100% Capsule Checkweigher is a specialized machine used in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the accuracy of the weight of capsules during the manufacturing process. It essentially inspects 100% of capsules for proper filling and rejects any that are outside the acceptable weight range.
Feeding: Capsules are loaded into a hopper and then fed onto a conveyor belt or into individual lanes.
Weighing: Each capsule is weighed individually using a high-precision load cell.
Sorting: Based on the weight, capsules are categorized as:
Good: Capsules with a weight within the acceptable range are allowed to pass through.
Underweight or overweight: These capsules are rejected and diverted into a separate waste collection bin.
There are different types of capsule check weighers available, but they all share the same basic function of ensuring the weight of capsules meets quality control specifications.
