The challenges of stirring in the pharmaceutical industry

Mixing processes in the pharmaceutical industry are subject to the strictest requirements. Products must be processed homogeneously, aseptically and reproducibly - in compliance with international standards such as GMP, FDA and partly ISO 14644.

Special challenges:

  • Hygiene: Contact surfaces must be easy to clean and keep sterile.

  • Documentation & traceability: Every process step must be validatable.

  • Material compatibility: Stainless steel components must be corrosion-resistant and inert.

  • Safety: Ex-protected environments (ATEX) are used depending on the solvent.

  • Process accuracy: Mixing processes must run smoothly and without destroying the material.

PTM agitator technology - solutions for the highest demands

PTM mechatronics offers modular agitator solutions for the pharmaceutical industry that are specially tailored to these challenges.

Our strengths:

Hygienic design

All wetted components are made of high-quality stainless steel (V4A, 1.4404), with a dead space-free design, smooth surfaces and, on request, hygienic design in accordance with EHEDG-guidelines.

ATEX-certified drive technology

Our pneumatic actuators are available as standard in ATEX Zone 1, 0/1 on request - ideal for use with flammable solvents.

Cleanroom class ISO1 according to DIN1.4644

Our stainless steel motors and drives are specially designed for use in Cleanrooms and ultra-clean rooms developed.

Customized implementation

We work with you to develop an agitator or system that exactly meets your requirements - including all upstream and downstream components for a perfectly coordinated overall system. You are also welcome to take a look at our Page for special solutions.

Precise adaptation to your medium

Whether liquid or highly viscous: thanks to our selection of Agitators (e.g. cup agitator eco-Cup or eco-Disc, Inclined blade mixer or Dissolver) and individual design of the stirring process, you can achieve reproducible results without compromising on quality.

Cleanability & ease of maintenance

Components can be detached without tools, CIP/SIP-The accessories and sophisticated design simplify cleaning - even with frequent batch changes.

Documentation

Our products are accompanied by detailed documentation. Material certificates and ATEX certificates are available on request.

Typical application examples from practice

  • Suspensions & Emulsions: Even distribution of active ingredients for sensitive formulations

  • Stirring in IBCs or small batches: Flexible use thanks to stand and lid agitators or traverse solutions

  • Production of ointments, gels or pastes: High Viscosities Safely processed with high-torque drives
