VT-CW20 Multi-Lane Capsule and Tablet Checkweigher

Product Overview

The VT-CW20 high-efficiency Multi-Lane Capsule and Tablet Checkweigher is a high-precision, high-throughput weight inspection system engineered exclusively for pharmaceutical solid dosage manufacturing. Designed to integrate seamlessly into capsule filling lines and tablet compression lines, this multi-lane Capsule and Tablet checkweigher delivers 100% in-line weight verification for hard capsules, softgels, tablets, and pills, ensuring compliance with cGMP, USP, and EP pharmacopeia standards. With 20 independent weighing lanes operating in parallel, the VT-CW20 achieves an industry-leading throughput of up to 150,000 pieces per hour while maintaining ±0.5mg weighing accuracy - making it the ideal checkweigher for medium to high-volume pharmaceutical production facilities in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

Key Applications and Industry Compliance

The multi-lane Capsule and Tablet Checkweigher addresses the critical quality control requirement of weight uniformity in solid dosage forms. Every capsule or tablet passing through the system is individually weighed and compared against pre-set upper and lower tolerance limits. Out-of-specification units are automatically diverted into a dedicated rejection bin without interrupting production flow. This checkweigher supports electronic signature (e-signature) and audit trail functionality in full alignment with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements, enabling pharmaceutical manufacturers to maintain complete data integrity and traceability throughout the production batch record. The system is suitable for capsule sizes ranging from 00# to 5#, round and oblong tablets from Φ5.5mm to Φ18mm, and pill products from Φ5.5mm to Φ12mm. Custom lane configurations and product-specific testing are available upon request.

Technical Advantages

Built with SUS304 stainless steel construction and a sanitary, tool-free disassembly design, the VT-CW20 Multi-Lane Checkweigher facilitates rapid product changeover and thorough cleaning between batches - essential for multi-product pharmaceutical facilities. The large color touchscreen HMI provides real-time per-lane weight data, statistical process control (SPC) charts, and batch reporting, with data exportable via USB or LAN for quality documentation. Three-tier user access management (operator, supervisor, administrator) with password protection prevents unauthorized parameter adjustments. The weighing system incorporates advanced temperature compensation algorithms to maintain accuracy even when ambient conditions fluctuate within the specified 15–30°C operating range. Compressed-air-driven rejection ensures clean, non-contact removal of defective units without damaging good product.
