Case Studies & factoids

Solutions that worked

Cold Shock Therapy

  • Cryotherapy uses temperatures around -150°C to treat injuries, inflammation, swelling, and muscle stiffness
  • Liquid CO₂ cools skin from approx. 32°C to 2–4°C within 30 seconds
  • Continuous monitoring prevents overcooling and skin damage
  • Optris CS LT integrated into the treatment pistol displays real-time surface temperature
  • Operating range: -40°C to 1030°C covers the full process
  • Process temperature: -150°C to 32°C

Glass Syringe Production

  • Needle glued to glass tube at approx. 125°C
  • Punctual measuring pyrometers monitor and control the process
  • Ensures consistent quality across syringe production

Sterilization of Glass Bottles

  • Pharmaceutical glass bottles require sterilization at a defined temperature to ensure aseptic conditions
  • Punctual measuring pyrometer monitors and secures the correct temperature throughout

Sterilization of Glass Bottles

Thermoforming of Dental Products

  • Infrared radiators heat plastic foil to a defined temperature before forming dental mouthpieces
  • Homogeneous surface temperature prevents local burning and crack formation
  • Non-contact pyrometer monitors foil temperature; heating stops automatically at the set point
  • Optris CS LT operates in ambient temperatures up to 80°C without additional cooling
  • Process temperature: 110°C to 230°C
