Enhancing Filling Accuracy with Clamp-On Flow Meters

With its fill & filtration platform RoSS.FILL, Single Use Support offers unlimited scalability for aseptic filling from laboratory to commercial production. The modular platform is designed for filling multiple smaller and larger volumes between 1 mL and 1000 L into single-use bags or bioprocessing containers.

For low volume dispensing at a commercial scale, accuracy and repeatability are essential. To achieve a filling accuracy range of even less than ± 1 mL with the RoSS.FILL platform, Single Use Support decided to implement SONOFLOW CO.55 V3.0 ultrasonic flow meters. The sensors are easily clamped on the tubing and measure without any contact and therefore without any risk of contamination or leakage.

Designed with a special focus on low flow applications, SONOFLOW CO.55 V3.0 clamp-on flow meters combine excellent measurement accuracy over a wide flow range and highest clamp-to-clamp repeatability. Hence, the non-contact sensor is perfectly suited for single-use environments with regular tubing replacements.

With the smallest footprint in the market, the compact and reliable flow meter with built-in electronics has been easily integrated into the RoSS.FILL platform. All non-gravimetric small volume filling lines are equipped with an ultrasonic SONOFLOW CO.55 V3.0 sensor to precisely measure and subsequently control the dispensed fluid. Thus, Single Use Support guarantees exact filling in bags from laboratory to commercial production.
