Quantex News: Consumer & Industrial

Liquid dosing plays a vital role in countless industries, from ensuring precise quantities in food and drink production, to guaranteeing consistent quality in polymer product manufacture. But beyond the intricate mechanics and technical specifications, there's an often-overlooked factor that can significantly impact the entire process: adding colour. In this blog, we’ll explore how you can achieve mess-free, easy and rapid colour changeovers that will save downtime and minimise the risk of spills with the help of Quantex disposable/single-pack-use pumps.

In this blog, we’ll explore how Quantex’s game-changing pump technology can provide a radical new hygienic, easy-to-use, cost-saving and sustainable pumping solution that could impact the beauty industry in a number of ways.

At Quantex, we understand that dispensing highly-concentrated solutions can be very challenging. Higher concentrations often mean higher viscosity fluids, and most pump technologies struggle to transfer thicker liquids. However, product manufacturers are keen to reduce their carbon footprint and one way of doing this is to ship less water, which is not only good for the environment, but it also reduces costs in a number of ways.

Quantex is excited to announce the official launch of its brand-new pump driver device, the Q-Drive-Alpha. Until now, Quantex has offered driver device equipment for evaluation purposes only, and these kits require separate tablet software to control, but the Q-Drive Alpha is an easy-to-use, CE marked, plug-and-play system, providing a stand-alone dispenser that can be used both for pump evaluation as well as for commercial use in production or laboratories.

Product viscosity is a very important consideration for any manufacturer or flow-control engineer who manages the dispense of thick, highly viscous liquids, but especially for those working with chocolate or confectionery-related products due to the unique and variable viscosity of chocolate.

Quantex is proud to announce that it is working in partnership with PSG Biotech’s well-established pump brand, Quattroflow, to develop its growth within the biopharmaceutical industry. At the same time, Quantex also declares that it is not seeking any new pump solutions for medical market applications.

Viscosity is defined as the “interaction between the different molecules in a fluid – this can be also understood as friction between the molecules in the fluid” and can be measured with various types of viscometers and rheometers using the measurement of centipoise (cP). When creating produce for consumption, manufacturers need to understand the effect created by food and beverage viscosity, which can be affected by the conditions within which it's used, and are an important consideration when determining manufacturing methods.

Following our acquisition by PSG®, an operating company of Dover Corporation, our website has undergone some minor aesthetic changes to reflect our new ownership, alongside our Quantex pumps receiving a name-change. Whilst the game-changing pumps themselves remain the same high-quality that you’re used to, we listened to our customer’s feedback and created a new naming convention for our product portfolio.

At Quantex, we’re proud that our revolutionary pump technology is positively altering the liquid manufacturing process for the food and drink industry.

Ecover is showcasing a new liquid refill machine using Quantex Recyclable Pumps, as a part of its Refillery event experience this week. The new machine is an exciting leap forward for retail bulk dispensing, making maintenance and consumer interaction simple, quick and easy.

Quantex is excited to launch its new Low Flow Pump Range which combines all of the best features from our entire range of pumps and will replace both the LR-13 and AM-13..

100% recyclable, over 11% lighter with a self-regulating pressure safety feature.

Considering how compact, low-cost and lightweight our Quantex pumps are, the suction power and pressure they generate is impressive to say the least...

Quantex pumps are so low cost to manufacture that they are designed for single-pack-use, which may seem to be going against the trend to save plastic waste, but here is how Quantex pumps are actually helping this global issue.
