WIKA Diaphragm Monitoring System Helps Pharma Plant Avert Contamination
| Michael Muth | ApplicationsA case study of how a major U.S. pharmaceutical company switched to the WIKA Diaphragm Monitoring System to avoid another costly shutdown due to contamination caused by a diaphragm seal failure. Several years ago, a major U.S. pharmaceutical plant suffered the loss …
ASME BPE Study Leads to New Recommendations to Help Prevent Process Contamination
| Michael Muth | ApplicationsWIKA inline diaphragm seals and flow-through thermowells either reduce or eliminate dead legs where bacterial or fungal contamination can develop in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Process engineers know for decades that “dead legs” in piping and …
WIKA’s Measurement Technology Helps Pharmaceutical Company Improve Product Consistency
| Michael Muth | ApplicationsPharmaceuticals are not cheap to manufacture. The extensive research and clinical trials required to develop and market a new drug are a major factor in the overall cost of production. What’s more, many cutting-edge medications today require complex and expensive …
Improving Performance in Mobile Machines with Digitally Controlled Pressure Transmitter
| Jeff Placek | ApplicationsDigital control of hydraulic systems allows better management and improved performance of mobile machines. When properly controlled, equipment such as steering systems, drive regulators, and transmission gear are safer, work more efficiently, and—ultimately—save …
