1. Oil-Free Air Compressor

Pharmaceutical applications require a sterile environment. After all, consumers in the Philippines are essentially relying on your products to help them cope with their conditions. However, an oil-injected compressor can leave oil in the discharge air stream. If you’re looking for a compressor, pick an oil-free machine to prevent product contamination.

2. Air Dryer

Moist air can create an environment where mold and bacteria flourish. It may also carry contaminants or cause the product to degrade, oxidize, or undergo other undesirable changes. Counter this with an adsorption-type twin tower desiccant dryer or a subfreezing dryer, which can give you exceptionally dry compressed air. These air dryers can also reach subzero dew points, making them more suitable than refrigerated dryers for the pharmaceutical industry.

3. Air Filter

Even after compression, the air that you use for manufacturing may still contain moisture and dust, which can land on your products. Deal with this by fitting your compressed air systems with an air filter. Aside from keeping products sterile, this prevents particles and contaminants from damaging or clogging up any processing equipment.

4. Air Knife

Before your products are packed and sealed, they should be completely free of debris and dust. Run pills, tablets, and other products under an air knife to blast away unwanted particles.

5. Nitrogen Generator

Nitrogen gas often features in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products in the Philippines. Formerly, nitrogen would be converted into liquid for easy transport, only to be turned back into gas for usage. A nitrogen generator does away with the hassle, helping your pharmaceutical company cut manufacturing costs.

Here are some pharmaceutical applications that use nitrogen:

• It is used to purging receptacles for sanitation.
• Products become stable when chemically blanketed with nitrogen.
• Nitrogen helps drugs stay fresh for longer in sealed packaging.
• Deionized water maintains its pH more easily when chemically blanketed with nitrogen.

6. Diaphragm Pump

Diaphragm pumps are designed to transfer abrasive or viscous products, such as tablets or medicinal syrups, with ease. They are also useful for filling processes because they are hygienic and precise. Here’s a list of some pharmaceutical and biochemical fluids that are transported with diaphragm pumps:

• blood, blood cells, and plasma
• live cell cultures
• solutions and egg emulsions for vaccine production
• pill coatings
• eye care solutions
• fluids for oncology
• disinfectants
• nutraceuticals and vitamins
• creams, lotions, and other topicals
• filter media
