The automatic ampoule/vial inspection machine is primarily used in pharmaceutical manufacturing to inspect ampoule-based injectable products. It performs fully automated detection of visible foreign particles and cosmetic container defects to ensure product quality and safety.
Typical inspection items include:- Foreign particles: glass shards, fibers, hair, white specks, white powder
- Appearance defects: abnormal liquid levels, scorched necks, carbon spots, convex heads, concave heads, and bubble formations
This system helps you maintain high standards of sterility, clarity, and packaging integrity in compliance with international pharmaceutical regulations.

Why is automated inspection important in the pharmaceutical industry?
Automated inspection plays a critical role in reducing contamination risks and improving batch release efficiency. Systems like the automatic ampoule/vial inspection machine deliver consistent, high-volume inspection results at high speed, minimizing human error and false rejections. Most importantly, they help you meet the strict standards set by global regulators such as the FDA and EMA, ensuring product sterility and container integrity.
How does visual inspection differ from high-voltage leak detection (HVLD)?
Visual inspection is designed to detect visible foreign particles, such as glass shards, fibers, hair, white specks and identify appearance defects like abnormal liquid levels, scorched or carbonized necks, and irregular finishes (e.g., convex, concave, or bubble heads).
In contrast, HVLD technology focuses on detecting leaks in containers like ampoules, vials, and oral liquid bottles. It identifies microcracks, pinholes, and seal integrity issues in areas like the container wall, neck, or base.
