In-process weighing system for capsules and tablets
Ensure precise dosing and consistent quality with a format-free system that reliably weighs and inspects every capsule and tablet in your production line.
Weighs and Inspects Capsules and Tablets
The OmniControl IPC from Harro Höfliger is a format-free, in-process weighing system designed specifically for pharmaceutical manufacturers. This system stands out for its ability to perform accurate random inspections of capsules and tablets using the patented rotary star principle, ensuring precise weight determination with minimal maintenance. Capable of handling up to 20 cycles per minute, it addresses the need for continuous, automatic weight monitoring in the production of hard gelatin capsules, soft gel capsules, effervescent tablets, and more. The system’s advanced weighing cell facilitates the sorting of compliant and non-compliant products, enhancing product uniformity and regulatory compliance. Featuring integrated automation with peripheral connectivity via standard interfaces, it seamlessly fits into high-speed production lines and supports a feedback loop for automatic fill weight regulation. The OmniControl IPC complies with the highest pharmaceutical industry standards and offers gentle product handling through its vacuum suction wheel and pocket wheel design.
