CW-150 – Checkweigher [mg] for tablets & capsules

New and innovative in-line solution designed to ensure the quality of each individual tablet or capsule weight for up to OEB3 level products. The CW-150 measures the individual weight of every single tablet or capsule up to a speed of 150.000 objects per hour and rejects all non-compliant products. The ideal tool for in-line quality Inspection and RTD (Real Time Decision). It can also be used offline for batch recovery inspection.

Each product is inspected by the 3D microwave resonator allowing it to measure individual weight to the precision of +/- 1mg (3 sigma). Various extensive repeatability test campaigns and industrial case studies have shown that the measurements are within the predicted error boundaries.

This equipment is geared to provide you with this precise weight and to remove 100% of non-compliant products from good products, allowing RTD (Real Time Decision).

The CW-150 uses a simple calibration protocol for calibrating & validating the 3D microwave resonator based on a multiple linear regression principle. Samples are sent to a very accurate weigh cell located in a closed stable chamber to serve as the reference method for the indirect weight predictions.

This isolated chamber can also be equipped with an especially highly precise 4-P tester to test the physical attributes of your products based on
conventional sampling methods (weight, thickness, hardness, and length/diameter).

The unit has been developed with the utmost care to the mechanical design allowing fast and unexpansive format changes.

Data are processed and analyzed by high-speed processors and stored in a user-friendly “step by step” CFR21 acquisition software.

Data can easily be exported to a USB memory device, or to an upstream machine or software through OPC UA (e.g. connection to upstream or downstream process equipment). The utmost care has been taken to simplify the equipment to allow use in a production environment.

Designed to comply with the European Union’s CE Guidelines, they are supplied with a manual, safety instructions, and wiring diagrams.
