Thermo Scientific™ APEX 500 Rx pharmaceutical metal detection systems provide high levels of brand protection and pharmaceutical industry compliance in the most demanding tablet and capsule production environments. The multicoil design consistently delivers application sensitivity and stability but isn’t impacted by product effect or environmental changes. Manufactured to meet stringent requirements for validated production, only FDA-compliant materials are used in areas of the system that come in contact with the product.
Designed to ensure the absence of even small slivers of metal, the APEX 500 Rx metal detector gives you high sensitivity at high flow rates. The straight through product flow path minimizes the potential for damage to tablet or capsule products as they flow through the system.
The APEX 500 Rx metal detector is a costeffective system which improves productivity and provides high levels of brand protection. Available in three aperture sizes to match sensitivity to product rate and size. Every system is configured for 900 kHz operation for optimal stainless steel detection.
