Short-stroke design with durable composite diaphragm ensures even media flow with long lifetime.
In May 2020 NETZSCH Pumps & Systems delivered its 1,000,000th pump from its subsidiary in Exton, USA
Portfolio covers entire value chains for green chemicals, from hydrogen production to sustainable manufacture of ammonia, methanol, synthetic natural gas and fertilizers
Precision weighing and quality control inspection technology is an important element in any processing operation. Reducing giveaway and ensuring food safety both remain significant contributors to profitability.
Built-in wiper for lower maintenance and operational costs
High-performance for fast and precise positioning
Lightweigt, easy-to-clean with customizable dimensions
Bidirectional measurement of low flow rates
As a measurement technique, guided wave radar is established: the equipment is robust, the technology is mature, and the primary application niches have emerged. The problem - until now - was that the instrumentation was notoriously difficult to install.
The guidelines for contract filling of nutritional supplements and cosmetics are strict. Fast and easy product changes, compliance with food and pharmaceutical standards, and high energy efficiency for sustainable resource conservation are among them.
Creating a new hygienic production facility that includes ATEX zone 1 areas is a complex task, especially when the facility will need over 1,400 control valves.
From a kiln cooling system to silos: the safe and economical transportation of hot materials like clinker is crucial in cement plants. The material can have extremely high temperatures of 500 to 800 degrees Celsius.
The one of the biggest challenges in digitalization is the transformation of existing plants and processes. A WIKA project northern Germany proves that mechanical measuring instruments can also be integrated into the digital world.
Level measurement in Logistics and Production made easy
Ensuring highest hygiene standards for food production and processing
Weighing up opportunities and risks for plants of remote maintenance in the digital age is a key challenge for companies in the process industry. But with some preparations you can participate from the positive effects of remote maintenance safely.
Flexible level monitoring and overfill prevention solutions in all silo types
Water injection pump brought back to life to maintain productivity after seven years lying dormant
High accuracy and repeatability at low flow rates
Intelligent IO-Link devices with flexible status displays
Installation of a system for reliable water supply in a thermal spa
Evolving the IIoT connectivity in one solution
Clean and ultra cleanrooms are required for special production methods – especially in medicine and pharmaceutical technology, since particles in ordinary ambient air would have an adverse effect.
Krohne and SAMSON decided to start a collaboration to develop new products that combine the expertise of both companies and help their customers solving problems the smart way. PCN Europe interviewed the two General Managers of the new company FOCUS-ON.
