Capsule Sampling Check Weigher is a specialized machine used in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the weight accuracy of capsules during production. It works by:
1. Sampling:
The machine takes samples of capsules at regular intervals from the production line. This sampling can be based on time, number of capsules produced, or a combination of factors.
2. Weighing:
Each sampled capsule is weighed individually using a high-precision weighing system. This system can typically measure weight differences as small as milligrams.
3. Sorting:
Based on the weight measurement, the capsules are categorized as:
Acceptable: Capsules within the pre-defined weight range.
Underweight: Capsules lighter than the acceptable range.
Overweight: Capsules heavier than the acceptable range.
4. Rejection (Optional):
Automatically reject underweight or overweight capsules. Rejected capsules are diverted to a separate waste collection area.
5. Data Recording:
The machine may record data on each capsule weighed, including weight value, category (acceptable, underweight, overweight), and time of sampling. This data is valuable for quality control purposes and allows for monitoring of the filling process.
Benefits of using a capsule sampling check weigher:
Ensures weight accuracy: Identifies and removes capsules with incorrect weight, improving product quality and consistency.
Reduces waste: By detecting weight deviations early, the machine minimizes the production of unusable capsules.
Improves process control: Provides data for monitoring and optimizing the capsule filling process.
Minimizes risk of recalls: Helps ensure capsules meet weight specifications, reducing the risk of product recalls due to weight inconsistencies.
High throughput: Modern machines can handle high production volumes with efficient sampling and weighing.
Capsule sampling check weighers are often used alongside other capsule filling equipment, forming a complete capsule filling line.
