Producing a diverse range of generic prescription topical, injectable and ophthalmic pharmaceuticals, New Jersey, Toronto-based Teligent built their success on a culture of quality.

To automate inspection on their high-throughput tube line, they turned to Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed and selected a customized XS1 checkweigher with a two-lane configuration that matches Teligent’s dual-lane filler. Detecting and rejecting under- and over-filled tubes, this checkweigher helps Teligent ensure final product quality and provides data to improve yields.

“Mettler-Toledo modified their standard one-lane XS1 to meet our line requirements, designing two lanes with a weigh cell under each one. By complementing our dual-lane filler, the machines were easy to integrate,” explains Mike Bertonazzi, Packaging Supervisor. “This checkweigher handles our high speeds in a small footprint with phenomenal accuracy.”

The XS1 cab achieve an accuracy of +/- 20 mg with a throughput of up to 400 packages/min by using advanced electromagnetic force restoration (EMFR) weigh cells, instead of common strain gauge load cells.

“We have very high standards at Teligent, and the accuracy of this checkweigher helps us meet those standards,” says Ehor Andrasz, Packaging Mechanic. “Laminate tubes don’t seal properly if they are overfilled, so we reject overfills as well as underfills. The system has two reject devices, one for each lane. We segregate rejected packages, which helps us ensure final product quality.”
