FEATURED PRODUCTS

This checkweigher ensures stable transfer and high-accuracy measurement of small containers that can easily topple during conveyance, such as eye lotion bottles, nasal drop vials, and cosmetics containers. The model features a conveyor with three integrated side-grip belts that keep products upright throughout the infeed, weigh table, and outfeed sections. The width of these side-grip belts is easily adjustable to accommodate different product sizes, with a standard range of 20-40 mm and an optional maximum width extension up to 100 mm. This design allows for a processing speed of up to 200 bottles per minute and an accuracy of +/- 0.02 g. The rejector uses a gate-type mechanism, with an optional air jet rejector for products up to 200 g. The system is compliant with federal regulation 21 CFR Part 11 for the integrity of electronic records and signatures, with features such as password authentication, audit trail of operation data, and encryption/decryption of exported data.

Anritsu's aerosol checkweigher is engineered for accurate weighing of aerosol cans in pharmaceutical applications. It features a star wheel mechanism that feeds cans onto the weigh table at a constant speed and with uniform spacing. This design, combined with a high precision electromagnetic weigh cell, ensures a throughput of up to 150 cans per minute, with a weighing accuracy of ± 10 mg. The checkweigher has a compact footprint, integrating within the same frame a reject mechanism and confirmation function, ensuring that only correctly weighed products pass through. Underweight and overweight cans are automatically directed into two separate bins located beneath the weigh table. The system is compliant with federal regulation 21 CFR Part 11 for the integrity of electronic records and signatures, with features such as password authentication, audit trail of operation data, and encryption/decryption of exported data.

The SSV-h Checkweigher is a great cost-effective solution for industrial, pharmaceutical, and packaged food products that need to meet stringent accuracy and reliability standards. It is equipped with a force balance load cell that produces faster response and readings with maximum accuracy of +/- 0.01 g. The Smart Measurement Function uses improved signal processing, filtering, and scale resolution to reduce rejections due to double product errors. The giveaway feature calculates product excess both as total weight and percentage, allowing you to adjust filling levels and reduce costs. The SSV-h series comes with an IP30 dustproof rating that makes it ideal for non-washdown applications. Its lightweight and rigid conveyor can be easily disassembled and wiped clean without any tools.

Anritsu's Capsule Pharmaceutical Checkweigher is the best weighing solution for a variety of capsules, where slight variances in active pharmaceutical ingredients can have a large impact on efficacy. It's equipped with Anritsu's force balance load cell that provides weight accuracy of +/- 0.5 mg. Each capsule is individually weighed, monitored, and tracked. The handling system is designed to minimize static electricity and vibration generated from the drop of the capsule from the magazine to the weigh cell. The rejection mechanism includes three gates and a confirmation sensor to make sure that capsules with incorrect weight are removed from the production flow. Our capsule checkweighers are available in three models with 10, 20, or 30 lanes, and a maximum inspection capacity of 230,000 capsules/h.

The M6 Tablet Metal Detector is equipped with a detection head and signal processing engineered for pharmaceutical applications. Furthermore, the structure is designed to minimize the negative effect on detection performance of static electricity of tablets and capsules, as well as vibration and inverter noise from nearby equipment. The result is a highly specialized machine that provides outstanding detection of metal contaminants with very few adjustments and almost no need to use sample products during configuration. The sensitivity of the Tablet Metal Detector can determine whether the contaminant is magnetic or non-magnetic without a time-consuming breaking test on tablets and capsules. A position sensor on the rejection unit prevents false rejects as well as defective products from slipping into downstream equipment.

The XR75 Pharma X-ray is optimized for the quality control of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic products in thin opaque packaging materials that cannot be inspected manually or with visual systems. The leakage prevention curtains are designed to leave a 10 mm-clearance that ensures safety and reduces false rejects caused by product jams or changed orientation during conveyance. The system checks for different product integrity issues simultaneously: products trapped in seals, missing, chipped, or broken tablets in blisters, and the presence of foreign contaminants. The high-resolution X-ray images ensure reliable inspection of the small items at belt speed up to 90 m/min.
