SCHMIDT Technology was able to build on its success at Achema 2024
After a modestly attended Achema 2022, SCHMIDT Technology was able to build on its previous successes at Achema 2024. The number of visitors and contacts was not yet back to the old level of 2018, but there was an extremely strong increase. In addition to a large number of customers, many potential new customers also visited us. Very interesting discussions and promising contacts were made, so that the follow-up to the trade fair could be started with confidence. The focus of the exhibition was the robust flow sensor SS 20.700 for heavy-duty applications, the ATEX version SS 23.700 Ex of this sensor, as well as the new laminar flow probe SS 20.715 LED, which is derived from the sensor head design. This new sensor was particularly well received in clean applications with “contamination potential” from product dust or when there is a risk of damage to the dumbbell head sensor due to manipulation in the isolator through glove inlets.

Laminar flow monitoring - reliable and robust - even with intensive cleaning processes and use of aggressive media in pharmaceutical plants
Introducing the SCHMIDT® Flow Sensor SS 20.715 LED, a robust solution for continuous monitoring of laminar airflow in clean rooms and clean applications. With sensor elements completely encapsulated in stainless steel, it impresses with its resistance to aggressive media and dirt and also offers very good protection during the rough cleaning of pharmaceutical systems.
Monitoring the flow in cleanrooms and clean areas
A direction-defined air flow in clean rooms protects products from contamination and disruptive particles are safely removed. For this purpose, a uniform air flow from the ceiling to the floor is maintained in clean rooms with high cleanliness classes ("directed, low-turbulence displacement flow"; monitoring range from wN = 0.36 to 0.54 m/s). The measurement is carried out on the clean room side after the terminal filters. Since the air circulation is throttled during idle times, high-precision measurement of the air speed from 0.1 m/s is necessary.
The solution: measuring the supply air flow with the SCHMIDT® flow sensor SS 20.715 LED
According to the EN ISO 14644-3 standard, the air speed is measured at a distance of around 150 to 300 mm below the front surface of the filter. For easy installation in ceiling and wall systems, the thermal SCHMIDT® flow sensor SS 20.715 LED offers a cleanroom-compatible quick mounting system. The sensor is extremely compact, as all the electronics are built into the sensor tube and therefore no turbulence is generated in the low-turbulence displacement flow.
Individually adapted to each application
There are 3 standard variants to choose from for optimal installation in different applications. The laminar flow sensor can be mounted on the wall in a straight version with a sensor length of 300 mm or in an angled form under the ceiling of the clean room or the bottling plant. The angled design can be configured with the dimensions 270 x 300 mm or 150 x 300 mm (where the first dimension defines the distance to the ceiling; plus mounting system).
Robust solution for pure applications with aggressive media or intensive cleaning
The thermal SCHMIDT® flow sensor SS 20.715 LED is the robust solution for extremely challenging clean room applications. Product changes in pharmaceutical filling plants or simply internal requirements force operators of clean rooms and plants in clean areas to clean them regularly. If aggressive media are used or if more intensive cleaning is required due to significant or very stubborn dirt, the new laminar flow flow sensor SS 20.715 LED with double pin sensor head made of stainless steel is the first choice. The double pin sensor was designed precisely for the aforementioned needs and is ideally suited for demanding applications thanks to the sensor elements completely encapsulated in stainless steel. In addition to the flow rate, the SS 20.715 LED also records the medium temperature from -20 °C to +70 °C. Thanks to the SCHMIDT® quick mounting system, which is suitable for clean rooms, the SS 20.715 LED can be exchanged for an existing sensor without any additional effort and installed as easily as usual. The sensor works without moving parts and due to the measuring principle, drift or aging are irrelevant. Due to the sensor elements being completely encapsulated in stainless steel, the maintenance of the sensor is reduced to an absolute minimum. However, should cleaning be necessary, this can be carried out very easily and in a variety of ways.
High accuracy and detection of the smallest currents
The special double-pin sensor head records flow velocities from 0.1 m/s up to 10 m/s in three selectable measuring ranges (1 / 2.5 / 10 m/s). In order to obtain precise measurement results in this speed range, each sensor is individually adjusted and calibrated in a high-quality wind tunnel. On request, the sensor can also be supplied with a DAkkS-accredited calibration.
Highlights of the SCHMIDT® flow sensor SS 20.715 LED: For laminar flow applications with aggressive components or intensive cleaning processes
Sensor elements completely encapsulated in stainless steel enable extremely easy cleaning
Very robust and extremely compact design (electronics integrated in the sensor tube)
3 sensor length variants: straight design: 300 mm
angled design: 150 or 270 x 300 mm Measuring ranges 0 … 1 / 2.5 / 10 m/s
Temperature measurement range from -20 to +70 °C
Linear analog output for measured value output
Integrated sensor self-monitoring with error signaling
Operating status display and serial number of the sensor visible on the sensor when installed
Special version for laminar flow monitoring in clean rooms with quick assembly technology for easy installation in clean room ceiling and clean room wall systems
DAkkS-accredited calibration (optional) SCHMIDT® Flow sensor SS 20.715 LED: Especially designed for laminar flow applications with intensive cleaning processes: Thanks to the sensor elements completely encapsulated in stainless steel, they are ideal for demanding applications in clean rooms and in clean processes suitable and resistant to aggressive media.

LOUNGES 2023 – Cleanroom Processes
The international industry event for cleanroom processes - LOUNGES 2023 - took place in Karlsruhe from 18 to 20 April 2023. SCHMIDT Technology was also present again as an exhibitor and was able to make new contacts and strengthen existing relationships.
On three very well attended trade fair days, the SCHMIDT® Flow Sensor SS 20.715 LED was presented as a product innovation to the high-expert audience. The SS 20.715 LED is a flow sensor for monitoring laminar flow in cleanrooms, clean applications and processes. The main focus here is on the safe and energy-efficient operation of cleanrooms, as well as pharmaceutical production, filling and packaging systems. In addition to the new SS 20.715 LED, a cleanroom demonstrator was used to demonstrate the principle of overflow measurement from cleanroom to cleanroom and to show visitors the effects of opening doors and airlocks. For this cleanroom application, the SCHMIDT flow sensor SS 20.400 is used, which particularly stands out with its unique functionality of bi-directional measurement and thus ensures safe operation of the cleanroom day and night. Even in clean applications in explosive atmospheres, this sensor in ATEX design can be used safely. At LOUNGES 2023, visitors were once again able to listen to numerous specialist presentations, including one from SCHMIDT Technology on the topic of "Verification and Calibration of Flow Sensors". Here we were able to show the attentive expert audience the differences between verification or reference measurement and manufacturer calibration and go into more detail about the differences between factory calibration and DAkkS-accredited calibration. Looking back, LOUNGES 2023 was once again a great success.
