2017 Award Winner
EZ-Set Pump Chamber Replacing System from Quattroflow
Over the past several years, the incorporation of single-use technologies has become more and more popular thanks to the growing development of biologically derived drugs. To maximize the commercial window of these drugs, manufacturers must overcome speed-to-market challenges. The Quattroflow EZ-Set Pump Chamber Replacing System is a new technology that has the capacity to help optimize the product-development timeline. With the system, users can replace a single-use pump chamber in 30 seconds or less without the use of special tools or torque wrenches. In addition, the comfortable handgrip design of the Quattroflow EZ-Set makes replacing the pump chamber simple, and users can do it even while wearing rubber globes. It is quick, it is easy and it is safe.
By allowing users to replace a single-use pump chamber by hand and by eliminating the needs for tools, the EZ-Set reduces downtime between batches and provides a quick, easy and trouble-free installation of single-use pump chambers. Replacing a single-use pump chamber with a competitive replacing system is more complex, increasing downtime between batches and creating more work for the end user. Additionally, the EZ-Set is retrofittable on existing drives, making upgrades quick and easy.
