The European Union is providing measures designed to prevent counterfeit pharmaceuticals from entering into the legal supply chain.
For original equipment manufacturers of packaging machines for the pharmaceutical industry, this means the options will be to either convert existing systems or factor compliance with the requirements into the construction of new machines. The regulation will take effect in February 2019.
HBM says the simple solution to meet these requirements is to install checkweighers in the packaging machines.
Thanks to HBM’s flexible weighing technology, customers can choose between an In-the-Line solution or a multi-track application (serialisation) and an End-of-Line solution.
The In-the-Line solution consists of a compact measurement chain with strain gauge load cells and ‘plug & play’ electronics for smaller packaging units.
The End-of-Line solution (aggregation) is suitable for larger packaging units such as cartons or pallets.
