It works in the background but very effectively. The fibre optical probe from Hellma is the analytical heart of Dausch Technologies’ innovative process analysis system for the beverage industry. The probe continuously measures several quality parameters including total acid, formula control, base detection, product profile and temperature.

This on-line process control allows manufacturing units to be run in an efficient way at minimum costs, gradually replacing the random and time-consuming quality control sampling in the laboratory. Moreover, controlling and documenting quality parameters has been simplified.
The technology requirements in the food industry are very high, for example, special features of the probe include a custom flange, compliant with the latest hygienic standards and materials of construction including stainless steel and sapphire optics.
To guarantee compatibility with cleaning processes, the probe meets the requirements of SIP/CIP (Sterilisation/Cleaning in Place)

Hellma is the world market leader and solution provider in cells and optical components made of glass or quartz, used for modern optical analysis. For more information please visit: www.hellma.com

Complete traceability and excellent reliability of measurement results  with calibration standards from the accredited DKD calibration laboratory of Hellma.

With the accreditation according to DIN EN ISO 17025, Hellma is one of the leading accredited calibration laboratory that produces and certifies liquid and glass calibration filters made for testing spectrophotometers.

Increased security and quality demands among laboratories more and more require a complete traceability of measurement results to a preferably international approved standard. An accreditation according to DIN EN ISO 17025 ensures the traceability of calibrations carried out to references of the NIST, by which an international correlation of measurement results is assured. Thus procedures in laboratories gain greater transparency and improved protection of their measurement results.

Hellma offers a wide product range of liquid and glass calibration filters and has been carrying out calibrations for several years. With the DKD´s accreditation, Hellma has received formal recognition for professional and technical competence. This is based on a modern and well maintained technical infrastructure, on the experience and capability of a highly skilled workforce as well as on a high effective quality management system. Accreditation according to DIN EN ISO 17025 ties smoothly in with the already existing quality management systems DIN EN ISO 9001 and 14001.

40-year-old Holm Kändler has been assigned the responsibility as Technical Director. He has also been granted single proxy.
After finishing his mechanical engineering studies at TU Berlin, Kändler started his career as a development engineer with a manufacturer for spectral photometers in Hamburg.
From 2003 to date, Holm Kändler was employed as Hellma´s Head of Development. Among other things, the TrayCell – a fibre-optic cell for spectral analysis of small sample volumes – awarded at the 2009 innovation award of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg, was developed during that time. Now, his main focus is the optimization and further development of the technical department in order to continue to expand Hellma´s top position.

“With our highly skilled workforce and our innovative technologies, we will provide sound know-how in glass machining with highest precision to our customers” says Holm Kändler. “Especially as a supplier of optical components, leading technology becomes the deciding competitive factor on the market. Both our customers and ourselves will profit from this.”

Kändler´s area of responsibility includes manufacturing, quality assurance, development, product management, technology management as well as the calibration laboratory.

The business areas of Hellma GmbH & Co KG, founded in 1922, include cells, fibre-optical systems, calibration standards, solutions for the analysis of small volumes as well as flat, cylinder and toric optics. Hellma sees itself as a solution provider for optical components made of glass and quartz glass for modern analysis. 290 employees are working at this strategy worldwide. Hellma has its own subsidiaries in 13 countries as well as representatives in over 50 countries. Substantial knowledge and one-of-a-kind technologies in glass and quartz glass processing support over 1,700 of Hellma´s standard products as well as special designs.
