Typical Process Applications

Analytical instrumentation configured for production environments, qualification demands, and continuous process verification across regulated facilities in Ireland and the UK.

Hazardous-area blend monitoring process interface
Solid Dosage & Powder Processing
Hazardous-Area Blend Monitoring
Direct measurement of blend homogeneity inside operating vessels and tumble blenders to detect real-time mixing endpoints.

Eliminates invasive thief sampling by integrating non-destructive spectroscopic interfaces directly onto active process vessels.

Implementation Aspects
  • In-situ interface designs for sealed process vessels
  • Real-time homogeneity and endpoint determination
  • Reduced operator exposure during powder sampling
Wireless process spectrometer installed on industrial equipment
Flexible Plant Integration
Wireless Process Installations
Battery-operated and wireless optical sensors designed for rotating drums, portable bins, and complex plant layouts.

Provides analytical coverage in locations where physical cabling is impractical or restricted by moving machinery.

Implementation Aspects
  • Cable-free communication for rotating process equipment
  • Secure data transmission to central manufacturing systems
  • Streamlined mechanical installation with low footprint
Fluid bed drying monitoring interface and probe
Fluid Bed & Drying Operations
Continuous Granulation & Drying Control
In-line moisture, solvent concentration, and particle growth monitoring during active fluid bed or continuous drying runs.

Tracks moisture evolution continuously, allowing precise endpoint detection and consistent batch-to-batch product moisture targets.

Implementation Aspects
  • Continuous tracking of moisture content and solvent levels
  • Accurate drying endpoint detection to prevent over-processing
  • Integration with fluid bed dryers and continuous granulators
