Our dynamic pharmaceutical checkweigher
How to find the ideal weighing system for the pharmaceutical industry
One of the most fundamental principles in all areas of healthcare is the duty to provide the best care possible. Here at Wipotec, we have integrated this guiding principle into the design of every pharmaceutical checkweigher. After all, ensuring a patient’s well-being also requires medicines to be absolutely reliable. The best way to check this is to use a dynamic weighing system at the end of the production line. Our pharmaceutical checkweighers are designed precisely for your industry.
Wipotec pharmaceutical scales weigh both pre-packaged drugs and separate medicinal products and are known for their extraordinarily high weighing accuracy. Our packaging inspection devices for the pharmaceutical industry cover a wide range and can be fully tailored to specific applications due to their modularity. You also benefit from our many years of experience as an industry leader. Our team has been involved in numerous serialization projects in various countries since the beginning and knows which regulations dynamic checkweighers for pharmaceuticals must comply with.

Maximum safety with pharmaceutical checkweighers in the industry
The correct dosage of all active ingredients remains a delicate matter in the case of medicines. Quality issues and unfavorable side effects have always plagued the process. In Germany, for example, the number of suspected instances continues to rise, and according to Pharmacy Commission reports, it has even increased recently. Our packaging inspection devices for the pharmaceutical industry have been combatting this devastating trend all along.
Automatic weighing technology is therefore mandatory. As a manufacturer of medicines, you are responsible for your products. Before these reach the market and the consumer, a number of requirements must be met. The key to maintaining your usual standards is, above all, the appropriate filling level and completeness check using a dynamic pharmaceutical checkweigher.
Pharmazeutische Kontrollwaagen der Serien E / M / A von Wipotec arbeiten so schnell wie präzise. Diese flexiblen Wiegesysteme sorgen dafür, dass Überfüllung ausbleibt und Ihr Unternehmen künftig keine kostbaren Inhaltsstoffe mehr gratis verschenkt. Gleichzeitig eliminieren wir Unterfüllung und stellen Ihre Kundschaft zufrieden. Der Einsatz einer unserer dynamischen Pharma Waagen kann die Wahrnehmung Ihrer Marke also sehr positiv beeinflussen.
Our checkweigher solutions cover a wide range of products. Even for extremely light items or individual tablets, we deliver weighing results in the milligram range. As a result, a Wipotec checkweigher for pharmaceuticals can not only indicate the exact quantity of blisters in sealed folding boxes, but also confirm the existence of the information leaflet – naturally at the highest speeds.
Application of our dynamic checkweighers for solid pharmaceutical products
Solid medicines in the form of tablets, granules or powder make up a significant proportion of the total range. The production of these solid products requires special dynamic weighing solutions and packaging inspection devices for the pharmaceutical industry. So, we give a more in-depth look at the efficient production procedures in the video and accompanying webcast. You will learn about our dual-lane pharmaceutical checkweigher from the HC-A-MI series, which is ideal for light medicines in stick packs or small folding boxes.
Dedicated upper and lower runners guide the packs safely onto the weighing belt. Accurate product transport by Wipotec’s pharmaceutical checkweighers allows for throughputs of over 500 items per minute. This top performance also applies to all integrated inspection modules. The best weighing accuracy is guaranteed and other tests such as the detection of open tabs or an inspection for foreign bodies are no problem for your new dynamic weighing system.
Infobox: The advantages of a modular weighing system
TQS stands for our Traceable Quality System, which is a modular system allowing you to configure your pharmaceutical checkweighers with unparalleled flexibility. The basic versions of our packaging inspection devices for the pharmaceutical industry can be expanded almost at will and thus perfectly adapted to your individual requirements.
The video, for example, shows a customized ejection in which a pedal with a servo drive handles the defective items. The major advantage? Our holistic weighing system combines all your modules in a single interface. Save yourself the inconvenience of teaching in individual parts.

Performance range of our pharmaceutical checkweighers for liquids
Packaging for liquid pharmaceuticals can pose a real challenge for production control mechanisms. The narrow cans or vials containing medicines often have an extremely small footprint, which requires your industry pharmaceutical checkweigher to have a similarly stable handling as liquids in the food sector. This is the only way to ensure reliable measurement results over the long term. In the video, we feature our HC-A with integrated separation using a star wheel, which is capable of weighing four products simultaneously using dynamic weighing technology.
We now use metal containers in this exemplary application. However, your Wipotec pharmaceutical scales can handle glass or plastic sleeves just as effortlessly. Glass containers especially prove to be difficult for many pharmaceutical checkweighers due to varying wall thicknesses. That is why our checkweighers rely on the tare-gross method when handling liquids. In the pharmaceutical sector, we use two dynamic checkweighers that are in constant contact with each other. The tare weight determined at the outset forms the basis for confirming the net contents by subtracting this value after filling.
Infobox: Marking up to serialization
Correctly marking your products is a significant step towards achieving your safety goals. Our packaging inspection devices for the pharmaceutical industry can be supplemented at any time with the necessary modules for printing and inspection. Here, for example, we can dynamically print human-readable data – as shown in the video – on the bottom of a medicine can or apply the legally required codes for serialization.
Our pharmaceutical checkweighers often also work directly with a labeling device. If you wish to protect folding cartons containing medicines against tampering permanently, we secure the tuck-in flaps with suitable tamper-evident labels. In combination with your dynamic checkweigher for pharmaceuticals, you minimize economic and health damage and increase trust in your brand. Our systems enable a complete inspection.

Your pharmaceutical scales with high-precision EMFR Weigh Cell
EMFR stands for Electro-Magnetic Force Restoration, the principle behind Wipotec’s dynamic weighing technology. Our pharmaceutical checkweighers function (in very simplified terms) like a highly complex beam balance. Unlike the use of strain gauges, this type of Weigh Cell has a number of advantages. The most significant aspect for pharmaceutical checkweighers in this industry is without a doubt highly accurate weight determination.
Depending on the configuration selected, our pharmaceutical scales reliably cover pharmaceuticals with a mass of 1 milligram as well as medical products weighing up to 120 kilograms. At the same time, our checkweigher solutions are compact in design and can be integrated into your production system as stand-alone systems or integration kits in order to save space. The Weigh Cells in our packaging inspection devices for the pharmaceutical industry also impress with their minimal settling times.
