The Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical sector covers a wide range of products which typically include; tablets, capsules, soft gels, lozenges, and many more. These products are inspected to eliminate any contaminants that may be present so that they do not make it to the consumer.

The typical contaminants inspected in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical are; all metals (Ferrous, Non-Ferrous & Stainless steel). Additionally, some manufacturers have the need to inspect for product integrity within blister packs (broken or missing product). Through understanding the challenges faced by each sector and application, LOMA is able to design machinery to help ease any potential issues and help to contribute to maintain maximum uptime.
