Food, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries

The food, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries sometimes have identical requirements with regard to the measuring equipment at their production facilities. International guidelines an directives require increasingly reliable process management as well as high and consistent product quality. The hygienic design of production facilities and machinery now forms part of the EU Machine Directive (2006/42/EC).

The Hengesbach product range is tailored of the requirements of these sectors and offers a wide range of process measuring technology developed according to hygienic design criteria. EHEDG certificates, FDA accreditation certificates and material certificates according to EN 10 204 are available.
