Capsule checkweighing system for pharmaceutical production
In pharmaceutical production, ensuring each capsule meets precise weight specifications is critical for maintaining product quality and compliance. Accurate checkweighing is essential to detect deviations and ensure consistent dosages across batch productions, while minimizing waste and avoiding product recalls.

Ensures precise capsule weight compliance
The KKE capsule checkweighing series from Syntegon is designed for high precision in 100% capsule weighing. Utilizing patented ‘hanging weighing cell’ technology, it offers unparalleled accuracy by effectively eliminating electrical interferences and preventing deposits. Each model—KKE 1700, KKE 2500, KKE 2600, and KKE 3800—integrates automated troubleshooting (ASB) functionality to correct handling malfunctions, enhancing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Capacities range from 103,200 to 232,200 capsules per hour, with models supporting sizes from 000 to 5, including elongated and DB. The KKE series is compliant with cGMP standards, making it suitable for both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, and is available in OEB 4 and OEB 5 versions for enhanced operator protection. The series also features easy integration with Syntegon GKF capsule filling machines, providing an efficient inline process with a feedback loop for instant adjustment and traceable documentation of production data.
