Pharmaceutical Flow Meter Application for Batching

In: Flow Meter Application

1 Apr 2009

Company Type: Medical Device Manufacturing

Market: Pharmaceuticals

Application Category: Batching

GPI Flow Meters Used: GNT-051 with GX500

 

Problem:

The manufacturing process required accurate measurement of two materials into a single batch. Two lines supply materials that are batched into a blend tank.

Flow Meter Application:

The manufacturing process required an accurate measure of two different fluids into a day tank.  The blended materials, acrylamide (ACR) and glycerine (GLY) are then used in a subsequent process. Accuracy of measurement (+/-0.5%) was a critical requirement of the process and provided a cost savings.

Solution:

G Series Meters added to the individual lines send a signal (4-20 mA) back to the PLC. This signal at the PLC allows operators to monitor usage throughout the process.

Advantages of Using GPI Flow Meters:

  • Cost Savings
  • Self Contained
  • Compact Size
  • Accuracy
