Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd is India’s largest and most profitable pharmaceutical company and is among the top 15 players worldwide for generic drugs. They trust in METTLER TOLEDO explosion-proof weighing terminals, platforms and compact scales which assist in smooth and trouble-free production.

When user safety is crucial
The demands on the production equipment of hazardous API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) are extremely high. Both operators and products need protection against contamination including airborne dust. At the Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories manufacturing plant, high containment barrier isolators were chosen to prevent contamination.
Since the raw materials being used in the process are toxic, corrosive and hazardous in nature, the weighing terminals have to be intrinsically safe, the load cells explosion-proof and all cables shielded (approved for Zone 1/21 or Division 1).
The right weighing equipment from one source
All weighing operations are performed in the isolator glove boxes. Raw material weighing can be easily accomplished by use of a PBA430x weighing platform in combination with an outside panel mounted ID3sTx terminal.
The mass determination of powdered intermediates requires appropriate high precision weighing equipment. The ID7xs terminal in combination with the KA15 (Kx-T4) weighing platform were chosen because they guarantee the best weighing performance in hazardous area.
Due to METTLER TOLEDO’s weighing expertise especially in hazardous area, it was possible to offer Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories the right weighing equipment.
