An Ampoule Visual Inspection Machine is a critical quality control solution for pharmaceutical and injectable manufacturing facilities where patient safety, regulatory compliance, and product integrity are paramount. In Ghana, with the growing emphasis on GMP-compliant pharmaceutical production and injectable manufacturing, reliable visual inspection equipment has become an essential requirement.
Technogen Enterprise offers an advanced Semi Automatic Ampoule Visual Inspection Machine, Model TGAIM-60, engineered for accurate detection of visible and sub-visible defects in ampoules with controlled human intervention. As an experienced manufacturer and supplier serving the Ghanaian pharmaceutical sector, the company delivers inspection systems that combine precision engineering, ergonomic design, and consistent performance.
This machine is specifically designed to inspect ampoules for foreign particles such as glass fragments, black particles, fibers, dirt, filter media residues, and body cracks, ensuring only defect-free products proceed to the next stage of packaging.
Pharmaceutical and injectable manufacturers in Ghana must adhere to stringent quality and safety standards to meet both domestic regulatory requirements and international export expectations. The ampoule visual inspection machine supports these objectives by providing a controlled, repeatable, and highly effective inspection process.
The semi-automatic configuration allows trained operators to visually examine ampoules under optimal lighting and magnification conditions while minimizing fatigue and variability. This balance between automation and human judgment makes the system particularly suitable for critical injectable products.
The inspection process is centered around a high-speed spinning mechanism that creates a vortex inside the liquid-filled ampoule. This vortex action forces suspended particles to move in a predictable pattern, making them clearly visible against the illuminated background.
Operational sequence includes:
Manual loading of ampoules on the infeed tray
Controlled movement through a star wheel system
High-speed spinning of ampoules using six spinning assemblies
Creation of a vortex inside the liquid for particle detection
Visual inspection under magnification and backlit illumination
Manual rejection of defective ampoules using an ejection switch
The machine achieves an output of up to 3600 ampoules per hour, depending on inspection time, ampoule quality, and repeat cycle frequency.
CGMP-compliant and compact base model
All liquid contact parts manufactured from Stainless Steel 304
Tray-based ampoule loading and unloading for operator convenience
Separate variable frequency drives for main machine and spinning assemblies
Reflex photoelectric sensor mounted on aluminum star wheel for accurate ampoule separation
Six high-speed ampoule spinning assemblies for efficient vortex generation
Adjustable spinner rotation speed to suit product characteristics
Simultaneous magnified viewing of six ampoules
1.75X overall magnification with selective area magnification up to 3X
Two high-intensity magnifying lamps (18W each, approx. 1800 lumens)
Dedicated ejection switch for smooth rejection handling
Repeat cycle arrangement within the production cycle
Dual inbuilt counters for total production and rejection monitoring
The working height of the machine is designed specifically with respect to the operator’s seated eye level, reducing fatigue during prolonged inspection cycles. Clear visibility, uniform lighting, and intuitive controls contribute to consistent inspection accuracy and higher operator efficiency.
This ergonomic focus is particularly beneficial for pharmaceutical plants in Ghana where inspection reliability and workforce productivity must be maintained simultaneously.
