Automatic weighing of pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements

Recipe dosed directly into big bags

22.09.2009 // Fachartikel

In the plant concept presented below, all the raw materials required for the recipe are weighed directly and automatically into big bags and then added to the mixing process. Manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements are thus able to respond very quickly and flexibly to market trends. In addition to production reliability, the main focus is on batch traceability. This is guaranteed by continuous production control.

More efficiency and fewer emissions from combustion processes

Pure oxygen as an alternative

22.09.2009 // Fachartikel

The targeted use of pure oxygen as an additional oxidation medium in combustion processes helps to considerably increase the throughput and reduce the related energy consumption. A crucial factor for the successful use of this technique is the individual adaptation of the oxygen added to the combustion conditions and constraints. It is now possible to convert existing installations or equip new plants with general-purpose systems for oxygen addition that have been tried and tested in practice.

Pirani sensor with high chemical and mechanical resistance

Fine vacuum measurement

22.09.2009 // Fachartikel

For vacuum measurement of e.g. rotary vane pumps the VSP 3000 has a chemical and mechanical robustness which is unequalled by conventional Pirani sensors up to now. Its ceramic protective covering of the metal wire and a splash-watertight plastic housing make it a reliable fine vacuum gauge, which is easy to use and offers high life expectancy. The application possibilities range from the fine vacuum measurement and regulation up to continuously precise measurements of rough vacuum down to fine vacuum.

Camera systems for hazardous areas

Fully integrated into the control system

22.09.2009 // Fachartikel

For the surveillance of working areas, for production flow control, reactor monitoring or similar tasks options are available in the form of modern network and video technology also for hazardous areas. The signals of one or more cameras can be integrated into process images at any operating station in a user-friendly way. It is also possible to remote control the video technology via the control system. This can be implemented with the aid of the ActiveX and OPC software interfaces.

From fossil to field

30.04.2009 // Fachartikel

Everyone is talking about sustainability, whether in agriculture, politics or industry. The focus is clearly on energy generation – solar, wind and biomass are expected to replace fossil resources and at the same time contribute to keeping climate change at bay. Yet, the finite nature of oil and gas not only affects energy supplies. The chemical industry, and hence all manufacturing sectors from car makers to textile producers depend on fossil resources.
