One sensor for all applications – regardless of the liquid involved – is no longer a pipe dream, thanks to the new radar liquid level sensors.

Gentle and low-pulsation dosing of aggressive chemicals without pressure peaks and with minimized dead time. This is made possible by MEMDOS SMART, a new type of stepper motor dosing pump that Lutz-Jesco will be presenting at Achema 2024, the world’s leading trade fair for the process industry. The Industry 4.0-compatible dosing pump can be operated as easily and reliably as a smartphone via its full-colour touch display.

Just over a month before ACHEMA 2024 opens on 10 June, one thing is already clear: with more than 60 percent of exhibitors coming from abroad, this year’s leading trade show for the global process industry will be the most international ACHEMA ever. Numerous side events from renowned partners await participants from 130 countries.
