BASF Functional Chemicals and Bosch's experimental systems business unit have joined forces to create an advanced high-throughput screening device. This innovative equipment is designed to rapidly analyze the composition of pigments, resins, and additives in coating formulations, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy in quality control processes. The state-of-the-art automated inspection system will soon be deployed at BASF's Ludwig plant, marking a major step forward in the company's commitment to cutting-edge technology. It is anticipated that this system will also be made available to domestic and international customers in the coming year, enhancing their ability to conduct precise and reliable analyses.
The device is highly versatile, capable of analyzing a wide range of coating types, including single-component and two-component solvent-based coatings, as well as more specialized options such as coil coatings, waterborne coatings, and UV-curing coatings. Its adaptability makes it an essential tool for researchers and manufacturers looking to optimize formulation performance and meet evolving industry standards. By integrating this advanced technology into their workflow, BASF and its partners are not only streamlining operations but also setting new benchmarks for innovation in the coatings sector.
Automatic Medical Airtight Doors
Overview Automatic medical airtight hospital sliding and swing doors provide secure, hygienic and efficient access solutions for modern healthcare facilities. Designed for operating rooms, ICUs, radiology suites and cleanrooms, these doors combine high airtightness, radiation shielding, fire resistance and thermal insulation to protect patients, staff and sensitive equipment.
Â
Key features
Â
Hermetic sealing: multi‑layer perimeter gaskets, drop seals and V‑groove guides maintain cleanroom integrity and limit air exchange.
Â
Radiation protection: lead‑lined cores and lead‑glass vision panels are available to meet required lead equivalence for X‑ray and CT rooms.
Â
Fire and thermal performance: fire‑rated construction and insulated cores improve safety and energy efficiency.
Â
Automatic modes: sliding or swing automation with infrared, microwave, hand/foot sensors and push‑button control; smooth, low‑noise operation.
Â
Safety & control Advanced microprocessor control enables soft start/stop, adjustable speed and dwell time, anti‑pinch sensors, emergency manual override and interlock with imaging or HVAC systems. Redundant safety edges, obstruction detection and audible/visual indicators ensure reliable protection in high‑traffic medical environments.
Â
Applications Ideal for operating theatres, radiology departments, isolation wards, pharmacies, clean corridors and laboratories where contamination control, radiation shielding and touch‑free access are critical to workflow and patient safety.
Â
Customization & service Available in stainless steel, powder‑coated steel or aluminum finishes; panel fillings include PU, honeycomb and specified lead thicknesses. Optional features: glazed observation windows, LED “IN/OUT†indicators, access control, nurse‑call integration and fire‑rated variants. Professional site survey, installation and after‑sales maintenance support ensure long service life and regulatory compliance.
Â
Standards & maintenance Manufactured with easy‑clean surfaces and hygienic details to support GMP and hospital cleanliness requirements. Routine inspection of seals, sensors and drive units preserves airtight performance and operational safety. Contact our team for tailored solutions and technical consultation.
