Precision is important in the production of food supplements. When Vital Products GmbH, a leading contract manufacturer of nutritional supplements, was looking for a precise and efficient solution to check the weight and ensure the completeness of its products, the main objective was to reinforce the company's high quality standards using reliable technologies.
Minebea Intec’s checkweigher and software support quality compliance in Vital Products’ food supplements.
Minebea Intec supplied its Flexus® WS 1 kg checkweigher with the powerful SPC@Enterprise software solution to meet the needs of this application. This combination enables precise weight control and comprehensive process monitoring and analysis.
The Flexus® checkweigher checks the weight of the plastic bottles accurately to ensure that each product meets the defined specifications. At the same time, the check scale performs a completeness check to ensure that all containers are filled correctly. The seamless integration of the SPC@Enterprise software allows Vital Products to evaluate the required production data in detail, identify weak points and optimise processes.
The advantages are clear: quality assurance and greater efficiency with simple operation and seamless integration of the software into the production process. The detailed data analysis means quality standards can be easily monitored and met, and it facilitates audits. This strengthens internal process reliability and end customers’ confidence in the products produced by Vital Products.
The company was pleased with the solution supplied, noting particularly the reliability of the checkweighers and the support of the Minebea Intec Service and Support team. This positive experience led to a further enquiry: two additional checkweighers are to be added to the production lines so the entire production plant will be equipped with Minebea Intec's technology.
A customised solution
The project demonstrates how Minebea Intec creates added value through its innovative solutions and customer-oriented service. The combination of precision, efficiency and process control has improved production quality at Vital Products and laid the foundation for a long-term partnership. This is an example of how customised solutions from Minebea Intec can help to meet demanding customer requirements and deliver a competitive advantage.
Rainer Skotnik, Managing Director at Vital Products GmbH, comments: "The solutions of Minebea Intec, especially the Flexus checkweigher, have significantly improved our product quality and processes. Precision, reliability and excellent service are convincing across the board. "
