Understanding the Benefits of Flowmax® 242i: A Seamless Ultrasonic Flowmeter alternative for Leviflow devices
When it comes to modern bioprocessing and fluid management, ensuring accurate flow measurement is critical for maintaining process control and efficiency.
Flowmax® 242i, an advanced ultrasonic single-use flowmeter, offers significant advantages in replacing Leviflow devices.
Come and explore how Flowmax® 242i enhances process integration. Read about its unique features that set it apart in bioprocess applications, including TFF processes.
Key Features of Flowmax® 242i
1. Compatibility with Leviflow
In order to be a flowmeter compatible with Leviflow, Flowmax® 242i offers highly configurable outputs.
These ensure that the existing process-control loops remain intact. This feature is essential for maintaining optimal performance in various fluid-handling scenarios, where precision and control are vital.
Whether it’s monitoring critical process parameters or supporting feedback loops, Flowmax® 242i offers a robust interface to keep your process under control.
2. Flexible Physical Integration
One standout feature of the Flowmax® 242i is its versatile physical integration. Unlike many flowmeters that require complex configurations such as Z-shaped offsets in the flow path, Flowmax® 242i can be integrated into any straight-line section of your system.
This eliminates potential bottlenecks and flow disruptions, streamlining the setup process. Additionally, there is no need for straight lengths of tubing before or after the flowmeter.
Firstly, this allows for more compact and flexible installation options in space-constrained environments, Secondly it is strongly reducing hold-up volume!
3. High Pressure Rating
Flowmax® 242i is designed to handle demanding operating conditions. Its robust housing with typical inforcement-ribs, offers pressure resistance up to 7 bar.
TFF, or Tangential flow filtration, often involves high-pressure environments, and the Flowmax® 242i’s robustness ensures reliable performance.
Fact: we realize this without the need for additional metal enforcement cradles.
This simplifies the installation and reduces hardware costs, installation-risks and maintenance requirements.
4. Superior Accuracy with a Calibrated Measuring Tube
Precision is at the core of Flowmax® 242i’s design. The calibrated measuring tube operates with a higher level of accuracy compared to Leviflow flowmeters.
This is particularly important in bioprocessing applications where even minor discrepancies can lead to significant effects on product quality and yield.
5. Biocompatible Wetted Materials
The wetted materials in the Flowmax® 242i flowmeter are made of LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene), which conforms to USP Class VI standards. This makes it highly suitable for applications requiring strict biocompatibility, such as in pharmaceutical production and other life sciences.
LDPE’s resistance to a wide range of chemicals and its compliance with USP Class VI, ensures that Flowmax® 242i can be used confidently in life-science environments.
Additional Advantages of Flowmax® 242i
- True Plug&Play: there’s only one connector to be used, which every operator can succesfully fit.
The electronics automatically do the rest
- Calibration-data on board: The precision-calibrated tube ensures a full reproducibility of the calibration-accuracy into your end-customers’ process.
- Long lifetime availability: Even when SUS are not in operation for years, this is a comforting aspect.
The ultrasonic measurement principle inherently has the benefit that the device maintains consistent accuracy over time, eliminating the need for recalibration.
