, for WFI loop management, is that it allows for manual operation at the point of use with remote override control. The primary aim is to help prevent excessive demand on the water loop while also protecting operators from injury due to hot water exposure during sanitizing, the company says. An inductive limit switch confirms the closed position prior to operation.ITT Pure-Flo’s new Pure-Life NGE Grade E1 diaphragms feature advanced technology in elastomer science, the company says. They have been developed specifically for applications where longer service is critical, having been tested in extreme conditions at ITT’s own labs and at biopharma end users. The E1 diaphragm will extend time between shut downs, ITT says, providing an overall lower cost of ownership.Spirax Sarco h
U.K.’s Aesica recently selected Buck split butterfly valves from GEA Pharma Systems for the contained transfer of potent powders at its new high-containment facility in Queenborough. The valves were chosen for their high containment levels and ease of use, Aesica said.
Moyno’s new low-shear Sanitary Pumphas been designed for simplified CIP. The company explains: “The suction housing is equipped with an additional sanitary connection to accept flow bypass piping and valves. During CIP operation, cleaning solution passes through the pump, washing the internal parts clean, while excess liquid is routed through the flow bypass line and back into the piping downstream of the pump.”
is for metering, dosing and transferring of sensitive fluids in biopharma. It is suited for filtration, fermentation, and dispensing applications, and accepts eight different tubing materials and varied flow rates and pressures.
