In pharmaceutical production, where solvents and other flammable ingredients are commonly used, equipment must meet strict ATEX/Ex requirements to ensure safe operation in hazardous areas. Flow measurement devices are a key part of many processes, including batching, dosing and transfer, so reliability and compliance are essential.
Oval Gear (OG) meters from Titan Enterprises fitted with a Namur sensor are well suited to these environments. They provide consistent, accurate measurement across a wide range of liquids, from low-viscosity solvents to more viscous pharmaceutical ingredients. This makes them useful in applications such as solvent addition, blending and filling, where repeatability and accuracy is important for product quality, safety and cost management.
The use of Namur sensors supports intrinsically safe operation, helping systems meet ATEX requirements in zoned areas. At the same time, the meters, constructed from 316 stainless steel, PEEK and chemically resistant elastomers, are compatible with aggressive chemicals and cleaning processes.
Titan’s OG meters’ compact design and ability to operate without complex upstream flow conditioning also make them easier to install in space-limited production areas.
Overall, these meters offer a practical solution for pharmaceutical manufacturers looking to maintain safe, compliant and accurate fluid measurement in ATEX-classified environments.
