The SPECTRA black-and-white blister inspection verifies a number of product-specific criteria of pharmaceutical products – for example presence, position, area and shape as well as overfilling and broken pieces. The black-and-white system is a cost-effective solution for production lines in the pharmaceutical industry where cross-contamination can be ruled out due to technical conditions, such as on mono lines. Software and hardware can be upgraded to colour blister inspection at any time for colour detection.

■Advantages of scanware Black and White Inspection
The system offers outstanding speed and excellent statistical analysis tools. All parameters used in the system can be applied simultaneously without impacting speed. If the requirements on site change, the system can be upgraded to the SPECTRA colour system at any time.
The black and white inspection can be used for a number of alternative inspection tasks and offers the user much more than a standard application.
Bottle Inspection
During the forming of plastic bottles, the black & white system inspects the correct edges at the bottle opening and the seam at the bottom of the bottle. The flexible mould is cut off at both ends. Several cameras are used to inspect the cut edges before filling.
Pouch Position Inspection
When filling pouches with powder, contamination and improperly sealed pouches occur due to slanted positions.
