Air filtration for pharmaceuticals

Dust collection and filtration solutions to prevent workers’ exposure to hazardous pharmaceutical substances.

Introduction to hazardous particles control for pharmaceutical manufacturing

Production and packaging processes used in pharmaceutical manufacturing plants generate multiple types of particles that can create potentially harmful and explosive chemical mixtures. The right dust and fume collection solutions are essential to reduce the risks to your workers and provide a clean and functioning environment, complying with regulatory requirements.

Challenges with pharmaceutical industry dust and substances

If the operator is exposed to pharmaceutical dust, by breathing or touching it, it may cause side effects such as respiratory illness, skin reactions, and other physiological effects.
Many substances have the potential to explode and cross-contamination of dust with other materials can impact product quality and safety.
Coral USA dust extraction solutions can remove the smallest particles directly at the source, providing clean air for the worker and a safe workplace.
Last but not least, filter and dust-removal maintenance can cause exposure and cross-contamination. This is why Coral USA can customize some of its filtering solutions with “Bag-In/Bag-Out” filters, protecting the workers’ breathing zone.

Coral USA solutions for smoke and dust in the pharmaceutical industry

Coral USA products for the extraction and filtration of contaminants in the pharmaceutical industry include: extraction arms to capture particles at the source, small portable smoke and dust collectors, suitable for intermittent operation, and centralized collection and filtration systems for medium to high airflow applications.
All pharmaceutical industry equipment uses cartridge filters or sleeve/bag filters in conjunction with pre-filters and HEPA post-filters (for 99.9% efficiency).
ATEX fans are used in these products and are generally located downstream of the ATEX filters so that they are not exposed to the contaminated airflow.
