Perforated Metal:
Equipment Components: Graepels Perforated metal sheets are used to fabricate essential equipment components such as trays, baskets, and screens. These components aid in processes like filtration, sterilization, and drying, ensuring the purity and integrity of pharmaceutical products.
Ventilation and Airflow: Perforated metal panels are employed in cleanroom environments and controlled ventilation systems to regulate airflow and maintain sterile conditions. They help prevent contamination and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
Woven Wire Mesh:
Filtration and Separation: Woven wire mesh screens play a crucial role in filtration and separation processes within pharmaceutical manufacturing. They efficiently remove impurities, particles, and contaminants from liquids and solids, ensuring the purity and consistency of pharmaceutical formulations.
Particle Size Analysis: Woven wire mesh is utilized for particle size analysis, aiding in the characterization and quality control of pharmaceutical powders, granules, and suspensions. Mesh screens with specific aperture sizes enable accurate classification and analysis of particle distributions.
Sterilization and Packaging: Woven wire mesh is employed in sterilization processes for medical instruments, equipment, and packaging materials. Its durable and inert properties make it suitable for autoclaving and maintaining sterile conditions essential for pharmaceutical production.
Laser Cutting:
Precision Component Fabrication: Laser cutting technology enables the precise fabrication of intricate components and parts used in pharmaceutical equipment and machinery. From stainless steel panels, laser cutting ensures accuracy and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Metal Materials within pharmaceutical
Stainless steel is used in the pharmaceutical, medical and biotech industries because it is a highly stable material under a variety of different environmental conditions.
There are over 200 types of stainless steel. However, there are four main pharmaceutical grades of stainless steel that are used in the industry: Stainless 304, 304L, Stainless 316 and 316L. These stainless-steel grades are not reactive. However, stainless steel 316 is more resistant than 304 against acid and base attacks. Stainless steel is a safe choice with its’ combination of aesthetic qualities, resistance to hostile chemical compounds and protection from contamination.
The top four uses of Stainless Steel in the pharmaceutical industry are; for sterilization, as parts for the pharmaceutical manufacturing machinery and equipment, cryogenic storage containers and as parts which are used facilitate drying.
