PG 1203IP – for Pharmaceutical Industry – Highvolume Vacuum Tests – Plasmagenerator and Detector
Non-destructive Vacuum Testing in the Pharmaceutical Industry
The PG1203IP Vacuum tester was specifically developed for non-destructive vacuum testing in the pharmaceutical industry.
This is the first vacuum-testing system that goes beyond Pass/Fail evaluation to additionally offer quantitative analysis.
Reliability, high throughput and easy system integration characterize the PG1203IP. Special emphasis was placed on user-friendly operation.
Electrical and mechanical system integration and customizing is supported by GNT and/or our partners, who can offer standard and customized mechanical equipment for the production line.
Both the plasma generation and the evaluation are carried out using the latest signal processing algorithms and high-performance processors. In addition, there are extensive possibilities for data documentation and connection to existing automated systems.
The figure illustrates the mechanical arrangement to test a vial. The electrode of the generator (tip) is applied to the surface of the vial. A ground electrode will guide the way for the plasma. The optical fiber receives the plasma light and sends it to the optical detector.
