Sustainable Checkweighers for Food & Pharma

Introduction

The food and pharmaceutical industries face increasing pressure to adopt eco-friendly manufacturing practices while maintaining strict quality control. Sustainable checkweighers address these challenges

by reducing energy consumption, material waste, and carbon footprint without compromising accuracy, compliance, or throughput.

These advanced systems integrate energy-efficient components, recyclable materials, and smart

optimization algorithms to meet GMP, FDA, and HACCP standards while supporting corporate

sustainability goals.

Industry-Specific Benefits

✔ Food Industry Applications

• Reduces food waste by optimizing portion control (±0.5g accuracy)

• Washdown-safe sustainable materials (IP69K-rated, corrosion-resistant)

• Compliance with food safety standards (HACCP, BRC, IFS)

Example: A snack manufacturer reduced annual almond giveaway by 2.7 tons after installing an

AI-optimized checkweigher.

✔ Pharmaceutical Industry Applications

• Validated for GMP/GLP with 21 CFR Part 11-compliant data logging

• Prevents medication waste through ultra-precise dosing (±0.05g accuracy)

• Cleanroom-compatible (ISO Class 5 certified, low particulate emission)

Example: A vaccine producer cut glass vial overfilling by 1.2%, saving $420,000/year in raw materials.

Conclusion

Sustainable checkweighers help food and pharma companies meet ESG goals while improving

accuracy and compliance. Key advantages:

✅ 2–12 month ROI from waste/energy savings
✅ Regulatory-ready for FDA, EU GMP, and sustainability standards
✅ Scalable designs from pilot plants to full production

Recommended for:

• Food producers targeting zero-waste manufacturing

• Pharma companies needing GMP-compliant green solutions

• Facilities pursuing LEED or ISO 14001 certification
