Why do pharmaceutical factories need air compression?
The main reasons why pharmaceutical factories use air compression are as follows: 1. Ensure the quality of drug production
- Direct contact with drugs: During the drug production process, air compression is widely used in multiple links, such as drug packaging, drying, and purge. In these links, compressed air comes into direct contact with the drug, so its quality is crucial to the purity and safety of the drug.
- Prevent pollution: Pharmaceutical factories have strict requirements on the quality of compressed air, and they need to ensure that it is dust-free, sterile, moisture-free, oil-free, etc., to prevent pollution to the drugs and affect the quality and efficacy of the drugs.
2. Provide production power
- Driver equipment: In pharmaceutical factories, many equipment such as filling machines, granulators, slurryers, filling machines, packaging machines, etc. require compressed air to drive. These equipment plays an important role in the production and packaging of drugs, and compressed air provides them with the necessary power source.
- Automatic control: Air compression is also used in automatic control systems in pharmaceutical factories, such as pneumatic instruments, pneumatic valves, etc. These devices realize automatic control and regulation by receiving signals from compressed air, improving the level of automation and efficiency of production.
3. Ensure production safety
- Prevent explosions: During the pharmaceutical production process, some flammable and explosive materials need special treatment. The use of compressed air can form an inert gas environment, reduce the risk of explosion, and ensure production safety.
- Reduce dust: Dust is a common safety hazard in the production process of medicines. Purge and dry with compressed air can effectively reduce the generation and accumulation of dust and reduce the risk of fire and explosion.
4. Improve production efficiency
- Quick response: Compressed air has the characteristics of rapid response, which can provide the required power and gas source in a short time to meet the efficient needs of drug production.
- Reduce energy consumption: Through reasonable design and optimization of compressed air system, energy consumption can be reduced, energy utilization efficiency can be improved, and production costs can be reduced.
5. Adapt to a variety of production needs
- Flexible and changeable: The air compression system can be adjusted and optimized according to different production needs to meet the needs of pharmaceutical factories in different production stages and process links.
- Easy to maintain: The air compression system is relatively simple, easy to maintain and maintain, which can reduce the failure rate and repair costs of the equipment.
To sum up, pharmaceutical factories use air compression mainly to ensure the quality of drug production, provide production power, ensure production safety, improve production efficiency and adapt to a variety of production needs. In the production process of medicines, air compression plays an irreplaceable role.
