When will pharmaceutical companies use compressed air

Pharmaceutical companies will use compressed air in multiple production links and processes. Specific application scenarios include but are not limited to the following aspects:

1. Equipment Driver:
   • Compressed air is the power source of many pharmaceutical equipment. For example, in the production of solid preparations, granulators, slurryers, filling machines, packaging machines, printing machines and other equipment may use compressed air for purging, conveying, and drying processes.
   • In the production of liquid preparations, such as filling machines, compressed air is also required to provide power to ensure accurate filling of the medicine.
2. Material delivery:
   • Compressed air is often used to transport pharmaceutical raw materials and finished products. For example, during the conveying of powder material, a gas delivery system is used to transport powder raw materials from one process to another.
   • Compressed air also plays an indispensable role in making, blowing, washing and transporting plastic bottles.
3. Cleaning and Emission Control:
   • Cleaning of pharmaceutical equipment and production environments requires a large amount of compressed air. Compressed air can be used to remove dust and dirt from the surface of the equipment and keep the production environment sanitary.
   • Compressed air also controls exhaust gas emissions through the pneumatic system to ensure the environmental protection of the production process.
4. Drying and Purge:
   • In the process of drying, blowing and purging, compressed air provides the necessary power to ensure the dryness and cleanliness of the medicine.
5. Experiment and Experiment:
   • In the drug test process, compressed air is used as a test air to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
   • In the research and development and laboratories of the pharmaceutical industry, compressed air can be used to supply gas to experimental equipment, such as gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers and freeze-drying meters.
6. Pneumatic instruments and automatic control:
   • Many pneumatic instrument components and automatic control equipment in pharmaceutical companies require compressed air to drive. These devices play an important role in monitoring, controlling and regulating in the pharmaceutical process.
7. Gas separation and purification:
   • When a specific gas is required to be purified or separated during the pharmaceutical process, the compressed air can be separated and purified by cooling, pressure friction or permeation to obtain the required gas purity.

Because compressed air is widely used and important in pharmaceutical companies, pharmaceutical companies have extremely high requirements for its quality. Pharmaceutical companies must ensure that the content of oil, water, solid particles and biological particles in the compressed air is controlled to an extremely low level to prevent pollutants from contaminating the product. At the same time, the compressed air system needs to be regularly maintained and inspected to ensure its stability and reliability.
