Protecting our livestock – and ourselves - from harmful bacteria
SITRANS FC430 improves quality control in vaccine production

Monitor recirculation rate of oil and any resulting changes in density to optimize vaccine production process and ensure consistent quality.
Measurement
instrumentation had not previously been included as part of this particular
application, which relied instead on the careful visual observations of trained
manufacturing staff. To achieve the critical goal of scaling up production
without compromising performance, Epitopix recently made the decision to invest
in flow measurement technology that could be incorporated seamlessly into the
blending process.
Ultimately, Epitopix selected the digitally based SITRANS FC430 Coriolis flow
meter from Siemens, size DN15 (0.5 in) with hygienic DIN clamps.
“As a result of incorporating the SITRANS FC430 into our blending application, we are now much better equipped to optimize the time per volume processed and – most importantly – improve consistency from one finished batch of vaccine to the next.“
