Tezalon Biotech and Eilersen: A partnership powering accuracy and mobility in biotech

Tezalon Biotech’s journey with Eilersen began two years ago, following a recommendation from Acuity Process Solutions, a U.S.-based Eilersen distributor. At the time, Tezalon Biotech relied on traditional compression load cells in their newly launched single-use mixers. However, installing these load cells was cumbersome and required meticulous alignment, leading to excessive time spent on initial setup. That’s when Eilersen stepped in.

About Tezalon Biotech

Tezalon Biotech is a division of Innovative Engineering Systems, established in 2002. The company produces a wide range of state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment for the biopharma industry. In collaboration with Eilersen, Tezalon Biotech has leveraged its extensive experience, insights, and technological innovations to deliver a unique value proposition to the fast-evolving biotech sector.

 

Eilersen’s digital capacitive load cells: A game-changer

The introduction of Eilersen’s digital capacitive load cells addressed multiple challenges that Tezalon Biotech had previously faced with traditional compression load cells in their mobile single use mixers, including: 

  • Complex alignment requirements. Aligning traditional load cells with mixers was difficult and time-consuming, requiring precise positioning for accurate weighing.
  • Lengthy installation process. Each installation demanded careful adjustments, creating productivity bottlenecks and increasing labor costs.
  • Reduced mobility. Moving mixers between locations required recalibration, which limited mobility and hindered Tezalon Biotech’s goal of creating an accurate and robust mobile mixing solution.

The last part concerning the reduced mobility was what moved the needle to try something new and different. 

 

“Traditional compression load cells simply weren’t cutting it for our mobile mixing solutions,” says Dennis Hodgson, Director of Biotech Product Development at Tezalon Biotech. “The need for constant recalibration every time we moved the mixers prevented us from achieving true mobility. That need ultimately drove us to explore Eilersen’s solution.”

Making mobile mixers truly mobile

Eilersen’s capacitive load cells provided a seamless solution to these challenges. When Tezalon Biotech decided to test the Eilersen load cells on their largest vessel yet, it was a “blue sky moment,” as Dennis recalls.

 

The vessel was transported across California, enduring positive to negative tension shifts without compromising load cell performance. Once lifted off the truck, the load cells retained their factory calibration.

 

“We transported our biggest vessel, lifted it off the truck, and the load cells maintained their accuracy without recalibration,” Dennis notes. “We didn’t have to do anything—it’s such a robust solution. It’s plug-and-play. We didn’t even have to configure anything.”

 

With Eilersen’s digital capacitive technology, setup became as simple as attaching two screws per load cell. Four load cells were installed—one in each corner—saving hours of labor and eliminating any alignment issues. “It was a fantastic experience,” says Dennis Hodgson.

Redefining biotech mobility and reliability

The impact of Eilersen’s capacitive load cells on Tezalon Biotech’s operations has been transformative. Eilersen’s solution has delivered accuracy, reliability, and true mobility where traditional strain gage based load cells pose setbacks. By making mobile mixers truly mobile, Eilersen’s plug-and-play weighing system allows Tezalon Biotech’s mixers to be transported between locations while remaining accurate and stable, saving Tezalon Biotech hundreds of hours of installation and recalibration work on-site at customers every year.

 

With Eilersen’s load cells, Tezalon Biotech’s clients receive a product they can trust from the moment it arrives, requiring no complex setup or maintenance to ensure seamless operation. Clients never need to worry about whether or not their equipment is functioning properly when it arrives. “With Eilersen’s technology, we know it just works. It’s just peace of mind,” Dennis concludes.

 

Tezalon Biotech and Eilersen have collaborated for over two years on numerous small and large projects. Eilersen digital capacitive load cells have set a new standard for accuracy and reliability in mobile mixing solutions for Tezalon Biotech and their customers.
