Glass vials and bottles are among the most common packaging choices in the pharmaceutical industry. However, they present unique challenges during weighing processes. As outlined in the following key insight:

"Glass containers are subject to fluctuations in tare weight. Any weighing of packed products must consider this. Therefore, installing a precise tare/gross weighing solution is smart. This will obtain meaningful weight results on the filled net content. All you need are two precise checkweighers and communication between."

Due to manufacturing tolerances, glass containers can have slight variations in their tare weight. These fluctuations can distort net content measurements without a precise tare/gross weighing system. Our advanced checkweigher solution tackles this issue directly, providing an inline solution that measures tare and gross weights in sequence, ensuring that only correctly filled products are approved, and any that fall outside tolerance levels are safely rejected.
