Which of the following equipment measures weight variation using reflected energy:
Show Hint
- Rotofill
- Vericap-1200
- Rotosort
- Rotoweight
The Correct Option is D
Approach Solution - 1
Step 1: Understanding weight measurement using reflected energy. Rotoweight is an advanced equipment used in pharmaceutical and industrial applications for measuring weight variation. It utilizes reflected energy technology to determine the weight of objects without direct contact, ensuring high accuracy and efficiency in weight monitoring.
Step 2: Explanation of other options.
- (A) Rotofill: Used for precise filling of powders or liquids into containers.
- (B) Vericap-1200: A capsule-filling machine, not related to weight measurement.
- (C) Rotosort: Used for sorting objects based on predefined parameters, not for weight measurement.
Step 3: Why Rotoweight is the correct choice. Rotoweight's use of reflected energy technology makes it ideal for weight variation analysis, ensuring accuracy without physical interference with the sample.
Approach Solution -2
The question asks which equipment checks weight variation using a reflected energy or non contact sensing method. Looking at what each named machine is actually built to do narrows this down quickly.
- Rotofill: This equipment is a filling machine used to dose accurate volumes or weights of powder or liquid into containers during production. Its job is filling, not checking the weight afterward using a sensing method.
- Vericap-1200: This is a capsule filling and sealing machine used in solid dosage manufacturing. It has no role in weight variation testing.
- Rotosort: This equipment sorts finished units, such as capsules or tablets, based on preset physical criteria like size or defects. Sorting is a separation task, not a weighing task.
- Rotoweight: This is an in line checkweigher that uses a non contact, reflected energy based sensing method to check each unit's weight as it passes on the line, flagging units outside the acceptable range without touching them. This matches the reflected energy weight checking described in the question exactly.
Of the four, only Rotoweight is built specifically for non contact weight checking using reflected energy.
Therefore, the correct answer is Rotoweight.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below: - The initial concentration of a drug decomposing according to first order kinetics is28 units/mL. The specific decomposition rate, k, obtained from an Arrhenius plot is 2.09 × 10-5 hr-1 at room temperature, 25°C. Previous experimentation has shown that when the concentration of the drug falls below 15 units/mL it is not sufficiently potent for use and should be removed from the market.
