New process thermostats for demanding biotech and pharma applications

Lauda, a global leader in constant temperature equipment, introduces its latest product line - the Ultratemp process thermostats, tailored to meet the rigorous demands of biotechnological, biopharmaceutical, and industrial applications.

With heating and cooling outputs of 25 kW, 35 kW, or 50 kW, the Ultratemp devices are engineered to rapidly heat up or cool down large volumes. This capability proves invaluable for typical biotechnological, biopharmaceutical, and other industrial applications with diverse temperature and performance prerequisites.

The Ultratemp thermostats offer precise control over external consuming units within a range of -5°C to 60°C, maintaining a high temperature stability of ±0.5 K. This ensures accurate temperature control in various applications. The water-cooled refrigeration technology minimises heat discharge to the environment, and the use of non-flammable media, such as water or water-glycol, ensures straightforward handling and low operational costs.

These new Ultratemp process thermostats combine robustness with simplicity in operation. Standardised with protection level IP 54, they are shielded against splash water and are easy to clean, thanks to the high-quality stainless steel housing. Compatible with non-flammable temperature control media, the device is operated through function buttons and a clear LCD. The integrated Ethernet interface allows remote monitoring and control via a control station or PC. Moreover, external components like sensors (e.g., a Pt100 temperature probe) or signal transmitters can be connected.

The bi-frequency power supply (400 V; 3/PE; 50 Hz & 460 V; 3/PE; 60 Hz) equips the Ultratemp process thermostats for worldwide use. Additionally, they are available in an optimised design exclusively for 50 Hz. All variants can operate within an ambient temperature range of -15°C to 50°C.

The Ultratemp process thermostats expand Lauda's product range, delivering optimal solutions for biotechnological applications with reactor volumes of up to 5,000 litres. Specially designed to meet the demands of the biopharmaceutical industry and its processes, these devices provide the necessary high heating and cooling capacities for extended process times at a constant temperature of 37°C, followed by rapid cooling of the reactor content.

With the introduction of Ultratemp process thermostats, Lauda strengthens its product portfolio, reaffirming its commitment to innovative temperature control solutions that enhance productivity and efficiency in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and industry worldwide.
