Safety and accuracy are ideally combined at the BASF port facility. Because of the highly flammable nature of the materials the filling area is classified ATEX Zone 1. Consequently, all truck weighing bridges at this site must be capable of operating under such conditions. METTLER TOLEDO’s solution enables BASF to weigh directly into the tanker whilst complying with ATEX Zone 1 conditions.

Dankzij de zeer nauwkeurige telweegschaal BBK462-0.6DXXS, het nieuwe paradepaardje voor stukstellen, is het mogelijk om foutloos kleine onderdelen met een gewicht van 0,001g te tellen. De MonoBloc weegtechnologie beschikt over een uitstekende reproduceerbaarheid en lineariteit, voorwaarden voor nauwkeurig tellen.

Allen M. Beard (Albemarle, USA) reported on the reaction modeling and process development of a fine chemical compound (4-Fluorobenzaldehyde). Kinetic data (ReactIR) and heat of reaction data (RC1e calorimetry) are key components of a safe and efficient scale-up to production.

The hanging version of the UC3 family clears space on your counter and helps you keep the counter clean and hygienic especially in your seafood departement.
The new UC3-HWT-A is the first hanging scale that offers touch operating.
You can now benefit from all the advantages of Touch technology such as free definable GUI layouts.
As part of the UC3 family the UC3-HWT-A offers you all the extensive functionality of the open system technology.

Changing industry landscapes, such as more volatile market demands and intensified competitive pressure, may force you to manage production with greater flexibility. FormXP ensures a simple, reliable and efficient recipe procedure. Guaranteed simpler processes and reduced paper consumption increase productivity.

Designing a batch formulation system must take into consideration many parameters. The pleasant-smelling substances are processed in Ex areas. METTLER TOLEDO offers a system that meets the strictest of safety standards.

The IND560 weighing indicator empowers you to increase speed during filling steps of your hazardous compounds while maintaining accuracy and reliability.

The IND560fill process weighing terminal performs simple and semi-complex filling and mixing applications. It features standard and customizable filling sequences configurable to your specific needs.

Ben Littler (Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., USA) reported on the use of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) in Pre-Clinical R&D to speed development and reduce time to market. The presented case studies illustrated the use of in situ FTIR reaction monitoring (ReactIR) and heat flow (MultiMax) to meet these objectivies.

Incorrect weight and volume measurements reported to carriers can result in back charges. When Stellae International, an importer of luxury goods, realized they were being charged dimension fees due to the large number of non-standard boxes they shipped, they began to look into ways to meet their carrier’s specifications.

Jeff Hippler (The Dow Chemical Co.) reported on the use of a LabMax system to mimic a plant reactor for laboratory-scale development. The LabMax reactor, in conjunction with WinRC software, provided off-the-shelf capability for development of a functional control algorithm.

The new IND226x weighing terminal unites functionality and diversity of application. A full range of approvals allows worldwide use in the chemicals and pharmaceutical industry. And users benefit from a large number of functionalities and application options.

Errors can occur through manual calculation of recipes. Combined with the FormXP recipe software, the IND690 allows an error-free and efficient recipe process. Bonus side effect: Reduced paper consumption and simpler operation improve productivity.

The Antwerp Distribution and Product Operations (ADPO) uses METTLER TOLEDO systems for filling barrels. With weighing technology, ADPO maximizes its productivity while reducing process costs.

The compact FiveEasy™ bench meters and the portable splash-protected FiveGo™ meters for pH and conductivity measurements are ideal for anyone working on a tight budget, but who nevertheless requires rapid and reliable results. These easy to use and ergonomic instruments cover a multitude of food and beverage applications.

The sample robot for DSC 1 and TGA/DSC 1 can remove the protective crucible lid from the crucible or pierce the lid of hermetically sealed aluminum crucibles immediately before measurement. This unique feature prevents sensitive pharmaceutical samples from taking up or losing moisture or volatile components between weighing-in and measurement. It also protects oxygen-sensitive samples from oxidation.

With the IND469rem terminal and the KA3s-/KA6s balances, METTLER TOLEDO offers an ideal weighing system. It can be connected to the FreeWeigh.Net® quality control software and meets the strictest quality and hygiene standards. This weighing system supports you in quality control while reducing costs in environments subject to strict hygiene regulations which require special measuring instruments.

With a long history of supplying lubricants and fuel to the Ferrari Formula One team speed matters for Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH. In Shell’s lubricants laboratory in Grasbrook near Hamburg, a new automated METTLER TOLEDO DR45 accelerates density and refractive index measurements to keep pace with the demands of challenging applications for Shell lubricants across many different industries.

In R&D- en testlaboratoria in de petrochemische sector wordt veel met niet-waterige vloeistoffen gewerkt. Deze zijn vaak moeilijk op juiste wijze aan te zuigen en te doseren met gewone pipetten die functioneren op basis van luchtverplaatsing. Daarom heeft RAININ, een leidinggevende onderneming op het gebied handmatige vloeistofoverdracht, de Pos-D ontwikkeld. Dit is de eerste pipet ter wereld voor positieve vloeistofverplaatsing met ergonomische kenmerken. De Pos-D is ideaal voor vloeistoffen met een grote dichtheid, viscositeit of dampdruk.

The Dushanzi Petrochemical Company is an affiliate to the Petrochina Company Limited and is engaged in processing crude oil and producing ethane. METTLER TOLEDO balances are widely used in its refinery, ethane factory, thermal power plant and research institute with over 100 sets of different balance models utilized since the introduction of METTLER TOLEDO’s series of electronic balances in 1986.
