The VisuNet HMI remote monitor by Pepperl+Fuchs is ideal for cleaning applications in pharmaceuticals.

Process Instruments and Components Inc. (PIC) has logged 28 years in the business of supplying industrial solutions for hazardous areas, and it is Canada’s top source for Pepperl+Fuchs products. This includes the VisuNet series of workstations and related equipment, like the VisuNet HMI remote monitor for Zone 1 systems.

A recent blog entry by Pepperl+Fuchs discusses how this monitor is ideal for streamlining cleaning processes in the pharmaceutical industry.

Following strict cleaning guidelines

In the United States, according to Pepperl+Fuchs, the Food and Drug Administration requires pharmaceutical manufacturers to follow strict cleaning guidelines. The company must clean, maintain, and sanitize and sterilize at appropriate intervals (depending on the nature of the drug being produced) any equipment it uses during production, in order to prevent malfunction or contamination. In Canada, it is also wise to clean pharmaceutical batch process tanks on a regular basis.

Once the company has used water and various chemicals to clean gels, dyes, proteins, and other manufacturing residue thoroughly from every batch process tank, workers have to drain the wastewater. Each tank is connected to the facility’s solvent drainage system, in which waste drains into a standard sewer system or into certified storage tanks for hazardous waste. This is where the VisuNet remote monitor from PIC comes in handy, to streamline the process.

Pepperl+Fuchs’ ATEX and IECEX Zone 1 panel mount solutions are essential for process visualization. These rugged monitors are built with high-quality, industrial-grade components and designed for reliable performance. The VisuNet remote monitor is an all-in-one solution that mounts directly in process machinery, a cabinet, or a specially designed housing and pedestal.

This monitor is certified for use in hazardous work environments and uses innovative VisuNet RM Shell 5 firmware to make it easier for plant operators to monitor and control tank drainage and batch process. Users can configure and connect the firmware to the facility’s SCADA system in three simple steps and then fine-tune and tailor it to the application at hand with auto-connection, auto-reconnection, and backup connection to ensure full-time availability.

For state-of-the-art industrial solutions, rely on Pepperl+Fuchs.
