Editorial: Diaphragm Metering Pumps for Critical Mixing Tasks in Industrial Oligonucleotide Production

23.04.2024 -

The demands on production systems for medically necessary oligonucleotides are high. Chemical resistance and biological integrity are just as important today as enormous flexibility in order to be able to synthesise a wide variety of drugs. With its special diaphragm metering pumps, LEWA GmbH guarantees compliance with these requirements even for critical mixing tasks and, in addition to standardised platform technologies, even provides customer-specific GMP-compliant systems.

Canned Motor Pump Technology Has Multiple Advantages

13.03.2024 -

Using canned motor technology for submersible pumps provides significant advantages. A short shaft, only two slide bearings – independent from the immersion depth – and various monitoring functions not only ensure high reliability but also mean cost advantages for the operator. Since it is supplied as a lock pump, easy servicing is guaranteed at the same time.

Aseptic Process Diaphragm Pump for Field Trials on Homogenization of Demanding Emulsions

04.03.2024 -

At this year’s Anuga FoodTec, pump manufacturer LEWA will be presenting its newly developed LEWA homogenizer test system, that can be used to test the aseptic functioning of a homogenizer based on a hygienic hermetic process diaphragm pump. Thanks to a homogenizing valve that is also hygienic, it can be flexibly adjusted to the requirements of different emulsions.

Filling of battery cells with electrolytes
