ContiUnity® system by Zeton for modular and precise dosing processes
For our modular ContiUnity systems, we require dosing technology that delivers absolute stability even at very low flow rates. The micro annular gear pumps from HNP Mikrosysteme have been providing this precision reliably for many years. (Wouter Bolt, Sales Manager, Zeton BV)
Precise small quantity dosing
Zeton’s ContiUnity® pump module is designed for modular, continuous process solutions in fine chemical and pharmaceutical development and production. A key requirement is the stable dosing of small flow rates of low-viscosity or chemically demanding liquids.
To meet these requirements, Zeton integrates a micro annular gear pump from HNP Mikrosysteme. It is a critical component in achieving the high standards of precision, low pulsation, and process stability required in continuous processing environments.
What are the requirements for dosing low volumes in continuous processes?
In continuous processes, flow rate accuracy directly affects reaction conditions and results. Key requirements include:
- constant, reproducible flow rates
- minimal pulsation for stable reaction control
- chemical resistance to aggressive media
- GMP and ATEX compliance
- reliable integration into modular process systems
In Flow Chemistry in particular, dosing accuracy is essential for ensuring process stability and product quality.
How is dosing precision technically implemented in the ContiUnity® module?
To meet these requirements, Zeton integrates a micro annular gear pump from HNPM, for example the mzr-7259X2 Ex from the hermetically inert series, into the low flow rate pump module. It enables a constant flow rate from the lower milliliter range up to 192 ml/min.
Combined with integrated speed control, Coriolis flow measurement, and pressure monitoring, this results in a precisely controllable dosing solution. The magnetic coupling ensures leak-free operation, while the ATEX version allows use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
What benefits does this provide for modular process systems?
By integrating the micro annular gear pump, Zeton can:
- achieve highly precise low-volume dosing
- ensure stable flow rates with minimal pulsation
- enable accurate mixing ratios in continuous reactions
- scale processes from development to production
For many years, Zeton has relied on micro gear pumps from HNP Mikrosysteme. Their reliable dosing precision and stable volume flow control form an essential basis for the performance of the ContiUnity® modules.
