Case Study: Maximum Quality Control

The pharmaceutical industry has the strictest quality standards for a reason. Cinfa needs to ensure that the correct amount of blister packs is packed in each single carton and that all cartons contain the patient information leaflet. Checkweighing is a highly effective tool used in conjunction with a well-designed quality control program. By installing checkweighers specifically designed for pharmaceutical production, Cinfa ensures all products are checked for completeness.

"The pharmaceutical checkweighers were seamlessly integrated into our production lines where weighing needs to be highly accurate and reliable. It allows us to make the production process transparent delivering real-time data on access management so that we can fully trace all system changes," explained Torres. 

The checkweighers' enhanced software and mechanical features such as the detection of open flaps and askew packages protects downstream equipment. The reliable handling of products has top priority. For instance, with the transversal adjustment option, installed products can be automatically re-centered which leads to optimal positioning of products on the weighing conveyor and results in improved weighing accuracy.

Comprehensive Expertise from One Reliable Partner

During commissioning, Cinfa was supported by experts from METTLER TOLEDO to combine professional installation and qualification of the equipment. "This gave us the certainty that our lines are running and performing as planned and that we can easily overcome any future validation processes. METTLER TOLEDO has always been a reference for us. Their wide equipment portfolio can be found in almost all our departments. The overall expert knowledge across all our business processes combined with an excellent all-around service has convinced us," says Torres.
