Application of air compressor in pharmacy

Air compressor in the pharmaceutical industry is widely used, the following is its main purpose:

the high-pressure air generated by the air compressor is a necessary condition for the stable operation of pharmaceutical equipment. For example, dry air is used to transport pharmaceutical raw materials, and compressed air is used to drive pharmaceutical equipment to ensure efficient and stable operation of equipment. Due to the presence of impurities or moisture in the air, it is easy to reduce the quality of the drug, so the high-quality purified compressed air provided by the air compressor can make the drug maintain its accuracy and stability.

Compressed air of pharmaceutical companies is mainly used in filling machines in liquid preparations, granulating machines in solid preparations, pulping machines, filling machines, packaging machines, printing machines, extraction tanks in extraction processes, etc. In addition, compressed air is also used for test gas, powder material conveying, drying, blowing and purging, pneumatic instrument components, automatic control gas, etc.

In the pneumatic actuator, the requirement of the dust particle size of the air source is generally ≤ 1μm. In order to meet this requirement, pharmaceutical factories need to select appropriate air filtration devices to ensure the purity of compressed air.

There are strict requirements for the water content of compressed air in pharmaceutical plants. For pharmaceutical plants with a low level of automation, the pressure of compressed air is usually 5~10 ℃. The pharmaceutical factory with large pneumatic control instruments and equipment requires the pressure dew point of compressed air to reach -20 ~-40 ℃. Therefore, the pharmaceutical factory needs to select the appropriate drying device to ensure the dryness of the compressed air.

In general, the application of air compressors in the pharmaceutical industry involves all aspects of the production process, from the transportation of raw materials to the drive of equipment, to the packaging and quality control of products, all need to rely on air compressors to provide stable, High-quality compressed air.
