System manufacturers are reacting to the increasing demand for 100 percent control of tablets, capsules, vials or syringes. State-of-the-art solutions can process tens of thousands of products per hour and are easily integrated into the manufacturing process.

While such systems provide considerable efficiency and quality improvements, they are also significant investments that have to prove their value in the long run. Careful evaluation of the system and its components is essential to ensure consistent measurement accuracy and avoid costly interruptions of the production process. Especially make sure to check up on the weighing sensors: They must fulfill a range of requirements to deliver the accuracy, speed and reliability expected of the system.

Our new WMF weigh modules for multi-line checkweighing or filling applications are designed with these requirements in mind.

  • Accuracy verification, anytime - The 2-million-digit resolution ensures accurate measurements with a readability of 2 milligrams. An integrated calibration weight allows quick functionality and accuracy tests at any time without the need to interrupt the production process for calibration with an external reference weight.
  • Fast format change with ease - Customized sample-holding adapters can be easily installed on the WMF. The weighing pan can be changed quickly to adjust to a new sample or product with minimized downtime.
  • Protection of the weighing sensor
    WMF weigh modules are equipped with comprehensive overload protection against forces from all sides. This not only protects the accuracy of the weigh module during normal operation, but also in the event of malfunction, ensures high uptime.
  • Clean-in-place capabilities
    The stainless steel housing, FDA-compliant sealing and an optional IP65 wash-down feature allow cleaning procedures in place with water or liquid chemicals. This eliminates the need to disassemble the weigh module and greatly increases cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.
