Now ViscoTec Asia can also support customers who are faced with challenging dosing tasks with the new office and laboratory space. ViscoTec Asia - Laboratory in Hanoi The new offices are located ...

The field of e-Mobility is ever-changing and subject to a rapid rate of development. Lithium-ion battery manufacturers and OEMs are aware that – even when the technical parameters are constantly changing – one element always has to stay the same to compete on the international market: cell quality. In-depth, interdisciplinary expertise is key to ensuring this quality des...

Once technology has proven that it is not only good, but first-class, it can later serve as a model for new developments and upgrades. The best example of this is the 2-component vipro-HEAD printheads established in the industrial sector. The 2-component version was recently the inspiration for the upgrade of the 1-component vipro-HEAD in the 3/3 and 5/5 versions. The en...

Filling nail gel is one of the more complex applications due to the viscosity of the material. Nail gel is a chemically aggressive, UV-reactive modeling material that only hardens with the aid of UV light. With the vipura-PUMP 10T, ViscoTec has now developed a dosing technology that does equal justice to the high viscosity and the enormously stringy behavior of nail gels...

As a brand of the ViscoTec company, preeflow® has developed very well over the past decade; with the demand for technologies for precise, purely volumetric dispensing of liquids in small and very small quantities growing. Now those responsible at preeflow® have switched completely to sustainable packaging. The successful pilot project serves as a model on the basis of wh...

With the vipro-PUMP series, ViscoTec is launching a totally new generation of dispensers. A new design, optimised dosing components and a modular construction provide numerous opportunities for adapting the dosing equipment even more effectively to the relevant application. The core of the new generation is the innovative, modular design of the dispenser. On the one han...

For twelve months (2021) ViscoTec was part of a research project called AGREED - "Automation for flexible and expandable shell assemblies with digital intelligence".

The prize, a porcelain lion, was presented by Minister of Economic...

With the flowplus-SPT M6, ViscoTec is now launching the world's smallest flush pressure sensor with a chemical - largely inert - pressure membrane made of FFKM. The miniature sensor is also currently the only sensor that achieves both pressure and temperature measurement with an M6 thread as process connection and a sensor body that is only 15.3 mm short. Here, the flowp...

The dosing technology specialist from Töging is now represented in Asia with a total of four branches and can thus fully serve this broad market. After nine successful years in mainland China, with headquarters in Shanghai (2013) and a branch office in Dongguan in southern China (2018), the decision to open a third Chinese location was quite easy. Hong Kong's internation...

The mobility revolution is closely linked to the question of which battery technology is sustainable, cost-efficient, and safe enough to be permanently established for electric cars, commercial vehicles, e-bikes or two-wheelers. The operational reliability of such a storable battery depends to a large extent on its clean machining: On the one hand, the individual batt...

If pet food producers want to continue to meet the growing demand for pet food and the desire for variety and diversity in the coming years, they will need high-performance processing technologies that enable the conveying, filling, and dosing of ingredients. Furthermore, the production facilities must be able to withstand what has been tested on a laboratory scale: It...

The accurate and clean feeding of adhesives pastes, and silicones of different viscosities is still often a challenge. A suitable solution is particularly needed in electronics manufacturing, where adhesives or other two-component materials are frequently used, and accurate mixing and precise application are essential. vipro-FEED DC enables automated constant dischargi...

Although the printing of complete functional organs is still a dream of the future, research, and development of clinical bioprinter applications are making great strides. New technologies are needed to further improve the printing process of organic substances and to establish the three-dimensional construction of living cells layer by layer. It can be assumed that th...

Alginate is one of the most used materials in bioprinting. In addition to relatively low material costs, the mechanical properties and printability are also an advantage for the material. However, with existing extrusion systems such as pneumatic- or syringe extrusion, irregularities in the bioprinting of models can occur due to process variations. With the Puredyne® kit...

Health awareness among consumers has been growing, and not just since the COVID-19 pandemic. Natural and plant-based foods that have particularly high nutritional value or health-related benefits are very popular. One ingredient that accompanies this trend is date paste. It is really healthy, but not entirely easy to manage for food processing companies. In addition to t...

Limited mounting space due to closely arranged formats for small packaging sizes combined with high output - what could the perfect dosing solution for this task look like? Compact filling nozzles, which are installed as battery arrangements, nozzle blocks, or in multiple lines in large filling systems, are an important building block on the way to the most efficient pro...

Craft Health Private Limited in Singapore, one of ViscoTec Asia’s customers, uses the vipro-HEAD 5 print head for 3D printing of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.

ViscoTec dispensing pumps have already proven themselves in numerous applications as the optimal tool for handling highly abrasive materials. Dispensing tests were carried out for one customer with its new 1-component heat-conducting paste at the ViscoTec technical center. The extremely abrasive and, at the same time, highly viscous material had to be dispensed onto a pr...

The 2VMP22-3D facilitates the dispensing of single-component fluids and pastes in larger quantities. Compared to existing dispensing pumps of the VMP series in the ViscoTec portfolio, the 2VMP22-3D impresses with its larger dispensing capacity due to 3D geometry with the same frame size: > 5 liters per minute. Another advantage are different elastomers for the stators, ...

Henning Pedersen, CEO and owner of Scanmaster explains, "The name ViScaFeed says it all: This system aims to feed another syst...

Smaller portions and larger margins are the trend among food companies. This implies that a change of the requirements for dosing and filling technology is necessary. The latest product in the Hygienic series in the ViscoTec portfolio, the vipura-PUMP 10T dosing and filling pump, fits in perfectly with this trend. The compact design of the vipura-PUMP 10T makes it easy ...

Powders in the conventional sense are known as solids. Their classic manufacturing process is called Powder Compaction: Dry powders are compacted with a pounder to form a solid unit (a disc or other form). Finished products are i.e. eye shadow or blush. However, in some manufacturing processes these powders are formulated in a liquid phase. This often results in comple...

The static-dynamic mixer vipro-DUOMIX is perfectly suited for compressible, two-component materials with very different viscosities, extreme mixing ratios and high-pressure sensitivity. The extended version with optimized mixing blocks for low-viscosity, and high-viscosity materials on either side brings a further advantage: It is ideally suited for materials that are di...

Protecting the environment while reducing costs – let us take a look at existing dispensing processes in the aerospace industry: It is only in a few cases that they are state of the art. Dispensing technology, in association with sealing applications in particular, can be improved. The prerequisite: The process is viewed comprehensively, and an individual solution develo...
