• Malema to Showcase the M-2300 Series High-Purity Inline Straight Tube Ultrasonic Flow Meter at SEMICON West 2025 (Sep 17, 2025)

  Boca Raton, Florida – Malema, a brand of PSG^®, a Dover company, and a leading provider of flow measurement and control instruments for the semiconductor and industrial sectors, will showcase the new Malema™ M-2300 Series High-Purity Inline Straight Tube Ultrasonic Flow Meter at SEMICON West 2025, taking place on October 7-9 in Phoenix, Arizona.

  Leveraging advanced digital signal processing (DSP) technology, the M-2300 Series integrates an inline ultrasonic flow sensor and electronics into a single compact unit. It features a straight-through PFA tube, delivering accurate and reliable metering while maintaining superior performance. Engineered to overcome the demanding challenges of semiconductor applications, the M-2300 Series combines precise flow measurement with seamless integration and optimized space efficiency.

  "This innovative ultrasonic flow meter simplifies installation with reduced cabling while addressing the semiconductor industry's growing demand for compact, reliable solutions,” said Bob Lauson, General Manager for Malema. "With unmatched precision and state-of-the-art DSP technology, the M-2300 Series represents our ongoing commitment to offering forward-thinking innovations to customers worldwide."

  The M-2300 Series is designed with sensors that provide flow measurement accuracy of ±1% and repeatability of ±0.5% with minimal pressure loss. PFA-wetted materials and a straight flow path with no moving parts ensure exceptional corrosion resistance while eliminating dead legs, obstructions or particle contamination. With its inline design and seamless integration that offers no pressure drop and no metering cutoff, the M-2300 is a superior alternative to vortex flow meter technology.

  The M-2300 Series is suitable for various semiconductor applications in minimal footprints, including CMP, cooling systems, ECD, electroless deposition, laser equipment, solar PV equipment, track tools, wet clean, wet process, and chemical distribution systems.

• Almatec® FUTUR 100F Expands AODD Pump Solutions for Cleanroom Environments (Sep 17, 2025)

  Duisburg, Germany – The semiconductor industry is experiencing rapid growth driven by advanced electronics, 5G, AI and IoT. As production volumes rise and chip geometries shrink, fabs face unprecedented demands for purity, safety and uptime. To meet these requirements, auxiliary equipment such as pumps must combine contamination-free operation with explosion protection and exceptional reliability.

  Almatec^®, a premier manufacturer of air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps and a brand of PSG^®, a Dover company, has introduced the FUTUR 100F, a high-performance, chemically resistant diaphragm pump engineered for semiconductor cleanroom environments.

  Constructed from electrically conductive UHMW-PE and equipped with a one-piece PTFE diaphragm, the FUTUR 100F is fully ATEX-certified and offers a maximum flow rate of 100 l/min (26.42 gpm). With its compact, metal-free design, straight-through flow path and zero O-rings in wetted areas, the FUTUR 100F ensures contamination-free transfer of aggressive or flammable media such as solvents, alcohols and waste streams.

  "The FUTUR 100F bridges a critical gap for fabs that need explosion protection without compromising cleanroom compatibility," said Bart Clerx, Product manager Almatec. "By combining conductive plastic construction with ATEX certification, the FUTUR 100F gives semiconductor manufacturers the confidence to handle sensitive and hazardous fluids with maximum safety and reliability."

  Key features of the FUTUR 100F – and the entire FUTUR Series – include:

  • 100% plastic housing, no metal in wetted areas
  • ATEX certified: IIB inside, IIC outside – ideal for solvent handling
  • One-piece PTFE diaphragm for long service life
  • PERSWING P^® air control system – oil-free and maintenance-free
  • Self-priming, low-noise, compact design

  In addition to its proven performance in high-purity applications, the FUTUR 100F supports optional accessories such as pneumatic stroke monitoring and diaphragm condition sensors for predictive maintenance, as well as Flaretek^® and VCR^® connections.

  As semiconductor fabs scale production and face increasingly stringent safety standards, advanced AODD pumps such as the FUTUR 100F are becoming essential enablers of process reliability and yield protection.
