The expansion of German sites increases EU supply security for drug products
Germ-free and virus-free mould dehumidification
The highly accurate measurement of various products with specific characteristics, often under harsh conditions, is an enormous challenge for process instrumentation – while meeting the requirements of safety-related approvals.
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.
Wastewater, sewage, effluents and sludge are useful sources of energy with the potential to heat (or in some circumstances cool) other products or materials in industrial processes.
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.

Ensuring highest hygiene standards for food production and processing
An interview with Jürgen Skowaisa, Product Manager Radar at VEGA Grieshaber KG in Schiltach, Germany about advantages of the technology and the new line of radar devices for a wider field of applications.
Piab’s broad portfolio of lifting and moving solutions ensures that powders and granules provided or packaged in bags can be handled automatically. With piSMART options included direct measuring, documenting and controlling is possible for all bag sizes
Fulfilling special needs for applications in different environments
Many industrial processes depend on maintaining the correct temperatures. Ensuring that these processes remain efficient, produce goods and materials of the right quality and above all remain safe, demands accurate temperature measurement.
The completely dry-running and hermetically gas-tight solution is designed for applications that require absolute process safety and purity. With final pressures of up to 450 barg, the compressor offers oil-free compression of virtually any gas.
Intrinsically Safe Camera for Hands-Free Collaboration in Zone 1/21 und Div. 1
In recent years, aseptic technology has become well established in the food and drink sector as a filling technique. Yet some businesses are still unaware of its benefits or do not believe that it can be used with their products
