The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most highly regulated sectors globally. Anyone seeking to produce pharmaceuticals must adhere to guidelines such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), European Pharmacopoeia, various guidelines from the FDA, and recommendations from the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH).
There can be various types of contaminants, and environmental air or inlet air is susceptible to contamination from nearly any type of particulate insert, including pollen, dust, hydrocarbons, or heavy metals. These contaminants have the potential to disrupt the normal operation of pneumatic systems and may lead to quality issues in production.
The Oil free rotary screw air compressor — known as a pure air compressor — meets the highest quality standards and provide exceptional efficiency.
Contaminant Free… Risk Free
When you choose an oil-free screw air compressor from AULISS, you get a clean, reliable and cost-efficient air supply that benefits your business and your bottom line! Air purity is critical for many air compressor applications in industry where even the smallest drop of oil can cause product spoilage or damage production equipment.
- Classifications: Choose an oil-free air compressor that meets ISO 8573-1 Class 0 air quality standards, which ensures no oil contamination in the compressed air.
- Technology: Consider various oil-free compressor technologies such as scroll, screw, or centrifugal compressors. Each has its advantages; for instance, an industrial screw compressor is known for its low maintenance and quiet operation.
- Capacity: Determine the required air volume and pressure for your specific pharmaceutical processes.
- Location: Install the compressor in a clean, well-ventilated area away from potential sources of contamination.
- Filtration: Implement proper filtration systems, including pre-filters and after-filters, to remove particulates, moisture, and potential contaminants from the compressed air.
- Scheduled Maintenance: Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule for your compressor system. Regular maintenance will ensure the system's reliability and efficiency.
- Air Quality Monitoring: Implement continuous air quality monitoring systems to detect any deviations from the required air quality standards. This could involve the use of sensors and alarms.
By implementing these steps, you can significantly enhance pharmaceutical production standards with oil-free air compressors. The goal is to create a controlled and clean environment that ensures the integrity of pharmaceutical products and meets regulatory requirements.
