Product viscosity is a very important consideration for any manufacturer or flow-control engineer who manages the dispense of thick, highly viscous liquids, but especially for those working with chocolate or confectionery-related products due to the unique and variable viscosity of chocolate.

Quantex is proud to announce that it is working in partnership with PSG Biotech’s well-established pump brand, Quattroflow, to develop its growth within the biopharmaceutical industry. At the same time, Quantex also declares that it is not seeking any new pump solutions for medical market applications.

Viscosity is defined as the “interaction between the different molecules in a fluid – this can be also understood as friction between the molecules in the fluid” and can be measured with various types of viscometers and rheometers using the measurement of centipoise (cP). When creating produce for consumption, manufacturers need to understand the effect created by food and beverage viscosity, which can be affected by the conditions within which it's used, and are an important consideration when determining manufacturing methods.

As the year is coming to its close, we’ve been reflecting on what has been an exceptional year of change at Quantex. Change that has kept us busy, laying foundations for rapid growth in 2023 and beyond. With everything that’s evolved, we’ve learnt so much, and we wanted to share with you, our Quantex company 2022 round-up.

Following our acquisition by PSG®, an operating company of Dover Corporation, our website has undergone some minor aesthetic changes to reflect our new ownership, alongside our Quantex pumps receiving a name-change. Whilst the game-changing pumps themselves remain the same high-quality that you’re used to, we listened to our customer’s feedback and created a new naming convention for our product portfolio.

Due to new product expansion and Quantex growth, we have taken the important step to improve and evolve our manufacturing facilities by moving our Head Office to Duisburg, Germany.
