Industrial Weighing
What is food?
Food is "any substance or product, whether processed, partially processed or unprocessed, intended to be, or reasonably expected to be ingested by humans".
Cosmetics, medicines and tobacco products are not food.
(as per Chapter I, Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament)
![Page 4: Webinar Slides: Hygienic Load Cells for Level by …...2015/02/26 · Industrial Weighing • ICH Q10 describes one comprehensive approach to an effective pharmaceutical quality system](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081407/5f251579ba792616210d5385/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Industrial Weighing
What are pharmaceuticals?
A pharmaceutical drug, also referred to as medicine, medication or medicament, can be loosely defined as any chemical substance intended for use in the medical diagnosis, cure, treatment or prevention of disease. [1]
[1] US Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
Pharmaceutical products – more commonly known as medicines or drugs – are a fundamental component of both modern and traditional medicine. It is essential that such products are safe, effective, and of good quality, and are prescribed and used rationally [2]
[2] (as per WHO website)

Industrial Weighing
Why is hygiene a concern?
• By its nature food and pharmaceuticalscan spoil, posing a risk to humans in the form of contamination.
• Contamination can be chemical, biological or physical, but for weighing technology, (micro)biological contamination from bacteria or viruses is key.
• Food and Pharmaceuticals can be contaminated with bacteria during production
(as per Chapter I, Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament)
![Page 6: Webinar Slides: Hygienic Load Cells for Level by …...2015/02/26 · Industrial Weighing • ICH Q10 describes one comprehensive approach to an effective pharmaceutical quality system](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081407/5f251579ba792616210d5385/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Industrial Weighing
Why is hygiene a concern?
• Bacteria and viruses multiply very quickly under certain conditions and part of their food comes from the contents of the food or medicine.
• In doing so they release substances that make the food inedible.
• Bacteria can also cause direct harm to the human organism.

Protection of consumers
• Different regulations have been put into force with the aim of protecting consumers from contamination.
• These laws and regulations require food and pharma manufacturers to undertake specific measures that ensure that their products have been produced under hygienic conditions.

Industrial Weighing
Hygienic aspects of weighing technology
• Platform scales can have direct contact with food (contact with product).
• The components of vessel scales do not normally have contact with food (no contact with product).
• Technical weighing components can be sources of microbiological contamination whether they have contact with the product or not.
• The manufacturer of the weighing technology must ensure that the risk of contamination in the process is minimised.
• The scale operator must ensure that contamination in the process is minimised e.g. by cleaning the equipment.

Industrial Weighing
• ICH Q10 describes one comprehensive approach to an effective pharmaceutical quality system that is based on ISO concepts, includes applicable Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations and complements ICH Q8 “Pharmaceutical Development” and ICH Q9 “Quality Risk Management”.
• ICH Q10 is a model for a pharmaceutical quality system that can be implemented throughout the different stages of a product lifecycle. Much of the content of ICH Q10 applicable to manufacturing sites is currently specified by regional GMP requirements. ICH Q10 is not intended to create any new expectations beyond current regulatory requirements. Consequently, the content of ICH Q10 that is additional to current GMP requirements is optional

HACCP
• HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a system for controlling food safety hazards
• The system comprises seven principles
• A critical control point (CCP) is a point in the production chain at which product defects and health risks can be ruled out through monitoring
• The HACCP system requires the definition of thresholds, verifications and documentation
![Page 32: Webinar Slides: Hygienic Load Cells for Level by …...2015/02/26 · Industrial Weighing • ICH Q10 describes one comprehensive approach to an effective pharmaceutical quality system](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081407/5f251579ba792616210d5385/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Industrial Weighing
HACCP has seven principles:
1) Identification of hazards: biological, chemical, toxic, physical (e.g. broken glass)
2) Specification of critical control points, e.g. formulation, baking, packaging
3) Specification of thresholds for the CCPs, e.g. temperature and time for baking
4) Procedure for monitoring CCPs (measurement technique)
5) Correctional measures for cases where a point has not passed controls, e.g. rejecting or reprocessing products when temperature fluctuations have occurred
6) Verification measures for testing the system7) Documentation for validating the system
HACCP

Potential risks for process weighing technology:
• Dosing error during manual filling• Dosing error caused by incorrect formula entries during automatic filling• Dosing error caused by weighing equipment inaccuracies• Microbiological contamination of the product caused by

Principles of "hygienic design"
Definition (as per EHEDG): Design of components and devices with special attention to cleanability.Objective: for equipment to be easy to clean
- Materials (stainless steel, plastic)- Surface finish (smooth, even)- Self-draining (tilted surfaces)- Accessibility (cleaning, maintenance)- Avoidance of screws and gaps- Resistance to products andcleaning agents

International Food Standard (IFS)
The objective is to ensure food safety Brought into force in 2003 by large European retailers The IFS is a standardised evaluation system for auditing all food
manufacturers which supply products for retailers Based on the ISO 9001:2008 quality management standard as well as
the "Good manufacturing practice" (GMP) and HACCP The recent IFS version 6 contains 10 knock-out criteria with which a
certificate would be denied. www.ifs-certification.com

The Challenge
To make use of the essentials of „Hygienic Design“ by designing load cells and mounting kits.
The solutions must take into account the actual problems and given circumstances, but without limitation of functionality!

Industrial Weighing
Bellows protect the strain gauges but attract dirt and dust and can be
damaged easily
any holes, slots and open threads attract dirt and bacteria and are hard
to reach for cleaning
all horizontal surfaces lead to build up of solids and liquids
Varnished surfaces do not withstand the aggressive cleaning

Hygienic Design in Detail
- O-ring to seal the contact surfaces between weighing module / container leg and weighing module / foundation.
- The specially designed connection geometry between the Silicone cover and the connection plates ensures a reliable sealing of the dust and water resistant internal space. This has been tested and certified by an external institute.
- The weighing module can be installed directly on the foundation or in connection with the optional mounting plate. On coated floors the mounting plate can be mounded.
