Fluid technology group expands gasket range Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) has launched the expanded BioPure gasket range, using new materi- als to cover a wider range of applications to meet demand for consistent quality in bioprocessing components. biotechnology production processes, reducing validation risks in contamina- tion-free applications. Each of the high- purity gaskets has been engineered to deliver sealing performance under clamping compression. ments; and USP Class VI compliance and animal derived component free (ADCF). Product manager Mark Lovallo commented, “This extension to the BioPure range of gaskets further strengthens WMFTG’s portfolio, enabling complete end-to-end fluid management.” Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group – UK www.wmftg.com Air flow amplifiers to extract dust and fumes The new PTFE and Viton ® gaskets use innovative materials, polytetrafluoroeth- ylene and a synthetic rubber and fluo- ropolymer elastomer, to provide a high level of chemical and steam resistance. BioPure gaskets support leak-resistant connectivity within pharmaceutical and The BioPure range offers lot traceability on every component; silicone products manufactured and packed in an ISO 14644-1 Class 7 cleanroom; compliancy with FDA regulations CFR 21 177.2600; dedicated validation and qualification data to help achieve cGMP require-

requirements. The range of Vortec Air Flow Amplifiers deliver flow rates from 32 to 2,300 SCFM. Aluminium housings are standard, with stainless steel available for aggressive environments. In addition to ventilating and exhausting welding fumes, soldering and machine smoke, tank fumes and other gases, they are suitable for de-dusting of grain, trimming operations such as paper or cloth, removal of metal chips, sawdust and scrap, or conveying of plastic pellets, small parts, powders, etc. The Air Flow Amplifiers can easily adapt from extraction and ventilation of fumes and gases to blow-off applications, such as drying of parts and cooling of mouldings, castings and food products. They can improve quality through better weigh sorting of under-filled or under- weight capsules, parts and other light

Vortec’s range of Air Flow Amplifiers extract smoke, fumes and debris to enhance safety, ergonomics and productivity in a wide range of applications, including welding, brazing and soldering. With no moving parts to wear out or break down, the components are inherently safe. The high-flow, bladeless blowers take ordinary compressed air and amplify it up to 60-fold, in un-ducted applications (12- to 20-fold amplification in ducted applications). They are easily mounted, ducted and moved, and with adjustable airflow and output they can be tailored to the project’s requirements. With no electrical requirements, they can be mounted wherever there is compressed air, and their quiet operation meets OSHA noise
