MKS Introduces Series 48 Filter Housing Heaters
A cost-effective, user-friendly solution for biopharmaceutical applications
Andover, MA, February 4, 2008 - MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of technologies that enable advanced processes and improve productivity, has introduced the Series 48 Filter Housing Heaters for biopharmaceutical processes requiring advanced thermal control of material viscosities and vapor condensation. The easily removed Series 48 Heaters significantly reduce maintenance times and provide a cost-effective solution that replaces heat trace tape, steam jackets and supporting hardware. The integrated temperature controller, protected by a NEMA 4X enclosure, features enhanced safety features, with high/low temperature alerts and high-limit power switching.
The Series 48 Heaters' unique adjustable temperature controller accommodates higher temperatures for stainless steel housings and lower temperatures for single use housings. This heater jacket is maintenance-friendly with corrosion-resistant stainless steel snaps for easy installation or removal. The NEMA 4X temperature controller enclosure is resistant to water, dust, corrosion, and damage from ice buildup. The control components reside inside the enclosure, away from the heat source, extending heater life.
The controller's digital display allows easy adjustment of temperature set points, high/low temperature alerts, high temperature safety limits (with power switching), and the control mode. The digital interface and temperature display options offer greater versatility and functionality, permitting remote display, control and diagnostics for individual heaters when combined with the optional Modbus RTU communications module. User-adjustable over-temperature protection significantly reduces downtime potential and the need to stock replacement heaters. No-arc relay ensures long controller lifetime and increased reliability.
