PROCESS MARKET: PHARMA/BIOTECH
Drug and Biotech labs and production facilities have unique and demanding requirements for pumps suppliers. All applications require high purity materials of construction, and zero discharge of any pollutants into the plant environment. Ober-Read offers several products that are extensively used in Pharmaceutical and Biotech facilities.
TRANSFER OF THICK PASTES AND GELS
Vector hose pumps from Wanner Engineering are ideal for handling thick fluids and gels, including those with solids. Hose pumps are self-priming, can run at very slow speeds to handle viscous fluids, and can run dry indefinitely. Sanitary ‘Pharmed’ hose options are available for pharmaceutical and biotech applications including vaccines, plasma and lotions.
SANITARY DRUM UNLOADING
Flux ViscoFLUX pumps are the world leader for drum unloading of thick pastes, creams and other non-flowing products. These drum pumps can also be mounted horizontally to serve as baseplate mounted pumps for out-of-drum applications.
FLUX also has developed a unique drum unloading system for thick fluids that completely removes all of the product from the drum, avoiding costly waste, and minimizing drum cleanup after use.
TRANSFER OF DRY POWDERS AND PILLS
Gardner Denver series Duroflow and Heliflow positive displacement blowers are the industry recognized leader in bulk transfer of powders and tablets for pharmaceutical manufacturing.. If you have a system now, Ober-Read can help with the service and replacements of these blowers, and can also offer new replacement options that provide higher efficiency, much lower power consumption, and lower noise levels during operation. Complete enclosed IQ Packages from Gardner Denver are the ultimate in a low noise solution.
