<strong>Thermo</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong> APEX <strong>500</strong> <strong>Rx</strong><br />
PHARMACEUTICAL METAL<br />
DETECTION SYSTEMS<br />
Detects metal contamination in bulk flow<br />
tablets to facilitate pharmaceutical GMP<br />
• Assists in compliance with GMPs in 21 CFR parts 210 and 211<br />
• Complete system makes installation quick and easy<br />
• Straight-through flow prevents product damage<br />
• Up to <strong>500</strong> K/hour tablet or capsule throughput<br />
• High frequency and gain operation to detect<br />
metal fragments as small as 0.3 mm<br />
• Rated for IP65 washdown<br />
and dust resistant<br />
Detection and separation of products<br />
containing metal is crucial in the manufacture<br />
of pharmaceutical tablets and capsules. The<br />
<strong>Thermo</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong> APEX <strong>500</strong> <strong>Rx</strong> <strong>Metal</strong> Detection<br />
System provides the highest level of protection<br />
while improving your efficiency, even at high<br />
flow rates. Manufactured with U.S. Federal<br />
Drug Administration (FDA) compliant materials,<br />
the APEX <strong>500</strong> <strong>Rx</strong> conforms to stringent FDA<br />
regulations for validated production.<br />
Patented multicoil design consistently delivers<br />
industry-leading sensitivity and stability.<br />
Featured Total Quality Solution (TQS) package<br />
continuously monitors and validates the<br />
system’s performance to eliminate costly recalls<br />
and quarantines—ensuring the absence of even<br />
small slivers of metal, while preventing product<br />
damage.<br />
Fully mobile unit is easy to install—simply<br />
position unit at the output of a tablet press,<br />
deduster, or capsule filler. The adjustable height<br />
and angle provide additional flexibility within<br />
production lines. Intuitive icon-driven interface<br />
and step-by-step quick-reference guide make<br />
this system easy to set up, program, and<br />
operate—without any additional training needed.<br />
Rated to IP65/NEMA 4X, the APEX <strong>500</strong> <strong>Rx</strong> is<br />
designed for fast disassembly and cleaning.<br />
