In-line process transmitter
INCREASED SAFETY
Absolute sterility, optimisation of process sequences, reduction of operating costs – this is the context to which the pharmaceutical and aseptic food processing industries must adapt their production processes. Measurement technology that monitors the individual process parameters plays a decisive role in this. To meet these challenges, WIKA has developed the dry measuring in-line process transmitter DMSU22SA – especially for pressure measurement in sanitary applications.
Challenges
HYGIENIC DESIGN
As part of the overall hygienic concept of a plant, the measuring instruments used must comply with special requirements on material, surface finish quality, process safety, connection technology and cleanability in the scope of the CIP or SIP process.
As a company member of the European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG), WIKA contributes to the international standards and combines hygienic design with high-quality measurement technology.
REMARKABLY VERSATILE
In practice, pressure measurement in sterile processes is facing various requirements:
- Suitability for CIP and SIP cleaning cycles with high temperatures
- Easy cleaning processes (CIP and SIP) without the need for additional tools
- Efficient cleanability to minimise the use of cleaning agents
- Fast feedback to the distributed control system if the measuring location is no longer intact
- Should a failure occur, neither the running process nor the environment shall be contaminated by transmission fluid
Expertise
YOUR EXPERIENCED PARTNER
WIKA is very familiar with the constantly growing requirements for process monitoring on plants for sanitary applications. That is why a whole range of instruments with patented in-line measurement have already been designed specifically for this industry.
The advantages speak for themselves:
- easy cleanability
- low consumption of water and cleaning agents
- increased efficiency due to low hold-up volume
- reduced risk of cross-contamination
By the way: WIKA’s in-line instruments are EHEDG tested and certified and comply with 3-A Sanitary Standards, ASME BPE and European Standard EN 1672. Typical applications include piping systems, filtration, filling, WFI distribution (water for injections), CIP lines (cleaning in place) and SIP (sterilisation in place).
Benefits
Solutions
The process transmitter DMSU22SA has been specifically designed to meet the requirements in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Its innovative and robust in-line design enables high durability and instant feedback to the control room in case of material damage through continuous sensor monitoring.
The process transmitter is easy to clean. Its optimal hygienic design prevents dead spaces. It also offers increased safety for the process by using a dry sensor because the risk of contamination through transmission fluid is eliminated.
The DMSU22SA can be supplied with all common process connections for sanitary applications and fulfils the respective applicable standards, e.g. EHEDG, 3-A and ASME BPE.
