CLAMP-ON FLOWMETERS FOR STERILE MEDICAL PRODUCTION.

Pharmaceutical industryWhen sterility is of vital importance, clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters provide a reliable and hygienic solution.

Whether you use water for purification (sterile purified water, PW) or for injections (WFI), you need to be able to rely on completely sterile tubes. Traditional invasive products create areas where microbiological growth can occur within the pipeline, whereas clamp-on (non-invasive) instruments maintain the system’s integrity and sterility. Many of the liquids used in pharmaceutical production are also non-conductive, making them unsuitable for alternative measurement technologies.

OUR SOLUTION: CLAMP-ON ULTRASONIC FLOWMETERS.

  • Externally mounted; No compromises on hygiene and sterility
  • Suitable for demineralized liquids
  • Stainless steel sensors with a high IP rating suitable for cleanroom installations
  • Simple and fast installation
  • On-site support
  • For measuring both flow rate and volume
  • Extremely suitable for measuring pure liquids
  • Thin tubes with a diameter from 3 mm, without adjustments to the transmitter or ultrasonic sensors
  • Point measurements (KATflow 200 and KATflow 230)
  • Permanent measurements (KATflow 150 and SONOFLOW CO.55)
  • Various stages of pharmaceutical water production

The sensors of our clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters are clamped on the outside of the pipe. It is therefore not necessary to open the pipeline and shut down the system. No compromise to the integrity and sterility.

A clamp-on ultrasonic device is the perfect measuring tool for the demineralised liquids used in pharmaceutical processes. These are non-conductive and therefore unsuitable for measurement with an electromagnetic flowmeter.

Our flow sensors are manufactured with stainless steel heads, have a high IP rating and are designed for clean room installation. They can be employed on pipes of acoustically conductive material including various plastics, stainless steel and flexible tubes.

Because tubes and pipes remain intact while mounting a flowmeter, there is no risk of leakage or direct contact with its potentially hazardous contents.

  • Feed and waste water metering during membrane processes
  • Measurement of supplied raw water to pretreatment facilities
  • Recycle and recovery flow rate metering on RO systems
  • Feed water metering for softening and deionisation units
  • Point-of-use measurement for manufacturing processes
  • Backwash flow rate measurements

The use of our clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters is not limited to the production of pharmaceutical water. They can also play an important role in, for example, the production of liquid medicines which include liquids, solutions, syrups and mixtures.

The manufacturing of tablets provides further opportunities for the use of non-invasive flow measurement. Such as for wet granulation production processes for instance.
