  • Anritsu Aerosol Checkweigher
    Aerosol Checkweigher For Pharmaceutical Applications

    Anritsu's aerosol checkweigher is engineered for accurate weighing of aerosol cans in pharmaceutical applications. It features a star wheel mechanism that feeds cans onto the weigh table at a constant speed and with uniform spacing. This design, combined with a high precision electromagnetic weigh cell, ensures a throughput of up to 150 cans per minute, with a weighing accuracy of ± 10 mg. The checkweigher has a compact footprint, integrating within the same frame a reject mechanism and confirmation function, ensuring that only correctly weighed products pass through. Underweight and overweight cans are automatically directed into two separate bins located beneath the weigh table. The system is compliant with federal regulation 21 CFR Part 11 for the integrity of electronic records and signatures, with features such as password authentication, audit trail of operation data, and encryption/decryption of exported data.

Catalysts

Catalysts work by changing the structure of a molecule or by bonding to reactant molecules causing them to combine, react, and release a product or energy.  For example, a catalyst is required in order for oxygen and hydrogen to bond, combine and produce water.

Catalysts increase the rate of chemical reactions. Unlike a reagent that gets consumed as apart of the chemical reaction, catalysts do not get consumed in the reaction. They can actually participate in multiple chemical transformations.Catalysts can be organic, synthetic or metal.

All processes need energy to take place. Processes require a very high level of energy in order to spark or start if a catalyst isn’t present.  When a catalyst is present the amount of energy required to spark the reaction is lowered and that makes the reaction happen faster and more efficiently.

Catalytic effects vary depending on other substances present that are a part of the chemical reactions. There are certain substances that can inhibit the effectiveness of a catalyst like poisons, and other substances that promote or increase the effect of the catalyst.  Inhibitors or negative catalysts are very important in medicine to treat mental illnesses, high blood pressure, cancer and many other diseases.

Catalysts are often used to help crack, or split, larger organic molecules like hydrocarbons into simpler molecules. It does this by breaking carbon-carbon bonds. The speed of the splitting process depends heavily on what specific catalyst is used and the temperature.  Applications of this technology include oil and petrochemical industries.
