One piece of instrumentation that we try to specify with all installations, but not surprisingly see underutilized, are sanitary pressure gauges. Cheap and often overlooked, this post will take a look at how we can use a sanitary pressure gauge to help monitor pump performance.

A DTL or Tri blender basically consists of a centrifugal pump head and impeller mounted in such an orientation that the normal suction port, or inlet, is pointed upward. The inlet piping consists of a tube-within-a-tube arrangement- preventing wet-dry mixing and the prewetting phenomena.

This post will focus on what emulsions and dispersion are and how they are different.

Today, we are going to recap and rehash the four primary types of sanitary flowmeter technology used in processes today and the advantages and disadvantages of each. We won’t focus too much on how each works and try to focus on when they should be applied.

In the coming days, Holland will release a new Sanitary Batch and Metering system application data sheet that will help guide users through some of the things they should be thinking about and considering before attacking a new system

This post will focus on what electropolishing is, and isn’t and why we use it in the high purity process world.

The sanitary mag mixer is a relatively simple device. The impeller mounts onto the weld plate on a spindle that has a bearing on it. Different manufacturers have different bearing designs, the most common is to use a hardened material as a thrust bearing. The drive unit locks to the bottom of the weld plate. When the drive rotates, its magnet locks onto the magnet in the impeller causing it to turn. Like we said, simple.

One area of sanitary processing Holland has identified as a market where we can really help our customers is with complete, turnkey batch systems and basic automation. Not everyone needs an expensive and complex PLC or DCS. Pump run, valve cycling, turbidity control, and fill bowl level control are all good examples of basic functions almost every producer uses that can be readily automated to provide increased throughput and product consistency.
