What is FDA Metal Detection in Pharma?

Understand how to facilitate FDA compliance with metal detection systems in the pharma industry

Pharmaceutical metal detection systems detect metal contamination in pharma products such as capsules, tablets, and powdered Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) that can happen during manufacturing, and efficiently rejects the contaminated product from the production line.

The accurate and reliable performance of metal detection systems for pharma can help support FDA compliance and can assist with a more efficient process for your pharma and biotech manufacturing.

Our range of FDA metal detection pharma systems can detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and non-magnetic stainless steel metals as small as 0.3 millimeters in diameter, with low-profile designs to allow for easy, non-intrusive integration into your factory layout.

Improved Quality Control Procedures

Our metal detection systems for pharma can help you improve your quality control processes with accurate inspection of pharmaceuticals for metal contaminants.

With pharmaceutical metal detection systems, you can detect a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as hard-to-detect grades of stainless steel as small as 0.3 millimeters in diameter.

The more thoroughly the systems identify reject metal contaminants, the easier it will be to facilitate and support FDA compliance with metal detection in pharma.

Reduced Risk of Recalls

By using FDA metal detection pharma systems on your manufactured pharmaceuticals such as powders, tablets, or capsules, you can minimize your risk of product recalls due to metal contamination.

METTLER TOLEDO is a manufacturer of metal detection systems that offer optimized configurations for sensitivity, supporting quality inspection in the pharmaceutical industry for a wide variety of pharma applications with minimal disruption to the production processes.
