Weighing Technologies

A checkweigher is a manual or an automatic machine used for checking the weight of packaged products. It is normally installed at the end of a production line and ensures that the weight of each unit is within the standard range. A high-speed production line requires a checkweigher that can match the speed of the process. Small or low-weight products, such as pharmaceutical capsules require high accuracy checkweighers for quality control purposes.

The essential objectives of containment systems are personnel protection and preventing the release of toxic or infectious material into the environment. Containment is also used to prevent a product or sample from contamination by the external environment. In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, containment solutions are used to protect the personnel from the leaking of airborne particles of hazardous substances, as powders or liquids are handled or transferred during processing.

Containment

Industrial sampling equipment are systems that allow manufacturers to test (in other words to take a sample of) the products they are manufacturing. This process is generally implemented as a means of quality control but it can also be used as a mean to ensure that production processes adhere to certain regulatory standards. Quality control in your manufacturing process starts with precision sampling techniques. Automated systems deliver consistent samples at a pre-set rate for accurate testing and probing. Sampling technology uses a calibration system involving a series of sensors to extract the material at high levels of reliability.

Sampling

Industrial washing systems are used to clean and disinfect a variety of items in research and manufacturing facilities. Industrial washers use solvents and cleaning agents with mechanical action to remove deposits and residues from stainless steel machinery components, empty containers, and other soiled surfaces. The selection of an industrial or commercial washer depends on the type of items and surfaces to be cleaned, the type of deposits/residue that is typically present, whether drying is required after rinsing and the level of sterilization necessary. Manufacturers will have cleaning specifications and as a result, require washers to be engineered to meet these specs.
