In many industrial processes, mixing is treated as a supporting operation rather than a primary design variable. Conventional stirred tanks remain the default choice across chemical, biochemical, and pharmaceutical industries, often selected early in the flowsheet and rarely reassessed. However, increasing pressure on energy efficiency, process robustness, and downstream stability is driving renewed attention to […]

Why Are Candle Filters Important in Today’s Industrial Operations? Modern processing environments demand filtration systems that deliver operational robustness, scalable performance and long-term reliability. As organizations pursue efficiency, sustainability and risk-controlled production, candle filtration has become a strategic technology choice. As a Swiss engineering company, DrM builds its FUNDABAC® and CONTIBAC® systems on deep application expertise and rigorous design standards, […]

Harvesting plasmid DNA from high-density E. coli fermentation Plasmids are commonly produced from E. coli and can be difficult to harvest, as the fermentations are often grown to extremely high cell densities. Depth filters foul easily and need to be replaced, and centrifuges struggle to get low filtrate turbidity. FUNDALOOP® has had success in this area, and has […]

A great update from DrM Poland’s new production hall! To support continued growth and rising customer demand, DrM has expanded its production facilities in Poland with a new manufacturing hall. This investment strengthens our production capacity, optimizes internal workflows, and enhances operational efficiency across our filtration and mixing technologies. The new hall forms part of […]

What Material? That’s the Question Material science has left us with difficult choices. With the proliferation of types of metals, alloys and polymers on the market today, engineers need to carefully weigh cost, flexibility and risk to come up with the best possible combination of materials with the mechanical and chemical properties suited for a […]

DrM is expanding in Poland DrM is continuing to expand its operations in Poland. Our subsidiary in Włocławek has secured a new industrial site, ideally located approximately 10 minutes from the city center. The facility offers excellent infrastructure and is well suited to support our production and operational requirements. The new site covers a total […]

Since the onset of the industrial revolution the chemical industry spread itself into more and more applications targeting the industrial and consumer markets alike. Especially organic chemistry gave a never ending playing field, starting with simple products, such as fatty acids, dyes and pigments but developing into complex polymers and active pharmaceutical ingredients making our […]

How can manufacturers de-bottleneck viscose, chlorination, and surfactant processes during demand spikes? Just a few months ago the World was still normal, at least what we consider our World. Now, we have been blasted into a new normal with an unknown outcome. Lives are shaken up, markets collapsed and companies are struggling to find their […]

Production of N95 masks   Just a few months ago nobody would have expected the need to wear face masks in public. And yet, here we are, trying to get our hands on this sought-after item, each one of us seemingly becoming specialist in understanding the different types, names and forms during the coronavirus outbreak. […]

Precipitated silica Since many years the tire industry relies on precipitated silica as an important reinforcement agent in the rubber to improve its performance, such as wet-skid resistance, steering controllability and wear resistance. In general, it plays a major role in the safety of a vehicle and its fuel consumption. But precipitated silica are also […]

Despite intensive research with alternative materials, there is nothing on the horizon which could replace Lithium Both Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH) and Lithium Carbonate (LiCO3) prices have been pointing downwards for the past few months and the recent market shakeup certainly does not improve the situation. However, despite intensive research with alternative materials, there is nothing […]
