Pneumatic machinery with reliability and consistency are important factors to consider when supporting the increasing demands in the pharmaceutical industry.
The pharmaceutical industry plays an important role in the well-being of millions of patients. This industry relies on compressed air to make bottles and medication. The medicine made must follow a precise formula, all while operating in an environment with no germs, bacteria, or contaminating oils. Since the industry is always expanding, regulation and efficiency are major factors that need to be considered when thinking about the proper machinery to match the ever-growing demand.
Pharmacies are experiencing an increased demand for compressed air. Here are just some of the benefits:
- Manufacturing of Medical Pills and Capsules: The industry uses compressed air to measure and mix ingredients, harden and shape the pills and capsules, and give the medicine an outer gel covering.
- Medical Formulas: Compressed air is used to accurately measure ingredients for making medicine. This is essential to production because it eliminates the potential for germs.
- Bottlings: Specialized pneumatic systems are used to mold medicine containers to specific sizes, shapes, and colors. This is vital to the pharmaceutical industry because sizes, shapes, and colors play a significant role in identifying medicines. Using compressed air also allows the packaging of pills, capsules, and liquid medicines to be completed in a contamination-free environment.
- Cartons: In the assembly lines, air compressors bring a high level of consistency and reliability. The pneumatic machinery is responsible for the cutting, folding, printing, and packaging of products.
