Weighing and dosing systems

Glatt’s weighing and dosing systems ensure precise material handling, reproducible formulations and safe operation across all stages of pharmaceutical production.

Why accurate weighing and dosing matter in pharmaceutical processes

In modern pharmaceutical manufacturing, precision is non‑negotiable. Every active ingredient, excipient and additive must first be weighed correctly and accurately using a suitable weighing system during the production and processing of particles from powders or liquids, and then reliably dosed to meet strict quality and regulatory requirements.

Glatt considers weighing and dosing to be two closely linked but clearly distinct process functions. Weighing – whether automated or manual weighing – ensures correct formulation and traceable documentation.
Dosing controls how the weighed material is introduced into downstream processes such as mixing, granulating or tableting.

A high‑performance dosing system ensures:

Reproducible material flow
Minimized formulation deviations
Reliable batch‑to‑batch consistency
Enhanced process safety

Together, accurate weighing and controlled dosing improve product quality, reduce material losses, optimize production timelines and support full GMP‑compliant documentation and traceability.

Weighing and dosing systems for every pharmaceutical application

Glatt offers a comprehensive portfolio of weighing and dosing systems designed to meet the diverse requirements of pharmaceutical production. Our solutions support automatic processes as well as manual weighing, small and large components, and seamless integration into digital and highly automated process environments.

Depending on material properties, throughput and process design, Glatt provides dedicated dosing technologies such as feed screws, rotary feeders and vibration dosing systems. These systems regulate material flow precisely and repeatably, even when handling free‑flowing, cohesive or sensitive materials.

Weighing systems – precise material measurement

Glatt offers robust weighing systems that accurately determine material quantities prior to processing. These weighing system platforms integrate seamlessly into filling, transfer and discharge operations.

Depending on layout and installation requirements, systems can be configured as floor‑flush or free‑standing units and are designed to provide reliable, reproducible weighing in high‑throughput and GMP‑regulated environments.

Dosing systems – controlled feeding into the process

Once materials have been accurately weighed, Glatt dosing systems take over the next critical task: controlled material transfer into downstream processes. Our dosing solutions ensure stable, synchronized and reproducible feeding into mixers, granulators or other process equipment.

This controlled dosing step is essential for maintaining process stability, consistent product quality and predictable production performance.

Designed for seamless integration into pharmaceutical workflows

Glatt’s weighing and dosing systems are engineered to integrate smoothly into complete product handling lines. From manual feeding stations to fully automated sequences involving IBCs, mixers and upstream or downstream equipment, the system design supports all levels of process complexity.

Compatibility with vertical and horizontal material flow concepts allows manufacturers to optimize space usage, containment strategies and overall operational efficiency. High‑quality stainless‑steel construction and easy‑to‑clean components ensure long‑term compliance with pharmaceutical hygiene standards.

Custom engineered solutions to meet your production requirements

Every pharmaceutical product places unique demands on weighing and dosing. Glatt therefore develops application‑specific solutions that combine the right weighing system, dosing technology, automation level and documentation concept.

Depending on your operational and regulatory requirements, systems may include:

Automated or manual weighing and dosing concepts
Integrated process control and visualization interfaces
Batch documentation and traceability modules
Customized containment concepts
Manual or automated docking and transfer solutions

With extensive engineering experience from global installations, Glatt adapts each weighing and dosing system precisely to your material properties, throughput requirements and facility layout.
