PTI Packaging Technologies and Inspection
VeriPac LPXFully automated package quality inspection systems for 100% inline testing.
The VeriPac LPX Series is PTI’s line of fully automated package quality inspection systems for 100% inline testing. The LPX enables enhanced automated testing that provides a high level of confidence in packaging line performance. The LPX is a practical and reliable solution to the problems associated with performing infrequent testing, allowing for process-related quality issues to be recognized and corrected sooner rather than later.
The VeriPac LPX features a dynamic robotic design, tailored to fit your production requirements. The LPX Series are scalable, modular solutions to meet production line demands. This adaptable platform provides reliable automated handling of a variety of packaging formats. Applications for LPX automation range from flexible packaging to rigid containers, and parenteral products.
Vacuum decay is a deterministic method to provide reproducible and reliable results for leak testing of high-risk package applications. It can be applied to a wide variety of package formats and product types. The test involves placing a package in a test chamber, applying vacuum, and monitoring the vacuum level for any change, which would indicate the presence of a leak. Test chambers are configured according to package specifications, test sensitivity and handling requirements.
The VeriPac LPX is modular providing the flexibility and versatility of easy changeover for testing different size packages on the same system. Sensitivity and reliability go hand in hand with CCI testing. The VeriPac LPX 430.8S is the next generation automated inspection system for container closure integrity testing of parenteral products. Automated for 100% testing or batch release, the VeriPac 430.8S is an eight-station dual chamber design robotic testing platform for pre-filled syringes and vials, testing products filled with lyophilized product, small molecule liquids and Water for Injection (WFI).
