High-speed capsule weighing system for quality assurance
Ensure precise capsule weight monitoring and sorting with a system designed for seamless integration into your production line, enhancing quality control and reducing waste.
Weighs and Sorts Pharmaceutical Capsules
The Accura-C by Harro Höfliger is a highly precise capsule weighing system designed to enhance quality assurance in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It uses advanced weighing cells for accurate sorting and weighing of both empty and filled capsules, ensuring reliable inspection. Supporting production lines with a capacity of up to 200,000 capsules per hour, the system seamlessly connects with various capsule filling machines, offering an automatic feedback loop for optimal fill weight regulation. The Accura-C is suitable for a wide range of applications, including gelatin and vegetarian capsules containing powders or solid supplements. Its efficient design incorporates minimal setup and cleaning times, and it features integrated vibration compensation and PRP functionality for reduced manpower requirements. Constructed to meet GMP and FDA standards, the system is available with standard interfaces for IT network integration, promoting robust performance and traceability.
