Sensors for the pharmaceutical industry
The pharmaceutical industry operates in an environment with stringent safety, sterility and precision requirements. In the production of pharmaceutical products, drugs and ultrapure water – VEGA sensors are reliable and easy to clean.
Measurement technology for hygienic and sterile processes
Optimal measurement technology – uncompromising quality
In the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, hygiene, reproducibility and flexibility are decisive factors for efficient as well as safe production with a high degree of automation. VEGA offers world-class level and pressure measurement technology.
Efficient CIP/SIP cleaning
- Cleaning in Place (CIP) and Sterilisation in Place (SIP) are methods for cleaning industrial process equipment.
- During CIP cleaning, different liquids are pumped through the system piping. The cleaning media used are caustic and acidic solutions, some in high concentrations, often at extremely high temperatures.
- VEGA sensors ensure that all required liquids are always available in sufficient amounts and reliably withstand the complex processes.
