-round inspection and integrity testing of every single infusion bottle produced using the blow fill seal method even in high-speed operation. The compact linear system identifies deviations in the fill quantity and colour of the products contained such as saline, electrolyte or glucose solutions just as reliably as deformations, missing or excess packaging components, soiling, scratches, scores, inclusions, leaks and cosmetic defects in the container material.
Closure inspection
Ensure closure integrity: Top-down and all-around inspection.
Missing, misaligned and deformed closures, material shortages and excesses in this area: the HEUFT spotter II BFSB detects all this during the top-down inspection of blow fill seal infusion bottles with smart LED illumination and specially adapted camera, image filtering and subtraction technologies. For an even more detailed inspection of closure integrity, an additional detection module can be integrated that performs a complete 360° inspection of the entire closure area to even more reliably detect chipping, scores, scratches, black spots, soiling and cosmetic defects on the closure wall, deformed and misaligned closure ports, incomplete or even protruding or torn sealing foils.
Sidewall inspection
Covering everything: complete inspection of the BFS bottle body.
Damage, contamination, cosmetic defects, foreign particles and fill level deviations: A full coverage inspection of the side walls of blow fill seal ampoules is essential in order to find such faults everywhere. The HEUFT spotter II BFSB realises this with sophisticated opto-mechanics and intelligent LED adaptive lighting in order to identify all critical faults regardless of their position and location. With the aid of a rectilinear frontal view of the upper body area of each individual infusion bottle especially underfills as well as overfills and particles floating on the fill line become even more clearly visible in addition to cosmetic defects.
Base inspection
Seeing to the ground: Bottom-up inspection for full detection reliability.
Foreign particles, inclusions, impurities and damage: To find such defects in every case, the full-cover sidewall inspection down to the bottom edge is not always sufficient. Additional safety is therefore provided by another high-performance camera that scans the bottom of the container. Especially foreign particles that have sunk to the bottom of the container, but also black spots trapped in the base, contamination and deformations of this area as well as, for example, defective infusion bottle hangers are reliably identified with this camera. Together with the full-coverage sidewall inspection, this ensures that the entire base area – including its underside – is inspected without blind spots.
Leakage inspection
Finding leaks: Visual inspection and internal pressure measurement.
Leakages, cracks, leaks: already during the camera-based cap, side wall and base inspection of pharmaceutical blow fill seal ampoules, such leaks are immediately noticeable in most cases. Even more safety is provided by an additional leakage check. For this purpose, the containers are guided in a belt drive that exerts a precisely definable force on them. Special sensors measure their internal pressure twice so that – independent of the electrical conductivity of the product contained – a drop in pressure caused by leaks can be reliably detected. Even the smallest leaks can be reliably detected with the help of this pressure difference method.
Rechazo de defectos
Disminución de reclamos: el rechazo fiable de envases defectuosos
Rápido, cuidadoso y riguroso: Una elevada precisión es posible, sólo si el producto defectuoso es retirado inmediatamente después de la detección del fallo. Esto lo consigue los rechazos con un único segmento o los sistemas multisegmentos de rechazos pertenecientes a HEUFT.
Simple brand changes
Automatic changeover: Servo-controlled adjustment of the detection and transport units.
Automatic, fast, simple: as is usual with systems based on the HEUFT SPECTRUM II platform trigger photoelectric sensors, cameras, lighting units and transport devices adjust themselves fully automatically to different sizes and types of blow fill seal ampoules. Programme and format changes can thus be carried out without tools and without any human intervention. This not only saves time, but also money: efficiency and productivity losses due to lengthy changeover times are sustainably reduced.

Network technologies
Simply capturing everything: Network connectivity for performance analysis and audit trail documentation.
Computer-aided systems for the packing and quality assurance of pharmaceuticals must fulfil strict requirements and documentation obligations. This is another reason why HEUFT devices are network-capable. With user-related access rights and a detailed audit trail log of all operating and process information they fulfil the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.

Linear construction
Running in a linear way: Compact straight-through system.
In addition to its functionality and automation the HEUFT HEUFT spotter II BFSA is above all distinguished by its consistent linear operation. In contrast to complex rotary machines it needs neither a container carousel nor star wheels, centring bells, grippers or format parts. This makes it extremely compact, enables fully automatic type and product changeovers and reduces storage costs. With the highest possible throughput, it is also ensured that the sensitive BFS containers are handled gently. After all, they are supposed to detect defects instead of producing them themselves. Specially designed conveyors ensure gentle handling of the space-saving straight runner.

HEUFT rejector
Sorting out faulty BFS containers: Accurate rejection.
Targeted, safe, reliable: Different single or multi-segment rejection systems can be connected to the HEUFT spotter II BFSB in order to remove individual or bundled blow fill seal ampoules or infusion bottles which have been detected as faulty from circulation in good time. They consistently remove pharmaceutical blow fill seal ampoules with safety and quality defects from the production flow so that only faultless ones reach the patient.
