Pharmaceutical Handling
Defining conveying requirements for the pharmaceutical industry
The pharmaceutical industry faces a unique set of challenges when it comes to material handling with a need for:
- The most stringent hygiene standards
- Absolute product containment.
- CIP and SIP (Clean in place/Sterilise in place)
Batch production and relatively low flow rates are the norm for this industry. Stainless steel equipment is specified to avoid contamination issues.
