The Cost of a Rejected Pharmaceutical Batch

With modern manufacturing equipment, rejected batches are far less common than they used to be. But even with the best machinery and processes, they cannot be avoided entirely. A reject batch represents a waste of valuable production time and ingredients, while disposal is an additional cost and may impact your environmental targets. If you do not have enough API or room in your schedule to run another batch, it may even prevent you from meeting delivery commitments.

100% Weight Sorting for GMP-Compliant Batch Recovery

SADE SP weight sorters automatically weigh every individual tablet or capsule, separating nonconforming units from compliant product.

In batches rejected for weight variation or breakage, manufacturers typically recover over 90% of the product. Recovered doses can be returned to the production process under controlled conditions.

Batch recovery can operate 24/7 without operator intervention.

Weight Sorting

Sorting Any Dose Format

SADE SP systems handle tablets, capsules, soft gels and other solid dosage formats. They tolerate friable, misshapen or damaged products while maintaining precision and repeatability.

Immediate Return on Investment

While root cause elimination remains the priority, weight sorting provides an immediate commercial safeguard when exceptions occur.

For many manufacturers, a single recovered batch has offset the cost of the equipment.

This is why SADE SP weight sorters are widely adopted across pharmaceutical manufacturing operations worldwide.
