Agitating tank
Pharmaceutical Industry
In the pharmaceutical industry, numerous liquids with widely different properties are required. Liquid intermediate products must be made available and held ready for further processes. To ensure smoo...
Autoclave
Pharmaceutical Industry
In the production of medical consumables, autoclaves are commonly used for sterilization. Every autoclave has 4 chambers where medical products are sterilized. They work with dry, saturated steam at 2...
Batch holding tank on a filling system
Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical products such as drugs and vaccines are held in batch filling holding tanks ready to be filled into injection vials under absolutely sterile conditions. After each batch, the holding ta...
Batching tank for ointments
Pharmaceutical Industry
Many different ointments and creams are produced in batching tanks. The process conditions in batch production are typically characterized by high temperatures and vacuum. After each batch run, the ta...
CIP system - cleaning agent storage tanks
Pharmaceutical Industry
In the pharmaceutical industry, cleaning of process equipment takes place within the framework of a validated "Clean in Place (CIP)" process to ensure aseptic conditions are maintained in production e...
Capsule filling
Pharmaceutical Industry
The empty raw capsules and the active ingredient pellets are stored above the filling machine. Reliable level measurement is required here to ensure a continuous supply to the process. The capsules ar...
Condenser (WFI)
Pharmaceutical Industry
The so-called aqua purificata evaporated in the steam separator is condensed to high purity water (WFI) in the condenser. Inside the condenser there is a cooling system that cools the steam to make it...
Disposable plastic container
Pharmaceutical Industry
When very small product batches are produced in the pharmaceutical industry, disposable plastic containers are often used. These are essentially polymer bags in which a fermentation process takes plac...
Distillation vessel
Pharmaceutical Industry
Solvents are used in the pharmaceutical industry for extracting active ingredients. They are then recovered via evaporation in a high-vacuum distillation vessel. After the solvent has been removed fro...
Drum coater storage tank
Pharmaceutical Industry
In the pharmaceutical industry, tablets are coated with colouring agents or active ingredients in a drum coater. This coating in the form of a liquid suspension, contains colouring or solids and is st...
Filter system
Pharmaceutical Industry
Often, in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, substances need to be separated from one another or perhaps some cell components precipitated. One method of doing this is using special filtration system...
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (Bulk bag, BigBag)
Pharmaceutical Industry
Granular raw materials are delivered and stored in Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC) also known as ‘Bulk Bags’ or ‘BigBags’. The raw materials are fed to the various process stages via conv...
Fluidized bed reactor
Pharmaceutical Industry
One method for producing and drying granulates is the fluidized bed process. A uniform stream of air is fed up through a distributor plate at the bottom of the fluidized bed reactor. A liquid granule...
Hexane storage tank
Pharmaceutical Industry
In pharmaceutical production, Hexane is a commonly used solvent and reaction medium, as well as an agent for oil and grease extraction. This colourless liquid has a slight petrol odour and is highly v...
Liquid waste buffer tank
Pharmaceutical Industry
In preparation for proper disposal, liquid wastes that arise in the production of pharmaceuticals are temporarily stored in buffer tanks. These potentially hazardous mixtures consist of diverse media...
Mixing Vessel
Pharmaceutical Industry
Mixing vessels are applied for preparation, storage and transfer of a wide range of pharmaceutical products. These vessels are used for the manufacture of antibiotics, blood plasma products, and injec...
Preparation tank for solvents
Pharmaceutical Industry
The various solvents and intermediate carrier materials have to be first prepared before they proceed onto further production steps. This is usually carried out in bioreactors and fermentation tanks....
Reaction vessel
Pharmaceutical Industry
The measuring conditions inside a reaction vessel in a multi-product, multi-line production facility are characterized by changing media as well as widely fluctuating temperatures and pressures. Depen...
Reaction vessel with solvents
Pharmaceutical Industry
The key component in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products is the reactor. Different raw materials are mixed with solvents and made to react by applying heat and pressure. During this process, th...
Steam boiler
Pharmaceutical Industry
High process pressures and a highly compressed vapour phase are the normal operating conditions inside boilers. The size of the steam generator is what determines the quantity of saturated steam that...
Steam separator (WFI)
Pharmaceutical Industry
In the production of ultrapure water (WFI), the process begins with aqua purificata being fed into the steam separator. The aqua purificata evaporates there and is fed into the condenser. Evaporation...
Storage tanks for liquids
Pharmaceutical Industry
Many different liquids with widely varying properties are required in pharmaceutical production. Products, at all stages have to be stored and held ready for subsequent processing. These are used as c...
Transport containers for liquids
Pharmaceutical Industry
In many of the production processes in the pharmaceutical industry, small quantities of various chemicals are needed in order to improve the characteristics of certain products. The media are often pr...
Ultrapure water storage tank
Pharmaceutical Industry
High-purity water (WFI) is required for pharmaceutical products that are injected directly into the bloodstream or administered as eye or nose drops. This water is produced through filtration and dist...
Vacuum evaporator with scraper system
Pharmaceutical Industry
A thickening vessel fitted with a scraper is used to increase the concentration of extracted solutions by means of evaporation under vacuum. Extremely precise level measurement is required in this pro...
Bioreactor
Pharmaceutical Industry
Some pharmaceutical companies use bioreactor vessels to cultivate particular cells or microorganisms required for certain treatments. The very high level of hygiene required means the vessels and all...
