Product Family: Paradigm Precision Dosing Platform

Background

In industries such as biologics, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and chemical manufacturing, the demand for precision fluid handling is greater than ever. Even the smallest inconsistencies in dosing can lead to failed batches, compromised product quality, or costly downtime.

Hartmann’s Inc. developed the Paradigm precision dosing system to address these challenges, creating a platform designed for fluids with water-like viscosities that require ultra-accurate and repeatable volume control.

SR-TEK partnered as the exclusive European distributor, providing technical expertise and engineering support to ensure the Paradigm system’s success in high-throughput production environments.

Engineering Challenge

The key challenge was to design a liquid dosing platform that could:

• Deliver exact, repeatable volumes for sensitive applications like biologics.
• Balance high-speed throughput with accuracy.
• Reduce variability and operator error through robust automation.
• Integrate easily into existing production lines or function as a standalone benchtop solution.
• Support a wide range of industries with strict compliance and quality control requirements.

Conventional dosing solutions lacked the combination of speed, precision, and scalability needed for modern biotech and pharmaceutical workflows. Hartmann’s Inc. required a next-generation system capable of addressing all these demands.

Engineering Solution

The Paradigm system was engineered to deliver exceptional repeatability and accuracy while maintaining high production speeds. Key features include:

• Advanced automation to minimize manual intervention and reduce process variability.
• Precise volume control ideal for sensitive fluids and compounds.
• Compact and modular design, allowing for use as a benchtop unit, standalone dosing station, or fully integrated production component.
• Versatile applications across biologics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food & beverage, CBD/nutraceuticals, and chemical formulation.

Result

The Paradigm platform has been adopted by biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturers as well as R&D labs for its ability to:

• Maintain high throughput without sacrificing accuracy.
• Deliver consistent micro-dosing for complex and sensitive formulations.
• Reduce human error, improving product quality and compliance.
• Offer scalable performance, from early research to full production runs.

By combining precision engineering with automation-ready design, the Paradigm system represents a new standard in liquid dosing technology.
