Fully automated integrity testing with touch screen control
palltronic Flowstar XC instruments perform accurate and precise measurement of the upstream Forward Flow, Bubble Point, Water Intrusion and combined Forward Flow/Bubble Point tests.
The palltronic Flowstar XC instrument is a unitized, compact and splash-proof filter integrity test instrument especially designed for use in the most demanding production environments.Featuring the latest in touch-screen technology, the palltronic Flowstar XC instrument is extremely user-friendly, with simple menu-driven data input. It can store up to 500 test programs and up to 10,000 test results, which makes it ideal for large-volume manufacturing and multi-product processes in the pharmaceutical industry.Its increased memory capacity provides maximum data-handling flexibility and security.In addition, an ethernet port is available in the palltronic Flowstar XC instrument that allows a high-speed PC link for a rapid data backup.The palltronic Flowstar XC instrument incorporates direct flow measurement technology, which can reduce testing times by 50% or more, without compromising the validity of test results.The 'High-Flow' palltronic Flowstar XC instrument is expressly designed for filter systems requiring high-flows, and is capable of providing flow rates up to 2000 mL/min without any reduction in flow measurement accuracy.
