Leveraging BEST Software & Advanced Features of Brooks Instrument MFCs to Prevent Process Failures

Since 2011, a manufacturer in India has been producing small diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) for various applications, including electronics and medical devices. Initially, they used Brooks Instrument’s variable area flow meters for gas flow measurement. As their confidence grew, they upgraded to the SLA5850 Series mass flow controllers (MFCs) for more precise control.

The manufacturer faced challenges with carbon dust causing choked flow and process downtime. Brooks Instrument’s BEST software and advanced diagnostics helped diagnose and resolve these issues by recommending cleaning, recalibration, and installing filters. This solution enhanced process reliability, reduced downtime, and increased output, leading to cost savings and improved product quality.
