For pharmaceutical applications, comprehensive process safety is the most important feature of double diaphragm seals. Furthermore, these units give plant operators a significant time advantage: When utilising instruments with “simple” diaphragm seals they must, often after each batch, remove all measuring instruments from the process and check the diaphragms for possible damage. Only then can the product batch be released for further processing. This operation and the waiting time are dispensed with when measuring assemblies with integrated diaphragm break monitoring are used.

Ensuring a Safe and Reliable Pharma Production

Investing in the safety of pharmaceutical processes is an inevitable task, especially with regard to the possibly consequences. In terms of protection of product and environment, the diaphragm seal systems offer considerable advantages. Matching them to the individual process environments does involve additional planning.

However, in the long run the economic aspects of this measurement technology — the simplified process control, reduced waiting and downtime and minimised failure risk — will make up for this, paying back with reduced costs and optimised running operation.
