The SPECTRA Bulk QI Inspection system is developed for the detection of wrong colour, broken products and foreign matter in pharmaceutical products packaged in bulk. For this application, the product inspections SPECTRA Colour or SPECTRA High Resolution can be used, either as single or multiple camera solution. This solution can operate on all common slat counters. The quality inspection is continuous right through to the rejection station.
For this application, the new software architecture QI has been implemented which enables extremely high inspection speeds.

■Advantages of the Bulk Application
The bulk application is carried out with a high-speed inspection of more than 1 million products per hour and performs detailed defect detection with a multi-camera solution. The high-resolution SPECTRA Bulk QI can be used on all common tablet counting machines (slat counters) and on all common counting machines (ETC) with vibration feed. The use on large machine widths can be inspected.
SPECTRA Bulk QI supports the following production modes: ejection of individual products, ejection of bottles after filling, and manual removal of bad products.
Up to 48 vibration channels can be inspected. With this application, detection of foreign products, fragments and foreign bodies can be accomplished. In addition, this solution offers position-accurate evaluation for individual ejections.
