Seamless engineering
and monitoring packages
This company's Module Type Packages
(MTPs) can be integrated into
overarching
production
Phoenix Contact
systems.
Such packages can be adjusted repeatedly
to adapt to changing market
requirements. At Achema, this
company will present a joint use-case
with X-Visual Technologies GmbH,
Semodia GmbH, ABB AG and Wotten
Consulting that will illustrate process
engineering through module orchestration
(photo).
In
cooperation with
Rembe
Seepex, another demonstration will
show how a smart dosing pump can
be automated easily with the MTP Designer
system. MTPs can also interact
with Namur Open Architecture (NOA)
- a live demonstration at Achema will
show how the sensor technology of
an agitator tank sends monitoring and
optimization data to the control center
via the NOA-side channel. Hall 11.0

Overpressure protection for
low-pressure tanks
The Elevent breather valve (photo)
protects vessels with low design
pressures against overpressure and
vacuum in a pressure range of 2 to
200 mbarg. This makes it appropriate
for low-pressure vessels inside storage
tanks, dryers and other vessels
in the chemical, pharmaceutical and
food industries. For example, Elevent
is ideal for use in dryers in which
free-flowing process media, such as
cocoa, raw tablet materials or teas,
are processed under vacuum. If the
vacuum pressure
inside
the

sel begins to drop, the valve opens
and thus ensures targeted pressure
equalization, which is of immense importance
both for the stability of the
dryer, as well as the quality of the sensitive
substances inside. Controlled
maintenance of the pressure level is
achieved via a very low leakage rate.
This prevents both emissions of volatile
gases or other environmentally
harmful substances, as well as the
formation of explosive mixtures or a
potentially dangerous ingress of air.

Agitator seals optimized for
side- and bottom-entry drives
With its recently upgraded design,
HSMR34 is a double-acting liquidlubricated
mechanical seal (photo)
that is approved for use in all explosive
environments according to the
ATEX Directive. The standard material
used is silicon carbide (SiC) in a hard/
hard pairing. Especially in machines
with a side or bottom entry drive, the
medium is pressed against the sealing
gap, posing unique challenges for
the seal design, and increasing the
risk of buildup. To solve this problem,
HSMR34 mechanical seals are
equipped with a solid counter-ring
that extends far into the product. In
addition to excellent heat dissipation,
this also has another advantage - the
rotation of the counter-ring produces
centrifugal forces that keep material
from accumulating in the sealing
gap. An O-ring integrated into the
solid counter-ring separates the shaft
from the product, ensuring that the
shaft sleeve has no contact with the
product and opening up new options
for
shaft
sleeve
materials.

This data platform supports
automated fluidized-bed systems
SmartX (photo) is a process digitalization
and automation platform for fluidized-bed
operations that is built for realtime
intelligence and process control,
supporting
pharmaceutical
process
development from studies and design
of experiments (DoE) to scaleup and
manufacturing. This platform provides
secure storage, advanced analytics,
process insights and flexible automation
tools that ensure efficiency, productivity,
process robustness and patient
safety in every dose. A deployed
SmartX system enables process automation
through
low-code/no-code
interfaces, placing the control evenly
across all divisions, from research and
development to production, whereby
every employee and every process can
be empowered with the manufacturing
data that SmartX yields. Hall 11.1
