The weighing of powders always presents a challenge, due to their variable nature and wide range of physical properties. Powders can vary greatly in density and particle size, leading to vastly different characteristics. For instance, they may be light and fluffy with a tendency to be electrostatically charged, heavy and free-flowing, crystalline with varying particle shapes, or sticky with a tendency to absorb moisture (hygroscopic). Some of these traits not only make these substances physically difficult to handle, but can also lead to weighing errors and incorrect measurements.
The weighing of powders is traditionally a manual operation and can be tedious and time consuming to perform. It can quickly become a bottleneck in a workflow, especially when weighing out multiple powders. The use of an automated powder scale, or balance, can help resolve this issue.
Accuracy and Ease of Handling
Manually weighing out powders with a spatula can be a difficult, slow and repetitive task, particularly when many samples have to be weighed. It also takes a lot of skill and experience to weigh accurately in the low milligram range as the physical properties of different powders vary considerably; statically charged or hygroscopic samples can make that task even more difficult.
Safety
Hazardous and toxic substances, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, can pose a risk to health, even at the nanogram level. It is very easy for particles to become airborne, especially when dealing with light, low density and fluffy compounds, which need to be handled with extreme care.
Data Management and Traceability
All measurement and process data must be fully traceable and securely stored, and readily accessible for audit purposes.
Would you like to weigh solid substances faster and avoid repetitive, time-consuming manual steps? Or perhaps you want to take advantage of the lower minimum weights offered by automated solutions and use much less of precious substances? Do you want to improve user safety due to reduced exposure risk?

Safety Benefits
Safety is a key advantage of the XPR Automatic Balance. Potentially harmful or unknown powders are stored in sealed dosing heads and simply clipped onto the balance when required, significantly reducing the exposure risk for the operator. Automated powder dispensing has a low risk of spillage and is carried out inside a closed system (draft shields). If necessary, the whole system can easily be placed inside a safety cabinet or glove box for a higher level of protection.
Increased Productivity
Precise and accurate dispensing of powders manually requires great concentration from the technician and has a high risk of human error, which can lead to out-of-specification (OOS) and out-of-tolerance (OOT) measurements. With automated weighing this error-risk is minimized and the operation is significantly faster.
Economical Substance Usage
Automated dispensing with the XPR Automatic Balance reduces the minimum net sample weight by up to 30%. This means possible saving of up to 75% of your valuable substance or rare samples, and consequently contributes to a fast return on investment.
Operation of the XPR Automatic Balance
The company is the world’s best Automatic Salt Powder Filling Machine supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
Automatic Documentation
The XPR Automatic Balance can be combined with LabX™ laboratory software for a full workflow solution offering the benefits of comprehensive data handling and sample tracking functionalities. All measurement and process data, including metadata, is stored in a secure centralized database and can be accessed instantly, so you can ensure that you are audit ready.
A fully automated system with high throughput may be appropriate for situations where many powders need to be weighed in small quantities, for example, for catalyst screening, formulation experiments or solubility screening. The CHRONECT XPR Robotic Powder Dispensing platform can accurately weigh up to 32 different powders into as many as 288 vials in a single batch. The system can simultaneously house up to three different plates accommodating between 36 (3 x 12) and 288 (3 x 96) vials or containers from 1 to 8 mL in volume.
Accutek also has syringe fillers that use a stepper motor to move the plunger, achieving very precise small (0.1 ml) dosage levels.
Our syringe filling machines are designed to meet the highest standards set by the pharmaceutical industry. With this kind of precision, you needn’t worry about dosage mistakes or loss of fluid due to fumbling.
The machines are capable of managing various syringe sizes, and due to its 0.1 ml lower cap on precision, they can handle a variety of doses as well. The machines were designed to be sanitary and accurate, so the doses would always be on point, and the fluid loss would be down to a bare minimum.
These machines are ideal for businesses that deal with pharmaceutical manufacturing, labs that require daily syringe filling and distribution but also suitable for other fast-paced and high-precision work.
With this kind of filling profile, we also need to ensure top-notch sanitary filling conditions. There is no chance of fluid contamination when using automated syringe filling machines, so the process is safe for both the manufacturer and the end-user.
If you have any questions, please contact us for additional information about purchasing and maintaining our syringe filling machines. Our goal is to fulfill the needs of all pharmaceutical, medical, and nutraceutical organizations.
Our fill-to-level or overflow fillers start with a semi-automatic filler that handles two bottles at a time. The next step in the fill-to-level series is an automatic machine called the Accutek APOF. This filling machine can be configured to fill up to twelve containers at a time.
The overflow filling machines are designed to ensure precise filling up to a designated level inside the container. Even when the containers vary slightly in size, the machine can detect the differences and ensure that all containers are filled to the same level. Both semi-automatic and automatic fillers work well with liquids of medium viscosity. They can also handle liquids that produce foam during filling.
These machines can handle containers of various sizes. The material of the container is also irrelevant as these devices can handle the filling of both glass and plastic beverage bottles. If your goal is to create a line of beverages that look good when aligned on the shelf, then these machines are a must-have.
They are fast, precise, and effective at what they do. The training required to become proficient at using them is not too extensive and can be handled without too much effort. Contact us for additional information about the overflow filling machines. Our support staff will make sure to clear up any dilemmas you may have and the purchasing options for this type of filling machine.
At the high-end, Accutek has a selection of rotary fillers that fill containers to level in a continuous process achieving maximum throughput.
These machines are suitable for filling tasks that require medium or high production rates. They are ideal solutions for granule and powdered products and can use one or more filling stations. The setup will largely depend on the product flow and the packaging used throughout the process.
The parts used for the construction of rotary filling machines from Accutek are made from food-grade stainless-steel parts. This means that whatever product they come in contact with will remain uncontaminated and safe for consumption. They can manage to fill a variety of products and can handle different volumes. Their filling capacity range is between 50 ml and ml per station. The machines can handle many different container types, and you’ll have unprecedented control over the filling speed. The automated filling process also ensures product longevity.
Accutek offers a variety of different rotary filling machines depending on your organization’s specific needs. We also offer support when it comes to the setup, use, and maintenance of our products. For more information, you can contact our support and sales staff, and they’ll make sure that you know what you are getting and if the machines can meet your specific requirements.
