In-line · 100% production testing
VEGA
Fully automatic integrity testing of every bag on the filling line, with automatic loading, unloading and rejection. Built for the 100% testing that EU GMP Annex 1 expects.
What changes for you
Every bag tested. None destroyed.
VEGA moves integrity testing from a sample in the laboratory to every unit on the line, without slowing production.
- Deterministic, quantitative result for each bag, recorded
- Adjustable to your production rate and detection limit
- Tests bags straight after autoclaving, with condensation on the surface
- Detects gas and liquid leaks across the entire bag
- No vacuum, no tracer gas: only an electrical supply
Specifications
Technical data
Values from the current VEGA specification. Final figures depend on bag format, fill and the detection limit agreed for your project.
| Parameter | VEGA |
|---|
VEGA is configured to each line: infeed, outfeed, reject handling and line control integration are agreed during the project.
Is it the right machine?
VEGA or POLAR?
One method, two machines. Most manufacturers start with the one that matches where they need the answer.
VEGA is for you if
- You need to test 100% of production
- You fill bags at high speed and cannot add a manual step
- Your bags are up to 30 L
- You want a reject decision before bags leave the line
Choose POLAR if
- You test samples in the QA laboratory
- You need stability or investigation testing
- Your volumes are small or medium, up to 10 L bags
Data and documentation
A result for every bag, ready for your audit.
Each test returns a quantitative value and a pass or reject decision. Records are designed to support your data-integrity obligations under EU GMP Annex 11 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Audit trail, user management and export formats are confirmed per project.
- Qualification documentation for IQ, OQ and PQ
- Factory acceptance test in Bologna before shipping
- Operator training at installation
