The recent launch of Qdos™ H-FLO features up to 600 L/h and pressure capability up to 7 bar (102 psi), making chemical dosing simpler and cost effective and serves a wide variety of applications and industries, such as water and wastewater treatment, mining and mineral processing, chemical applications in food and beverage or pulp and paper. With higher flow rates combined with a variety of pumpheads to ensure chemical compatibility with the process fluid, the Qdos H-FLO high-precision pump offers flexibility to be scalable with a customer's process.

Qdos H-FLO also cuts costs through higher precision chemical metering, with an accuracy of ±1% and repeatability of ±0.5% in dosing. Qdos H-FLO will bring benefits to applications including disinfectants, coagulants, flocculants, acids/alkalis, mining reagents and surfactants.

Qdos H-FLO is supported with an optional pressure sensing kit that provides real-time pressure monitoring, which ensures process security and improves safety. The optional pressure sensing kit comes with configurable alarms for process monitoring and is compatible with commonly used chemicals in process industries.

Benefits:

  • RFID Pump head detection ensures confirmation of correct pumphead
  • Revolution counter for pump head service maintenance
  • Leak detection and fluid containment prevent spills and chemical exposure upon pumphead expiry
  • Network integration, control and communication options include EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and PROFIBUS for easy integration with SCADA / PLC
  • One common pump drive with several pump head options for changing process conditions and chemistries
WMArchitectTM

To streamline the process, safeguard products, and reduce regulatory burden for biopharmaceutical companies, the new range of WMArchitect single-use solutions is designed to offer both standard, ready-to-use single-use assemblies as well as customised designs with an open architecture approach. WMArchitect is a new end-to-end, single-use fluid path management solution consisting of customised designs - single-use assemblies, single-use fluid transfer assemblies, fill/finish single-use assemblies, and validation testing.

All WMArchitect single-use solutions are manufactured, pre-assembled and packaged at WMFTS' global network of state-of-the-art Class 7 cleanrooms. The WMFTS global supply network provides uninterrupted supply security and robust lead times. To ensure easy deployment and meet the requirements set by current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) guidelines, lot traceability of each component can be made available as part of our detailed documentation.

Jacky Chan further elaborated. "WMArchitect is ideal for high purity biopharmaceutical process development, clinical trials and small to large scale production batches. As the most critical component for maximising performance is where the tubing meets the pump, our assembly solutions are designed synergistically with our best-in-class Watson-Marlow peristaltic pump technologies and filling solutions to ensure reliable, repeatable performance for your most sensitive processes."

Benefits:

  • Designed to reduce a biopharmaceutical company's validation burden
  • Support of internal validation protocols
  • Flexible integration with an open architecture approach
  • Use in conjunction with Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps or Flexicon filling systems for an end-to-end fluid management solution
  • Supply security with WMFTS' global manufacturing and supply network
