A test apparatus checks containers () of plastic and produced using the blow-moulding, filling and sealing methods. The containers are filled with fluid that can contain particulate contamination deposited on the container wall when the container () is still and floating freely in the fluid when the container () is moving and/or changing position owing to the movement. The contamination can be detected by a sensor (). By a vibration device (), the container () can be oscillated at a prespecifiable excitation frequency such that the particulate contamination () in the fluid can be detected.

Test apparatus for checking container products

The present invention relates to a method for quantifying the composition of a product, including: irradiating the product with a radiation source in the near infrared range; receiving radiation which is reflected by or transmitted through the product; providing an output signal corresponding to the intensity of the radiation received at a number of different wavelengths; and determining whether or not the product lies within predetermined integrity criteria on the basis of the output signal using a mathematical method. The moving product contains a solution or homogeneous dispersion and the content of at least one substance contained in the dispersion or solution is quantitatively determined on the basis of the output signal. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method.

Method and device for the quantitative analysis of solutions and dispersions by means of near infrared spectroscopy

The tablets press according to the invention comprises an integral measuring device for the determination of the quantitative content of at least one substance in a tablet, comprising: at least one radiation source, which emits radiation in the near infrared range, for the irradiation of the tablet, a radiation receiving device contained in a measuring head, which receives the radiation reflected by the tablet, a spectrometer for receiving the radiation from the radiation receiving device and for supplying an output signal according to the intensity of the received radiation at a number of different wavelengths and a device for the quantitative determination of the content of at least one substance contained in the tablet and/or for the determination of the ratios of all or some of the contained components based on the output signal, wherein the measuring device is suitable for measuring each individual pressed tablet, and the trigger times of the measurements are correlated with the conveying speed of the tablets press.

Tablets press with integral NIR measuring device

The present invention relates to a method for checking the filling or content of pockets in a blister package in particular for pharmaceuticals which is filled with a powdery, solid, liquid or pasteous substance whereby the volume filled of the substance is detected by a sensor and the detected volume value is supplied to an evaluation unit in which a comparison of the detected volume value with a volume target value is carried out. The sensor can preferably be formed both as a line sensor as well as a matrix sensor.
