CLEANROOMS - Pharmaceutical / Food & Beverage Industry
The pharmaceutical products need to be safely produced in a clean environment and Aeropro as a world leader in Filtration products, helps the pharmaceutical companies in achieving this goal. Pharmaceutical Clean rooms, production equipment undergo strict quality checks and testing and validation procedures as per ISO / EU GMP/FDA standards. These validation procedures are carried out on a quarterly basis in top pharmaceutical firms. There are strict requirements on air purity levels and these are necessary because of the direct effect that airborne contamination has on the quality of the pharmaceutical products. Moreover, pharmaceutical firms need to produce the highest quality products especially in compounding areas (including medications such as capsules, tablets, creams and gels) and they need to prevent any kind of people, process and product contamination and also prevent costly product recalls. Certain products are direct injectable type and if any contamination on these products can be life threatening to the patient itself. The air in Compounding pharmacies need to meet ISO class 5 standard requirements. While producing certain medicinal items, the process itself can produce low quality air which in turn may be recirculated or if unfiltered can affect the health of production staff and process.
Normal unfiltered atmospheric air will contain millions of dusts and micro-fine particles. Unfiltered air may also contain a lot of molecular contaminants as well as micro-organisms such as bacteria, virus and fungi. This unfiltered air needs to be processed to the highest purity levels before supplying to the Cleanrooms.
How effectively harmful contaminants are prevented from entering airflow in production environment depends on the performance of installed air filters. We mean not only the terminal HEPA filters but the air filters coming inside the AHUs including pre, medium, fine, Molecular and Ultrafine filters also. Thus, properly selected air filters will create a barrier to prevent bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi and other micro fine dust particles from entering the production and process clean zone area. Aeropro has the capability of supplying Terminal HEPA/ULPA filters, Chemical and Molecular filters as well as Fan Filter Units to pharmaceutical Cleanrooms to meet the stringent production criteria.
Aeropro helps Food and Beverage industry safely and with high quality, produce food and Beverage products in a clean surrounding Environment. Our filters play a vital role in producing and ensuring superior quality products and protecting the process equipment and personnel as well. One of the major problems that can occur in this industry is the contamination of the products which may result in costly product recalls. This can affect the reputation and diminish the brand image of the F&B company to a great extent. Food recalls are not only a public health issue but is also a major economic issue as well. We also need to take into account not only the diminishing brand name but also needs to consider the sales decline due to the incident.
We have often read about food poisoning which is related to frozen food or due to ready meals. These can be retraced back to the food and beverage industry producing these items. While producing certain food items, the process itself can produce low quality air which in turn may be recirculated or if unfiltered can affect the health of production staff.
Having a secured and sealed environment forms first part of the protection while having good supply of filtered air forms the second most important part.
Food and Beverage needs to be produced in a clean environment. Normal unfiltered atmospheric air will contain millions of dusts and micro-fine particles. It may also contain a lot of molecular contaminants as well as micro-organisms such as bacteria, virus and fungi. Properly selected air filters will create a barrier to prevent bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi and other dust particles from entering the production clean zone. There are regulations put forward by EU and FDA (Food and drug administration) for monitoring the food processing industry. Correctly selected air and chemical filters manufactured by Aeropro will help in complying with these regulations.
