(Mettler-Toledo Inc.: Columbus, OH) -- Pharma Tech Industries (PTI), a contract manufacturer and packer of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and personal care products, is focused on exceeding customers’ expectations. To consistently achieve its high quality standards, the company relies on X-ray and metal detection systems from Mettler-Toledo Safeline and checkweighers from Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed.

“Last summer, when we were looking for an X-ray inspection system for a new production line, we considered several suppliers,” says Bill Leonard, engineering manager at PTI’s Royston, Georgia, facility. “We chose the SmartChek X-ray system based on the quality of the equipment, the reputation of the supplier, and the responsiveness of the supplier’s service team.”

The X-ray system at PTI inspects over-the-counter and prescription pharmaceuticals—powdered products packed in pouches made of metalized film. The ability to detect metal contamination through the metalized film led to PTI’s decision to install this X-ray system, though it detects glass, stone, bone, rubber, and other contaminants, as well.
