Flow Technology in conjunction with Quattroflow™ supply our customers special pumps for biotech processes.
How Quattroflow™ Quaternary Diaphragm Pumps Work
Quattroflow™ Quaternary Diaphragm Pumps are truly unique in that their method of operation mimics that of the human heart, which is the perfect model for the safe, reliable and efficient transfer of biological materials. The low-friction, low-shear and low-pulsation operation of Quattroflow pumps with minimal corresponding temperature increase makes them ideal for critical applications within biopharmaceutical manufacturing, including Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF), Chromatography (RFC), centrifuge feed, sterile virus filtration, purification and inline dilution. Quattroflow pumps can also be outfitted with a single-use liquid chamber, which enables them to meet strict speed-to-market manufacturing demands.
Quaternary Diaphragm Pumps
Quattroflow develops and manufactures, in close cooperation with their customers, specific multiple-use and single-use pumps for the critical applications in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry.
Whether in cross-flow systems, chromatography devices or centrifuges: the pumps gently convey aqueous solutions and biological products sensitive to shear force ranging from blood to vaccines without denaturing them.
Quattroflow Fluid Systems provides the best consultancy, precise sizing of the pumps and peripheral components, like flow, pressure and other process parameters, including control systems and data logging.
There are approximately 2,000 specialized Quattroflow pumps in operation worldwide at numerous pharmaceutical companies, including Blue-Chip names such as: Baxter, Roche, and Boehringer Ingelheim.

Tank cleaning
There are three technologies to meet every need:-
- The Alfa Laval static spray ball is the cleaning method of choice for low impact cleaning ofwater-soluble pro ducts.
Cleaning requires long cycle times and large volumes of cleaning fluids and subsequently large volumes of waste water.
- The Alfa Laval rotary spray head uses the rotary motion and physical impact of the cleaning media to remove sticky residues from the tank interior.
- The Alfa Laval rotary jet head provides a high-impact jet stream in a three-dimensional cleaning pattern to clean tough residues.
The result is a thoroughly clean tank using a fraction of the time, energy, water and cleaning chemicals required for other tank cleaning solutions. Cleaning In Place Video Presentation
Process Systems – Cleaning-in-Place Systems
Flow Technology will design the optimum solution for cleaning any type of process plant. Our solutions range from supply of individual sprayheads as above or to complete turnkey Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems.
Benefits
The benefits of a properly designed CIP system will very often provide tangible paybacks to justify the capital outlay. These include:- 
- Repeatability. Being independent of the plant operator the system will reproduce its defined program and maintain a record of each cleaning cycle.
- Elimination of dead legs or product/CIP mixing. Once the extent of each program has been incorporated into the process description the system will check each system component for correct position before the cycle can start.
- Economy of detergent, water or other rinse medium, steam, compressed air and effluent.
- Low labour costs. System does not require operator supervision.
- Safety. Eliminates conditions which may cause damage to process plant such as vessel implosion due to vacuum created by following hot cleaning cycle with cold rinse.
System Design
The following factors are carefully considered in the design of a CIP system:-
- Operating parameters to provide the desired cleaning effect – flowrate, pressure, temperature, detergent concentration, cleaning head cycle time.
- Cleaning medium – potable water ,purified water, WFI, or solvents.
- Cleaning head selection – static, rotary, or orbital sprayhead.
- Utilities to implement selected program – water, steam, compressed air, effluent.
- Standards of construction.
- Control system - i/o count, extendability and extent of data storage for program verification and trending status display including identification of fault conditions.
- Documentation requirements.
- Inspection and testing including PED or ATEX as appropriate.
