Ensuring data integrity has become an important subject given the increasing importance of information security and the daily news about hackers and data breaches. The FDA and other inspection authorities are increasingly focusing on data integrity. But what does data integrity mean? Data integrity has a significant impact on the quality of raw materials and end products. You always aim for the best quality of the product, but is your process fully transparent? Data integrity is all about the traceability of your products and data protection. Risk management is key to achieve compliance with ISO 9001:2015 requirements. Step-by-step registration of your products results in traceable processes which helps to increase product reliability and to reduce risks. Guarantee the quality of your raw materials and end products by ensuring data integrity. Which consequences for your operational processes do you need to consider and how can you achieve compliance with this…

Allergen in Food industry Food allergies are on the rise. As a result, concerned consumers, retailers and government inspectors are more conscious of increasing allergen risks in food production as well as effective allergen communication. On September 24th SGS and METTLER TOLEDO organize a live webinar in which they will present the results of the SGS industry survey on challenges, needs and gaps in allergen management. We will explain how the right weighing solutions and services can help you reduce allergen and labeling risk. We will also discuss how to optimize communication on allergen risks to consumers. Got interested? Register on our website to join this webinar.

Mettler-Toledo has grown the proven product range of the Pinmount weigh module family with a 100-ton model. The new weigh module for heavy capacity tanks offers dual integrated safety features. Its rocker-pin load introduction ensures high accuracy plus horizontal tank expansion and contraction to compensate for temperature effects. The Pinmount weigh module family consists of seven models with capacities from 7.5 tons up to 100 tons. They are designed for building of tank, vessel, vehicle and conveyor scales with a high safety standard. ATEX and FM approvals allow for use in explosive environments. Their hermetically sealed stainless-steel load cells meet IP68 protection standards to ensure long life in harsh environments. Double Security Their dual anti-lift-up devices protect tanks and conveyors from tipping over in case of strong wind forces or seismic activity. Several integrated safeguards provide security in cases of extreme overload. Two optional stabilizers…

Performance of Loss in Weight Feeders depends on accuracy, linearity, stability, drift and quantity of raw material in the hopper. Weigh modules with MonoBloc Technology meet these requirements perfectly. Improve performance of your equipment with high resolution weigh modules which will expand time of uninterrupted operation at the highest accuracy. The performance of feeders range from 100g up to 50,000 kg per hour. The accuracy ranges from 0.25 to 1 %. The maximum achievable accuracy depends on the properties of the material being dispensed. A characteristic of loss in weight feeders is the cyclical change between controlled gravimetric dispensing and uncontrolled volumetric dispensing during refilling. The uncontrolled volumetric dispensing during refilling has to be kept as brief as possible in order to achieve accurate results. An suitable electronic feeder control and a conveyor, which fits to the material properties of the dispensed product, can strongly…

What happens if a load cell is damaged during production? The process may be shut down, material may be wasted and costs may increase. The TraxEMT software detects failure in an early stage or enables the process to continue despite a failure. What happens if a damaged load cell is detected during production? Is the process shut down?,Is material wasted? Are costs increased? Or, even worse, what happens if a damaged load cell has not been detected? A broken or damaged load cell can be impossible to detect or predict. Only once batches start appearing out of specification or the weighing results appears unstable do you get an idea that there might be a problem. Then you need to call out a service technician to identify and repair or replace the broken load cell. This can result in lost production time and disappointed customers. This is where TraxEMT™ can help. With its predictive failure analysis and Run Flat system failure recovery embedded technology…
