Application
The key component in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products is the reactor. Different raw materials are mixed with solvents and made to react by applying heat and pressure. During this process, the pressure, temperature and consistency of the medium are changing constantly. A stirrer ensures homogeneous mixing of the product, and can also cause an agitated surface and heavy foaming. To ensure a reliable process, the liquid level in the reaction vessel must be reliably and continuously monitored.
