The Power of Precision: Mobile Weighing Solutions for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

In today’s fast-paced pharmaceutical industry, precision, flexibility, and efficiency are more critical than ever. Manufacturing facilities are constantly looking for solutions that not only streamline their processes but also ensure the highest standards of accuracy. One excellent example is the mobile weighing system developed by Minebea Intec, combining Combics 3 indicators with high-resolution platforms.

In this article, we’ll explore how this solution enhances pharmaceutical production, focusing on granulation processes, and how it can revolutionize the industry.

The Challenge: Accuracy in a Flexible Environment

A leading pharmaceutical company in Southeast Europe needed a solution that could handle various products during their granulation process. The requirements were clear:

High precision weighing
Flexibility to operate in clean rooms
Portability for ease of use across different areas of the facility
Ability to handle both small and large batches, from single tablets to entire product lots

With 12,000 employees and products that are used by more than 45 million patients in over 70 countries, the manufacturer could not compromise on quality.

The Solution: Minebea Intec’s Combics 3 Mobile Weighing System

To meet this challenge, Minebea Intec’s Combics 3 indicator was paired with the ISEDE64-H platform using Electromagnetic Force Compensation (EMFC) technology, offering an exceptional resolution of 0.1g. The system is specifically designed to provide precision across a wide range of weights, making it suitable for both small and large batches of pharmaceuticals.

Key Features:

High-precision results: The system can accurately measure products ranging from a single tablet to full batches, ensuring uniformity and consistency in production.
Portability: Equipped with wheels and a durable stainless-steel platform, the scale is mobile, providing flexible and efficient operation in various locations throughout the facility.
Battery Operation: Capable of running for up to 24 hours without needing to be recharged, this feature makes the unit ideal for continuous operations in clean room environments.
Low Maintenance: The robust design, coupled with easy-to-change components, minimizes downtime, service, and maintenance costs.
User-Friendly Design: The operator has easy access to all parts of the system, making adjustments and operations simple and efficient.

The result is a mobile weighing system that not only meets the company’s stringent accuracy requirements but also provides the flexibility to adapt to their growing production needs.

Additional Benefits:

Space-Saving: The mobile design allows the system to substitute for multiple floor scales, reducing clutter and optimizing workspace utilization.
Network Connectivity: With an Ethernet port, the system can be connected to internal production control networks, ensuring seamless integration into the manufacturing process and future-proofing the operation for more digital workflows.

Why Mobile Weighing Matters for the Pharmaceutical Industry

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, precision is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Any variance in weight, particularly in sensitive processes like granulation, can lead to significant issues with product quality, compliance, and patient safety. Mobile weighing systems offer several advantages that make them indispensable in this environment:

Versatility: From handling small batches in clean rooms to weighing large quantities in production areas, mobile scales provide the adaptability required for a dynamic production process.
Compliance: Accurate, precise measurements are crucial for meeting regulatory standards, which are especially stringent in the pharmaceutical industry.
Operational Efficiency: By integrating a mobile weighing system, manufacturers can streamline processes, reduce the need for multiple scales, and minimize operational delays.
