What We Package
Pharmaceutical formats range from precision liquid dosing to viscous topical products, each with its own regulatory and hygiene profile.
Engineering Considerations
Regulated pharmaceutical production has requirements that go beyond standard food-grade equipment — these are the points we confirm before specifying any machine.
Product-contact parts typically require SUS 316L stainless steel with Ra ≤ 0.8 µm surface finish, not standard 304-grade.
Fill accuracy requirements are stricter than consumer goods — weight-based or servo piston filling is standard, not gravity filling.
Tamper-evident induction sealing is typically mandatory, not optional, for liquid and syrup products.
CIP/SIP (clean-in-place / sterilise-in-place) systems with validated, documented cycles are usually required rather than manual cleaning.
Buyers typically require a documentation package — material certificates, IQ/OQ protocol templates, and design qualification records.
Viscous ointments and gels need bottom-up piston filling with anti-drip nozzles to avoid air entrapment and stringing.
Machinery We Recommend
Bottle lines cover liquid medicine and syrups; tube lines cover topical ointments and gels.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can you supply documentation for our GMP qualification process?
Yes. Depending on your requirements, we provide material certificates (EN 10204 3.1 or equivalent), surface finish records, IQ/OQ protocol templates, and CE Declaration of Conformity documentation as part of the delivery package — specify this during the quotation stage so it's built into the project scope from the start.
-
Is 304 stainless steel ever acceptable for pharmaceutical equipment?
304 is acceptable for non-product-contact exterior frame components. All product-contact surfaces — tanks, nozzles, piston chambers, pipework — should be 316L, which has higher molybdenum content and better resistance to chloride-containing cleaning agents and active ingredients.
