No Place to Hide: Preventing Cross-Contamination

Poorly constructed equipment can make the difference between producing safe or contaminated medication. A new hygienically designed weigh module adds safety to tank-weighing installations in hygienically sensitive environments.

When tank inventory must be monitored accurately, weigh modules are the measurement equipment of choice. They provide a higher accuracy than other measurement technologies such as flowmeters and do not come into direct contact with processed materials.
Accurate and hygienic
Because material contact is avoided, tanks outfitted with weigh modules are an ideal solution when both accuracy and hygiene are required. However, tanks are often placed directly in hygienically sensitive environments and thus are subject to the cleaning procedures prevalent in pharmaceutical production.
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) puts great emphasis on the prevention of cross-contamination and requires equipment to be suitable for easy cleaning. The new SWB805 MultiMount™weigh module is specifically designed for hygienically sensitive environments. It is certified by NSF International according to hygienic equipment design standards.

Designed for cleaning
Key features such as mirror-polished stainless steel, self-draining surfaces and a fully sealed load cell make sure that the weigh modules can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly. The weigh modules are designed to withstand even the harsh cleaning procedures required to maintain a hygienic level appropriate for pharmaceutical production.
The SWB805 MultiMount™weigh module is the right choice when designing low-risk tank weighing solutions for clean-room applications.
The SWB805 MultiMount™ weigh module offers:

  • Capacities of 110, 220, 550, 1100,  2200, 4400 kg
  •  NSF International certification
  • Self-draining design to avoid standing water
  • Mirror-polish to reduce  bacterial contamination
  • Stainless-steel load cell
  • IP68 / IP69k protection
  • OIML, NTEP, ATEX, FM approvals
