In research and development, product for clinical trials is 100% weight checked for compliance. Traditionally this is slow, laborious and error-prone; it ties-up skilled technicians who could be doing more valuable work. In contrast, with a weight sorter every item is checked automatically in a rapid, reliable and unattended process.

In healthcare manufacturing, all organisations still experience some batches which are rejected due to weight issues or damaged product. These represent a large cost, in terms of wasted ingredients, production time and disposal. Using a precision weight sorter, an entire batch can be checked so that all the defective items are separated out and typically over 90% good product recovered.
