Lock unveils CFR Part 11 solutions
Inspection equipment manufacturer Lock is displaying some of its most advanced equipment for the pharmaceutical industry at this year's Achema exhibition. As CFR Part 11 places manufacturers under increasing pressure, Lock has collaborated with industry experts to develop metal detection systems which enable full compliance. Lock's MET 30+ pharmaceutical unit and vertical fall system, both on show at Achema, can now deliver highly accurate inspection of tablets, capsules and granules while at the same time meeting the electronic signatures requirements of the FDA.
The most sensitive in Lock's MET 30+ range of metal detectors, the pharmaceutical unit, constructed throughout in stainless steel, provides accurate detection of contaminants in pharmaceutical products. Advanced electronics mean that microscopic foreign bodies in production lines can be detected and rejected, at speeds of up to 30,000 tablets per minute. The unit can be fitted with Lock's touchscreen interface, a user-friendly panel for viewing metal detector data on-screen rather than from a PC. This added feature uses Lock's ADC software and enhances the performance of the detector, making it easier to identify and resolve problem areas and simplify data analysis.
The MET 30+ vertical fall metal detector is positioned earlier in the production process to inspect incoming raw materials or formulations in granular or bulk powder form. This removes all unwanted metal contaminants and achieves sensitivity levels of 0.5mm for stainless steel and 0.3mm for ferrous metals.
