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
