    Manual visual inspection hoods

    Find the ideal manual visual inspection solution for your pharmaceuticals

    Manual inspection plays a critical role in verifying product quality, especially for small batches or difficult-to-inspect products. Yet, detecting tiny particles with the naked eye can be a fatiguing and demanding task. Our manual inspection hoods are designed to make this process easier and more accurate with 2,000 to 3,750 lux lighting, high-contrast black and white backgrounds, and ergonomic features that support operator comfort – all while ensuring full compliance with global pharmacopoeia standards.

    Syntegon is the strategic partner for both CMOs and drug originators who want to achieve the most efficient inspection results. With decades of experience and our Japanese heritage with a focus on quality, we are constantly developing innovative solutions to make your manual inspection processes safer, easier, and more effective.
