The application of air compressor in the biopharmaceutical industry
Nov 02 , 2024

Air compressors are widely used in the biopharmaceutical industry, and the following are some of the key application areas and characteristics:

1.Fermentation process: In the biopharmaceutical industry, air compressors are used in the fermentation process to provide oxygen to bacteria. For example, in the production of citric acid, liquor and yogurt, fermenters require compressed air to provide oxygen to maintain bacterial activity. The demands on compressed air quality are extremely high, as even the smallest amounts of oil can lead to the death of active bacteria, which can reduce product quality and contaminate the product.

2.Raw material transportation: Air compressors are widely used in raw material transportation, mixing and drying in the process of pharmaceutical production. They are able to transport pharmaceutical raw materials into the reactor stably and ensure that the pressure and temperature inside the reactor are within the required range.

3.Packaging and bottling: In the process of pharmaceutical packaging, air compressors are used to supply the pressure required by the packaging machinery to ensure the safety and stability of pharmaceutical packaging. Compressed air is commonly used for tablet conveying, blister packing, and bottling, and oil contamination of the air can lead to waste.

4.GMP requirements: GMP is a quality management system in the pharmaceutical industry that aims to ensure the quality and safety of pharmaceutical products. As one of the key production equipment, the air compressor must meet GMP requirements, have good sealing, easy cleaning and maintenance, and ensure the purity and dryness of the compressed air conveyed.

5.Automated production process: In automated production process, air compressors are used for the operation of cylinders, control valves, and pneumatic components. As soon as the exhaust gases from these components contain oil, the entire production space will be contaminated, which is likely to contaminate the final product.

6.Nitrogen production application: In the nitrogen packaging, transportation and protection of pharmaceutical raw materials and drugs, air compressors are used for nitrogen production. For example, nitrogen filling for Western medicine injections, nitrogen filling for storage tanks and containers, and air sources for pneumatic transmission of pharmaceutical materials.

7.Preparation process: Air compressors are also widely used in the preparation process, such as air-water jet bottle washing, jet grinding, high-efficiency coating, spray granulation and aluminum-plastic blister packaging.

8.Biologics production: In the production of biologics such as vaccines, the requirements for compressed air are very strict, and oil-free air must be used.

The application of air compressors in the biopharmaceutical industry is multifaceted, not only involving all aspects of drug production, but also closely related to product quality and safety.
