Pharmaceutical

Within the pharmaceutical industry, valves and actuators are critical components for maintaining precise control over ingredients, solvents, purified water and gases. Valves and actuators must help maintain strict hygienic standards to prevent contamination, while supporting any cleaning-in-place (CIP) and sterilisation-in-place (SIP) procedures. These components are essential to the various sectors of the pharmaceutical industry, including drug production, bioprocessing and cleanroom environments.

Challenges:

• Contamination prevention
• Precise dosing and flow control
• Regulatory compliance
• Cleaning-in-place (CIP) and sterilisation-in-place (SIP) compatibility

Solutions:

• Diaphragm valves – Commonly used for sterile pharmaceutical applications to fully isolate the process fluid from valve internals.
• Ball valves – These valves are used for tight, rapid shut off, quarter turn and controlling high pressure liquids and gases.
• Butterfly valves – Achieves flow control in larger diameter process pipelines and buffer preparation systems.
• Check valves – Used to prevent backflow that could contaminate products and ensure one-way flow.
