The new Certa Plus pump series (photo) provides sustainable, high-quality, versatile fluid management for the pharmaceutical industry. Certa Plus is an innovative advancement over conventional lobe pumps, offering pharmaceutical manufacturers lower shear, lower power consumption, full traceability and ultimate cleanability when transferring syrups, oils, creams and gels. Certa Plus was developed to guarantee cleanliness, with added capabilities that assure quality across a wide range of pharmaceutical products. The efficient design of the pump not only reduces cleaning time but also saves electricity, minimizing cost and carbon footprint. The pump is said to require up to 50% less power than lobe or circumferential piston pumps. — Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group, Falmouth, U.K.
