Weight check
January 1st 2008

At Norgine's pharmaceutical production plant in Wales checkweighers from CI Electronics have been operating reliably for more than 10 years and, within the last five years, the company has invested in capsule weight sorters.

Twelve QM-4B sample check weighers are in use; some have an integral bowl feeder and CI weight head, while others operate with separate top pan balances.

The checkweighers monitor output from tablet compression machines, capsule fillers and sachet filling lines. Each QM-4B control unit performs statistical analysis, the results of which are then printed on dedicated printers.
