Weighing applications in pharmaceutical production can strongly influence the quality and integrity of the final product. As such, the main focus is usually on making sure that the equipment fits the defined process quality requirements and complies with regulations.


Today, production managers are under increasing pressure to improve the efficiency and productivity of their production processes. Every step of the process is under constant scrutiny to identify efficiency improvement potentials. However, it is often not easy to align quality and productivity goals.


METTLER TOLEDO's high-precision PBK9 bench and PFK9 floor weighing platforms offer new possibilities for improving the efficiency of many manual and automatic weighing applications, while ensuring consistent accuracy of the process:

  • The weighing platforms combine a large weighing range with unmatched precision. In a dispensing room, for example, one PBK9 platform could replace two conventional platforms. This not only leads to savings in investment and maintenance cost, but also frees valuable operating space, which is especially critical in confined workplaces.
  • The PBK9 and PFK9 feature industry-leading stabilization times and an extremely fast data transfer rate of 92 updates per second. This is critical for automated high-speed weighing processes, such as filling and checkweighing, which can replace manual or semi-automatic weighing applications.
  • The weighing platforms can be directly connected via plug-in cables to any process-control system. This enables leaner, more flexible and more cost-effective installations of automated weighing systems.
  • Thorough equipment cleaning is a critical and time-consuming activity. These weighing platforms are designed for fast and effective cleaning, contributing to a more efficient process.
