Drug Manufacturing Checkweighing Solutions

Checkweighers are high-precision instruments that weigh and document each product you produce in order to secure your process quality. WIPOTEC-OCS manages to combine maximum accuracy and throughput rates with process reliability. Pharmaceutical checkweighers facilitate completeness checking of pharmaceutical packs in the packaging process. The precisely determined weight, for example, makes it possible to determine the number of blister packs in a folding box that has already been sealed. This package weight check ensures that all the customary packaging types have been correctly filled.

QUALITY ASSURANCE ON MANY LEVELS
Completeness checks by means of exact weight determination do not end at blister level; by checking the weight, it is also possible to detect the presence of a patient information leaflet in the sealed folding box. Checkweighers identify deviations in the milligram range which also allows them to check the number of tablets in special application cases. WIPOTEC-OCS checkweighers are distinguished by the ability to carry out quality checks at top speed on products that are already packaged. The faulty products are ejected into separate containers – sorted according to attributes – without interrupting the product flow. Quality assurance is not limited only to folding boxes. Thanks to safe positioning and handling technology, it is also possible to weigh synthetic containers, bottles and boxes accurate to within a milligram at equally high speeds in order to carry out a completeness check.

OPTIMALLY ADAPTED TO THE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT
Pharmaceutical checkweighers from WIPOTEC-OCS impress by virtue of their outstanding technology, incorporated in a hygienic design and the use of high-class materials such as full stainless steel. This material is corrosion-resistant, durable and hygienic at the same time; the hard, homogeneous nature of its surface enables compliance with the highest standards in the pharmaceutical field. The passive surface layer cannot be attacked by acids or alkaline solutions. Due to the abrasion-resistant surfaces of WIPOTEC-OCS checkweighers, paper dust deposits do not create surfaces that permanently attract dirt even on frequently touched components
