Optimizing production and improving reliability is critical for pharmaceutical industry continuous manufacturing, a fully automated process with direct flow control of production output and material input. A challenge in continuous manufacturing is precipitating environments that often lead to clogged lines. Pipe plugging impacts production quality and uptime. Pharmaceutical customers are looking for the best way to improve production during one batch and generate an alarm to stop the process and clean the line before the pipe is plugged. This can be achieved using coating detection diagnostics of Coriolis flow meters through Smart Meter Verification, which provides early detection of clogged lines reducing plant shutdown. These diagnostics support digitalization of the cleaning in place process, so cleaning can be scheduled according to the level of detected coating. This ensures a successful cleaning so no extra cleaning is needed, allowing the unit to be used to its fullest cycle.
Ideal for hygienic process-control applications, H-Series flow meters are accurate, low frequency, fit-and-forget meters with a compact, drainable, cleanable design. Get reliable performance under extreme process conditions, including entrained gas.
