Equipment for checking incoming materials and for engineering applications
Ensuring that all materials that will be used in the production process are exactly as ordered is the first step in production quality control. And engineering and development of new pharmaceutical products and solutions also requires great precision, especially in terms of establishing and reproducing the exact quantities of individual contents used.
Minebea Intec’s wide range of high-precision weighing equipment includes solutions for every such application – solutions that are efficient, reliable and fully compliant with the pharmaceutical industry’s strict quality and safety standards.

Precise quantity control during processing
Processing in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry requires precise control of quantities – both during production of active ingredients or drugs in primary processing, and, in secondary processing, during conversion of the active drugs into products suitable for administration. Minebea Intec’s range of weighing equipment, which includes bench and floor scales, and digital and hygienic solutions for weighing process vessels, has been optimised for such applications in any cleanroom environment.

Enhancing the efficiency of formulation and filling processes
Quantity control is vitally important in the pharmaceutical industry – especially for health, safety and product quality reasons, but also for commercial or stock monitoring purposes. The use of the appropriate quantity of each material must be ensured, requiring the use of high-accuracy filling and weighing equipment.
Minebea Intec’s fully automated filling and weighing solutions are designed to be seamlessly integrated into modern production processes. They can be easily calibrated, and offer the speed required while delivering the precision and reliability required to ensure the quality of the product and cost-effectiveness of the manufacturing process.

Checking and control during the packing stage
During packaging, the amount of finished product in individual packages and single products must often be checked for quality control purposes, and it may be sensible to check for contaminants.
Minebea Intec’s numerous weighing solutions have been optimised to meet the needs of drug manufacturers in their packaging operations, ensuring that the product leaving the factory will satisfy final customers’ expectations. Systematic recording of the details of all production steps can be transferred into the company’s quality control system and provide invaluable information in the event of a customer complaint or a product recall.

Final checking before delivery
Following packaging, pharmaceutical products can be stored until required and then transferred to Goods Out for delivery to customers. Here, reliable control and documentation of the product transfer is important for commercial and risk-avoidance reasons.
Completeness of orders must be confirmed, and over-delivery of product should also be avoided – checks which are especially important where secondary packaging is additionally required, or where multiple product types or package sizes are combined in a single delivery. Minebea Intec’s range of weighing solutions can meet all such demands, efficiently and cost-effectively.
