Tracking the cracking: How to optimize pharma fill-and-finish processes by use of strength testing and fractography
Fractography is a powerful yet often underestimated technique for objectively identifying the root causes of glass breakage. It is particularly effective for analyzing breakage during the fill-and-finish process, allowing for corrective actions that enhance safety and efficiency. While zero breakage is impossible, maximum reliability can be achieved by reducing stress, improving strength, and preventing flaws.
A thorough understanding of the correlation between container handling and the occurrence of failure-inducing flaws can significantly reduce glass breakage during fill-and-finish processes, thereby optimizing output quantities. Download the whitepaper now to explore more!
