Datwyler provides an insight into the development, manufacture and application of its sealing components, which can be equipped with sensors and thus be used for predictive maintenance. The focus is on the benefits for electric vehicles. An article by Andreas Minatti, Head of Business Development.
Precision is his craft. The polymechanic Simon Vogel still has his appearance at Swiss-Skills ahead of him. He won't have to wait much longer: from next week he will be competing with the seven best graduates in his field.
Simulation opens up great potential for rationalisation in component development. The automotive industry is a key driver for many developments in the sealing and polymer sector. This already has an effect during prototyping. DICHT! discussed why this is the case with Rudolf Randler, Head of Simulation, Andreas Minatti, Head of Business Development, and Konrad Dubler, Team Leader Engineering Mobility of Datwyler Switzerland Ltd.
In May, Project Jumpstart, a public-private initiative, was announced that will pump $138 million into the production of 100 million prefilled syringes by the end of this year and another 500 million in 2021, should a COVID-19 vaccine become available. Yet, industry gurus do not necessarily agree that the pandemic will have a positive impact on the injection delivery market. Datwyler’s Global Platform Leader for Prefilled Syringes and Cartridges, Carina van Eester, discusses the important role that coated plungers play in ensuring the appropriate functionality and compatibility of injection devices.
Engaging with expert component suppliers can provide a competitive edge as players scramble to prepare for electrification, writes Datwyler's Andreas Minatti.
A thermoset cover contributes to a 25% lighter combustion engine in the Leimot research project, for which Datwyler contributes a sealing solution.
When Lives and Livelihoods Depend on Accelerating Large Molecule Drug Production, Biopharma Companies must Minimize Defects and Contamination» says Massimo Mainetti, Global Head of Marketing and Product Management, Datwyler.
Datwyler takes a closer look at how safe, sustainable and more intelligent mobility is being enabled by the evolution of components in the cars of the future.
Close cooperation between manufacturer and supplier is a must, particularly as the requirements at a component level can be entirely different for electric or hybrid vehicles.
The requirements for material and component parts in electromobility are more extensive than in the field of combustion engines. Andreas Minatti, Head of Business Development at Datwyler, talks about the challenges of electrification from the perspective of a sealing expert.

Hand over responsibility, let the employees decide for themselves: Many companies want to establish a new management culture. That sounds tempting. But is it also crisis-proof – for example in the Corona pandemic?
Carina Van Eester explores the benefits of fully coated plungers for prefilled syringes and cartridges.
Plunger Designed with Functionality in Mind.
The growth of injectables, personalized medicine, anti-counterfeiting measures, and automation are a few trends that may follow the industry into a new normal.
Embedding RFID tags in elastomer components enables 100% traceability and assignment.
Rahul Thakar, PhD, technical key account manager at Datwyler Pharma, discusses the rise of injectables, quality control measures, and personalization.
Datwyler has launched its NeoFlex plungers to help developers better protect the integrity of injectable formulations and optimise the functionality of prefilled syringes and cartridge.
Many mobile, motorized work tools draw their energy from a two-stroke engine. A critical issue for the durability of these devices is the durability of the carburetors, or more precisely their components, which is why a new approach to the design and manufacture of carburetor diaphragms made of PEEK has been developed.
Investigation of the compatibility of dielectric fluids under consideration of the stability of the sealing materials used.
Container closure integrity (CCI) is an increasingly relevant issue in the pharmaceutical packaging industry. It addresses the maintenance of integrity to prevent microbial ingress in sterile product packaging until the time of use, as well as to restrict the loss of product contents and to prevent the entry of detrimental gases or other materials.
With the advent of biologics and highly sensitive drugs, primary packaging materials must meet the highest-level of functional, regulatory and cleanliness standards to ensure compatibility and ultimately, patient safety. Rahul Thakar, PhD, discusses Datwyler's solution to these ever-stricter requirements is their highest-quality manufacturing standard, FristLine™.
