Vacuum solutions for eliminating contamination risks in the chemical-pharmaceutical sector

Vacuum cleaners and pneumatic conveyors for the pharmaceutical industry

Hygiene, safety, and quality of finished products are the essential elements of chemical and pharmaceutical production. The risks of contamination and long periods of time required for the maintenance of machinery undermine production efficiency and must therefore be minimized. Delfin vacuum cleaners for general cleaning are the perfect choice for companies in this sector Thanks to their high performance and high-efficiency filters they are ideal for:

• Facilitate the cleaning of environments and machinery

• Reducing cleaning times

• Avoiding cross-contamination

By matching the vacuum cleaner with color-coded accessories certified for contact with pharmaceutical dust, it is possible to easily identify the different work areas and eliminate any threat of contamination.

SAFETY AND QUALITY IN CLEAN ROOMS

Cleanrooms are controlled areas in terms of atmospheric pressure and particle pollution. The air inside must contain a very low amount of suspended micro dust particles and therefore be very clean, with very high levels of hygiene.

The LAB CONTROL range of vacuum cleaners meets requirements up to ISO4, ensuring environmental hygiene even during and after their use. Thanks to the HEPA filters with multiple levels of filtration, a warranty of maximum cleanliness of the outgoing air is assured. Built-in AISI316 stainless steel with mirror polishing, the entire range and accessories are autoclavable (excluding the head of the vacuum cleaners). They allow:

· Safe and easy cleaning

· Absolute filtration

· Easy to sanitize

SUCTION OF FINE SUSPENDED DUST

During the weighting phases of the product, fine powders and other ingredients can spill out and remain in suspension in the air. They represent a serious risk for operators who inhale them.

The most effective form of protection is to localize the suction directly at the source by using an industrial dust collector. Its wide surface filters allow dust to be removed before it can be a danger to workers. The Delfin dust collectors are born from the need to keep the production lines clean and in operation, ensuring:

• · A healthy working environment

• · Certified safety for the extraction of explosive dust

• · Maximum performance

INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS ON THE MACHINE

In the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, the latest generation of equipment is used to transform materials from raw to quality finished products. Solids, granules, and liquids deriving from the various production cycles constantly accumulate on these machines.

This leads to a malfunctioning of the equipment itself. Using a vacuum cleaner for suction on board of the machine eliminates waste and dust frequently. Guaranteeing efficiency, productivity, and reducing the time needed to clean machinery such as:

· Blister machines

· Tablet press

· capsule filling machine

They are available in vertical or horizontal construction. Easy to install and integrated either on existing production lines or in places where space is limited.

REMOVE PACKAGING WASTE

Vacuum cleaners from the AS line are necessary for the removal of packaging scraps and trimmings. Designed for use in pharmaceutical environments, they reduce downtime of packaging machinery. Thanks to their large capacity, the industrial trim extractor remove offcuts and scraps from production cycles and machinery such as:

· Thermoforming machines

· Blister machines

· Flowpack packaging machines

In order to minimize the interruptions necessary for the removal and cleaning of machinery, it is necessary to eliminate the dispersion of residues on the production lines.

TRANSPORT OF GRANULES AND POWDERS

The transfer and loading of powders and granules inside the production must be carried out in total safety avoiding any risk of impurity. If the powders used are harmful or toxic, their dispersion in the environment must be prevented, removing health risks for the operators.

The pneumatic conveyor is a closed system that guarantees efficiency and maintenance of product quality without risk of dispersion or contamination during the transport of powders. Their use can increase the productivity and efficiency of the automatic machines on which they are installed by up to 30%, including:

· Granulating machines

· Capsule filling machines

· Coating machines

They are an excellent solution to optimize your work, safely and comfortably transporting powders through the production department.
