Automated weighing system for tablets
Accurate weighing is crucial in pharmaceutical production for maintaining product quality and regulatory compliance. Weight checks must be conducted at regular intervals during tablet compression or capsule filling to prevent weight drift and ensure consistency.
Ensures consistent tablet weight with automated testing
The WT50 by Sotax AG is an advanced online weighing system designed specifically for integration with tablet presses. Its robust, compact design allows for placement directly below the sampling gate for gravity feeding or at a distance using venturi-feeding. The WT50 operates unattended, diverting samples at regular intervals to the high-precision weighing module, which measures individual sample weights and transfers results to the tablet press for automated self-adjustment. The system features a vibration-resistant elevated platform design to prevent erroneous measurements caused by tablet debris. Additionally, the WT50 includes user-guided calibration and a built-in procedure for determining minimum weight according to USP <41> standards. With options for different integration configurations and a space-saving sample collector, the WT50 is ideal for maintaining accurate weight control in a high-demand production environment.
