COMPAMED: "Networking and making new connections is very easy"

COMPAMED 2019 took place a few weeks ago, but it is still having a powerful impact not least because many exhibitors are already planning their next trade fair visit. We sat down with Nils Kerlin to talk about the innovations his company showcased at COMPAMED and found out what makes this trade fair so interesting for his company.

Mr. Kerlin, you were an exhibitor at COMPAMED 2019 in Düsseldorf. What new products did your company showcase?

Nils Kerlin: Schwarzer Precision is the technology leader in the development and production of miniature and precision pumps to deliver gases and fluids. At COMPAMED 2019, we highlighted our manifold mountings. These are system blocks with directly mounted pumps and valves, ensuring our customers no longer need tubes, which are often a common source of error. Another highlight we presented was our new "SP 270 EC" line. This type of pump includes our innovative FCV technology ("fast closing valves"). This technology prompts the valves to close fast. This gives our customers an increased control range. The pump is also not susceptible to high humidity, making it possible to use a mobile device in extremely humid conditions.

Where is this pump installed?

Kerlin: That depends on the application and purpose because we customize all of our pumps to match our customers’ needs and specific requirements. Needless to say, applications include medical devices, such as anesthetic gas analyzers. This pump can also be used for devices pertaining to compression therapy or vacuum-assisted closure of a wound. The pumps are also utilized in laboratory applications and analytical devices to facilitate indirect fluid transport. Other industry sectors with a need to detect dangerous or explosive substances in the atmosphere to protect human lives also apply the pumps.

Thanks to our comprehensive modular system, our customers receive a customized perfect pump solution within a few short days.

Why is COMPAMED an important trade fair for you as an exhibitor?

Kerlin: We were able to welcome many visitors to the trade fair and generated several new leads. This has resulted in exciting and interesting projects. The fair’s close proximity to the MEDICA trade show is yet another great advantage since many medical device manufacturers also tend to stop by for a visit at our booth. Networking and making new connections is very easy at COMPAMED. That is why we will once again return as an exhibitor next year, as we have been thrilled to be a part of this event for the past 10 years.
