Visual inspection remains a critical quality assurance step in pharmaceutical and injectable manufacturing, particularly where human judgement is required to identify subtle particulate contamination or cosmetic defects. A Manual Vial And Bottle Inspection Conveyor provides a structured, ergonomic, and compliant platform for performing these inspections efficiently.
Across Great Britain—especially in pharmaceutical and life sciences hubs such as London, Cambridge, Oxford, Manchester, Birmingham, and the wider Midlands—manufacturers rely on dependable manual inspection systems to support batch integrity, regulatory compliance, and audit readiness. The inspection conveyor from Technogen Enterprise is engineered to meet these practical production requirements with reliability and simplicity.
A Manual Vial And Bottle Inspection Conveyor is a human-operated visual inspection system designed to examine filled vials and bottles for visible impurities. The machine facilitates inspection by providing controlled illumination, contrasting backgrounds, and organised material flow.
It is typically installed between upstream filling machines and downstream packaging equipment, forming a vital link in the pharmaceutical quality control process. This system is widely used where regulatory protocols mandate human visual verification rather than fully automated inspection.
The inspection process is straightforward, operator-friendly, and optimised for consistent throughput:
Infeed from Upstream Equipment
Filled vials or bottles are transferred onto the central conveyor section from the filling line.
Visual Inspection Zone
Operators seated along the conveyor inspect containers against black and white inspection boards with suitable illumination to detect particles, fibres, or cosmetic defects.
Three-Partition Conveyor Layout
The central conveyor carries incoming containers for inspection
The side conveyors transport accepted containers toward downstream processes
Manual Sorting
Defective containers are manually removed by the operator, while accepted units continue along the conveyor.
Transfer to Downstream Equipment
Inspected vials and bottles move seamlessly to labelling, packaging, or further processing stages.
This layout ensures inspection accuracy while maintaining an organised and continuous workflow.
