Tacmina’s unique Smoothflow technology offers best-in-class solutions to support a wide range of mission critical liquid transfer applications, especially when the process requires any combination of the following attributes:
- Gentle Transfer – Tacmina Q Series pumps motivate fluids with little to no shear making them ideal for handling delicate, shear sensitive materials, cell, and biologic materials
- Accurate Flow Control – transfer fluids with single microliter control and repeatability within 0.01% of full scale, event to event
- Scalability – from a single microliter per minute to hundreds of liters per minute, Tacmina Smoothflow Technology delivers the same high-performance across the full flow range making them ideal for applications that start in a lab and end up on the production floor
- Versatile – from aggressive, highly concentrated acids to delicate cellular cultures, buffers and process liquids, including slurries, Tacmina Smoothflow pumps handle them with ease
- Sanitary by Design – CIP-ready, easy to clean, autoclavable, single-use options
- Flexible Control Options – from OEM/embedded options driven from your choice of controller or choose a model with a fully integrated, programmable front panel push button control
