Monitoring device uses thermal imaging to inspect 100% of sachets and pouches.
The Sachet Full Monitoring (SFM) Inspection Device from DIR Technologies uses thermal imaging technology for in-line fill level and seal integrity inspection of 100% of sachet and pouch containers. The non-invasive inspection technique works without slowing down the rate of production.
Sachets and pouches are widely used in pharmaceuticals, and traditionally, checkweighing machines use sampling to verify that these packages are filled properly. The SFM technology inspects all packages rather than just a sample.
