Garvens is the global leader in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical checkweighers, with many years of experience in producing highly effective pharmaceutical checkweighing solutions. They are specifically designed to increase productivity, reduce downtime, enhance security and allow for greater flexibility and integration into demanding pharmaceutical production processes.

 Garvens StarWeigh XS Checkweigher

The StarWeigh XS is a unique and highly precise rotary checkweighing system delivering laboratory accuracies at high production throughput rates. The StarWeigh XS checkweigher is the first choice when weighing high value, lightweight and unusually shaped products or containers. This checkweigher is optimal for use in the pharmaceutical and personal care industries.

A notable feature of the StarWeigh XS checkweigher design is that it can be used without interrupting the production line by straddling the existing conveyor. This enables extremely simple, fast and space saving integration. The StarWeigh XS checkweigher operates in an intermittent weighing cycle with a rotary product flow - optimal for unstable products with a small footprint.

The flexible product handling design, combined with the highly intuitive 15" colour touchscreen interface, reduces the time and effort required for product changes to an absolute minimum. One benefit of this is considerably less downtime. The starwheel ensures safe product handling and tracking and integrates product rejection within the intermittent rotary cycle.

The industry proven, modular design can be enhanced with the full range of software options and accessories available. This allows you to tailor the checkweigher to your specific application requirements. It is particularly service friendly, cutting maintenance time to an absolute minimum and significantly reducing downtime.

The XMV Marking and Verification system is a complete serialisation solution giving Track & Trace capabilities to existing or new production lines. All components, which include ink jet printing or laser marking systems, high-resolution verification cameras, mechanical transfer units and sorting devices, have been finely tuned to work in perfect unison enabling you to meet global serialisation, E-Pedigree and Track & Trace legal requirements and specifications.

The XMV’s high precision mechanical transfer unit takes the carton direct from the cartoner and transfers it to the printer in the optimal position for serialisation marking. The marking is verified for legibility and correctness using a very sensitive optical camera system. The XMV can optionally detect if the carton has open flaps or is not correctly aligned to protect the printer head and downstream bundle packaging equipment. All cartons where the marking cannot be 100% verified as being "good" are reliably rejected into the lockable catch bin. Finally all “good” cartons are safely transferred to the customer's conveyor for further processing.

This system’s industry proven, modular design can be fitted with a wide range of world leading marking and optical verification devices. This allows you to tailor the XMV to your specific application and trusted equipment supplier requirements. One touchscreen interface makes product change, download of printing information and camera adjustments simple and fast thereby reducing downtime.

The XMV system with its very precise mechanical transfer unit and extremely reliable marking, verification and sorting devices has been designed to process high production volumes to ensure that it has no negative effect on your operating equipment effectiveness and overall line efficiency.

The weighing section ensures highest weighing accuracy at maximum throughput and is suitable for weighing products up to 600g, allowing for the best adaptation of the technical parameters of dynamic weighing to customers' requirements.

The XS2 MV checkweigher can be easily integrated into new production lines or added to upgrade existing lines, providing a full range of functions and user-friendliness while simultaneously reducing the complexity of your packaging process.

The collapsible boxes are transferred directly from the cartoner by means of a mechanical transfer unit. Thanks to the wide range of setting options, the system can be adjusted to different box dimensions in a matter of seconds. An ink jet or laser system prints unique data such as, batch codes, expiry dates and 2D barcodes in a very high quality on the side of the collapsible box. The camera system verifies the printed data and saves this in an internal database. A dynamic weighing section ensures highest weighing accuracy to hit the target weight and ensure completeness of all products being weighed. Illegible or poor quality products are removed reliably and accurately. The easy-to-use and highly adjustable components, the central user interface for product changeover and the rapid print cartridge replacement all ensure that set-up times are kept to a minimum, ensuring maximum availability.
