Inprotec manufactures high-quality powders and granulates using continuous fluidized bed granulation and spray drying processes. The company relies on advanced technologies and constantly tries out new production possibilities. This innovative spirit is also reflected in the process control and remote access technology employed.

For decades, intrinsically safe pumps have been known as a problem-solver — as a result, this is also true for the centrifugal pump manufacturer Bungartz with its permanently safe pump performances. Numerous — even unusual — examples from the chemical industry and related areas verify this statement. A globally active company is only one example of those benefiting from the extensive experience the pump experts bring to the table. Due to a change implemented by a supplier, the company is reliant on a reliable pump solution for its production process.

A microjet reactor transforms pharmaceuticals into nanoparticles that are easily absorbed by the body. Now the patentee has scaled the process from the laboratory process to a GMP plant. The pharmaceutical company got support from a competent plant manufacturer.

Industry 4.0 and digital transformation solutions are a priority for many pump, vacuum equipment and compressor manufacturers. The race to develop new business models has just started. 3D printing has a special role to play, and it will revolutionize the spare parts market.

MAN Diesel & Turbo Schweiz has signed a cooperation agreement with ABB Switzerland for the development, production and commercialization of a three-way energy-storage system. The new Electro-Thermal Energy Storage system (Etes) stores large-scale electricity, heat and cold for distribution to consumers.

Ima Active’s coating pan for film and sugar coating processes helps Glaxo Smith Kline to reduce environmental impact while increasing efficiency. Coating highly humidity sensitive products like antibiotic tablets is challenging. Stable core temperature and the balance of thermodynamic conditions are very important and need to be tested before installing a coating pan. Imas coating pan Perfima for film and sugar coating has made the practical test at the Glaxo Smith Kline site in France.

The trend to increased specialization and higher-potency active ingredients creates the need for hermetically sealed process flows. Government regulations are also becoming stricter. To an increasing extent, the production process will have to be designed as a containment system. Containment (at least in the pharmaceutical industry) is nothing new. It is actually a long-term trend. Nevertheless, expertise in this field is not evenly distributed.

Learn how the diagnostics built into Emerson’s latest generation vibrating fork level switches provide information that enables operators to resolve problems before they impact productivity and quality.
