Single –Use Systems for Flexible Operations in Biopharmaceutical Production

With operational efficiency and flexibility being the current norm in production facilities, biopharmaceutical manufacturers are working on concepts that will facilitate this with ease. The move towards employing single-use systems (SUS) is a case in point. However, this poses several challenges, be it technical, logistical or any other. Some factors that need to be considered while designing such systems to prevent operational bottlenecks are mentioned in this article...

Their ability to automatically achieve a deadhead condition through the simple adjustment of air pressure without the creation of additional heat or product shear has been a driving force in making AODD pumps a mainstream choice for many food-manufacturing processes. (Picture: Wilden)
Diaphragm Pumps

The Arrival of Diaphragm Pumps as Mainstream Process Pumps

From specialized processes that require system-pressurization pumps, to very flexible flow regimes, to most delicate pumping of fluids/products produced: This article shows that the diaphragm pump is no longer in the fringes of processing but at the heart of the operation to deliver the highest quality product at the greatest yield as efficiently as possible.
