Flow Measurement for Sterile and Controlled Production Environments

In pharmaceutical production, the highest standards apply in terms of sterility, process reliability and comprehensive documentation. Any contact with the medium poses a potential risk of contamination and may jeopardise product quality. Conventional invasive measurement systems therefore carry the risk of compromising the purity of the product.

Benefits of Using Katronic Ultrasonic Flowmeters in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Katronic clamp-on flowmeters offer the ideal solution here: they enable completely non-invasive, hygienic flow measurement without opening the pipework or coming into contact with the medium. This minimises the risk of contamination, ensures process reliability and reliably measures even non-conductive liquids – ideal for the demanding conditions in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Ensuring Maximum Sterility

As there is no contact between the sensor and the medium, there are no points of microbiological entry. The integrity of the product is fully maintained throughout the entire production process – a crucial advantage for GMP-compliant applications.

Reliable Measurement of Non-Conductive Media

Many pharmaceutical process fluids, such as ultrapure water or alcohol solutions, are non-conductive. Katronic ultrasonic flowmeters measure these media reliably and accurately, regardless of their electrical conductivity.

High Versatility in Cleanroom Applications

Katronic ultrasonic sensors are fitted with robust stainless steel transducers, feature high protection ratings and have been specially developed for use in cleanrooms and sensitive production areas. They can be flexibly mounted on pipework made from acoustically conductive materials such as stainless steel and various plastics, as well as on flexible hoses, thereby offering maximum versatility in demanding environments.

Applications in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Our clamp-on systems have a wide range of applications in this sector – we set out some typical examples below.
