The pharmaceutical industry demands the highest levels of hygiene, precision, and reliability from its fluid handling systems. Pumps are used throughout production—from transferring active ingredients to sterile dosing and packaging—where accuracy, traceability, and compliance are critical. Every stage must support cleanroom standards and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), making pump selection a key factor in process integrity and product safety.
Key Applications
1. Ingredient Transfer
Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), solvents, and excipients must be transferred hygienically and without contamination. Peristaltic, diaphragm, and magnetic drive pumps are often chosen for their seal-less design, cleanability, and ability to handle aggressive or sterile fluids.
2. Dosing and Metering
Accurate dosing of liquid components is essential in both batch and continuous processes. Metering pumps provide precision control over flow rates, supporting consistent formulations and adherence to strict production specifications.
3. Biopharmaceutical and Aseptic Processing
In biotech and sterile drug manufacturing, pumps must maintain purity and protect sensitive biological materials. Low-shear, sanitary pumps support applications such as vaccine production, cell culture transfer, and filtration stages, often within single-use systems.
4. CIP and SIP Cleaning Cycles
Clean-in-Place and Sterilise-in-Place systems are standard in pharmaceutical plants. Pumps circulate cleaning agents and steam through production equipment without dismantling, ensuring full hygiene between production runs.
