Checking of incoming materials
Ensuring that all materials that will be used in the production process are exactly as ordered is the first step in production quality control. If not, the integrity of the entire manufacturing process is at risk before it begins, and the quality of the end product is already jeopardised.
Minebea Intec has everything needed to check incoming goods and stored materials for weight content and foreign bodies – efficiently, reliably and fully compliant with the chemical industry’s strict quality and safety standards.

Equipment for R&D, quality control and engineering applications
Engineering work, such as research and development in particular, plays an important role in the chemical industry, and requires the use of highly accurate weighing equipment. Minebea Intec’s wide range of industrial scales includes solutions for every such application, no matter what the material, weight or required precision.
Quality control is vitally important in the chemical industry – especially for health, safety and product quality reasons, but also for commercial or stock monitoring purposes. The use of the appropriate quantities of the correct materials must be ensured, generally requiring the use of high-accuracy weighing equipment. Minebea Intec’s range of weighing products has a solution for almost every need, helping make quality control and checking processes efficient, effective and reliable.

Automated equipment for the production process
Automation of processes in the chemical industry is continually increasing, and weighing and batching operations are critically important in this industry. Minebea Intec’s fully automated weighing, batching and mixing solutions are designed to be seamlessly integrated into modern production processes – easily calibrated, and with the speed required to avoid slowing down the whole operation. They help ensure process and product safety, e.g. in relation to explosion protection. And, of course, they offer the precision and reliability required to ensure the quality of the product and cost-effectiveness of the manufacturing process.

Filling, weighing and checking during the packing stage
During packaging – often the last point at which contamination can enter the product – the amount of finished product placed in individual packages must be reliably measured, and amounts must often be checked separately for quality control purposes. Minebea Intec’s numerous filling, weighing and inspection solutions have been optimised to meet the needs of chemicals manufacturers in their packaging operations, ensuring that the product leaving the factory will satisfy final customers´expectations. Systematic recording of the details of all production steps can be transferred into the company’s quality control system and provide invaluable information in the event of a customer complaint or a product recall.

Final checking before delivery
Once chemical products have been packaged, they can be stored until required and then transferred to Goods Out for delivery to customers. Here, reliable control and documentation of the product transfer is important for commercial and risk-avoidance reasons. Completeness of orders must be confirmed, and over-delivery of product should also be avoided – checks which are especially important where secondary packaging is additionally required. Various weighing and inspection solutions from Minebea Intec can be found at this final stage of the manufacturing process, which can be related to checkweighing applications, especially where multiple product types or package sizes are combined in a single delivery, final foreign body control, and also solutions for truck weighing.
