Flip-Off Seal Inspection System

What is a Flip-Off Seal?

A flip-off seal is a tamper-evident closure mechanism used in pharmaceutical packaging. It consists of an aluminium shell that covers and protects the product, with a button designed to be flipped off to access the contents. These seals are critical for maintaining product integrity, sterility, and compliance.

How FOSIS Works

FOSIS uses advanced machine vision and AI deep learning to inspect flip-off seals at high speed. The system automatically detects defects across three zones: the outer aluminium shell, inner surface, and PP button. Defective items are instantly ejected using pneumatic ejection, ensuring 100% quality control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FOSIS? +

FOSIS (Flip-Off Seal Inspection System) is a high-speed pharmaceutical machine vision system that automatically inspects flip-off seals at speeds up to 600 caps per minute. It detects 18+ different types of defects across three inspection zones and is fully FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.

What defects does FOSIS detect? +

FOSIS detects 18+ defect types including: cuts, wrinkles, strain marks, deformations, missing shells, black marks, dents, dirt, improper crimping, flash marks, short fill, black spots, colour variations, and missing plastic caps. Defects are identified across the outer aluminium shell, inner surface, and PP button zones.

Is FOSIS FDA compliant? +

Yes, FOSIS is fully compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 for pharmaceutical manufacturing. It also meets WHO-GMP and Schedule M compliance requirements. The system provides complete electronic records with audit trails, 3-level access control, and comprehensive data traceability.

What seal sizes can FOSIS handle? +

FOSIS handles 5 different flip-off seal sizes: 13mm (Dia 15×H8mm), 20mm (Dia 22×H8mm), 28mm (Dia 31×11mm), 32mm (Dia 36×16mm), and 34mm (Dia 36×14mm). Quick-change configurations allow for rapid size adjustments between production runs.

What is the inspection speed? +

FOSIS can inspect up to 600 caps/minute for 13mm seals. Speed adjusts based on seal size, complexity of defects being detected, and production requirements. The system maintains consistent quality regardless of speed.

Does FOSIS provide traceability? +

Yes, FOSIS provides complete traceability. The system stores the last 100 defects with high-resolution images on the 21" touchscreen interface. All inspection data can be exported for batch validation, regulatory audits, and process improvement analysis.

What feeding system does FOSIS use? +

FOSIS uses a vibratory bowl feeder made from stainless steel SS304 (food/pharma grade). The feeder automatically orients seals correctly and conveys them to the inspection line at the required speed, eliminating manual handling.

How does FOSIS reject defective seals? +

FOSIS uses high-speed pneumatic ejection to instantly remove defective seals from the production line. The system is programmable for different rejection sensitivity levels and can be configured for different seal types and production requirements.

Can FOSIS integrate with existing production lines? +

Yes, FOSIS is designed for seamless integration into existing pharmaceutical production lines. It can connect to upstream filling machines and downstream packaging equipment with standard interfaces and data protocols. Our installation team handles all integration requirements.

What is the typical return on investment? +

FOSIS typically pays for itself within 12-18 months through reduction in waste, improved product yield, faster cycle times, and elimination of manual inspection costs. Additional benefits include reduced regulatory risk and improved customer satisfaction through consistent quality.
