Interest Grows in Single-Use Pumps

From ALMATEC Maschinenbau GmbH

The traditional pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceutical industries are distinct entities. The commonality is they both product drug products for human and animal health. One of the key differences: the pharmaceutical industry relies largely on cellular processes. That difference has led to the development of new lines of processing equipment optimized for biological processes. The latest development is single-use pumps.

Products & Services
Submersible Pumps
Submersible pumps can be mounted into a tank with the liquid media. The pump’s motor is normally sealed in an oil filled cavity that is protected from contact with the liquid.
Centrifugal Pumps
Centrifugal pumps consist of a set of rotating vanes, enclosed within a housing or casing, that are used to impart energy to a fluid through centrifugal force.
Drum Pumps
Drum pumps are used to transfer materials from a container into a process or other container. They may be electrically, hydraulically, or pneumatically powered depending on the working environment or application.
Explosion Proof Pumps
Explosion proof pumps prevent internal or external explosions by enclosing parts that could ignite either the transfer media or the surrounding atmosphere.
Chemical Pumps
Chemical pumps are designed for applications requiring greater reliability and durability than conventional pumps.
