Mechanical Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)
Ideal implementation: pilot plants, small to mid-scale GMP lines, and facilities that value simplicity and manual oversight.
Overview
A rugged, shop-floor-ready control unit for reliable column packing and unpacking. The Mechanical HCU uses precision gauges and manual valves to deliver stable pressure and repeatable control without the need for firmware or software. It is ideal for regulated environments that prefer simple validation and hands-on operation.
