Thermo Electron also recognized the need to satisfy customer requirements for smaller, faster packs with high accuracy – often a need in the pharmaceutical industry – and has responded to that need with the GP Pharma. While Thermo already manufactures the specialty Rx checkweigher, the GP-Pharma, with a product weight capacity of 500g, has been developed to bridge the gap between the general purpose product lines and the high-end Rx weigher.
