PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY EXHAUST SYSTEMS

In a way very similar to what happens in the chemical industry chemical industry even pharmaceutical industries show a very high need for high-level and efficient industrial aspiration. The presence of potentially hazardous substances is in fact practically a constant along the entire production line in this field, and the only safeguard – both for the health of operators and for the quality of finished products, which must be impeccable even more than in other fields – is the presence of high-quality aspiration systems.

In a pharmaceutical industry, the entire production line presents critical points where it is necessary to avoid the spread of contaminating substances. The active ingredients used in the production of drugs are, in fact, potentially toxic substances, both for direct inhalation of powders and their vapors and exhalations, as well as for contact with the dyes and excipients used to package pills and tablets. The aspiration system must therefore be present already in the pre-production areas, where the transfer of ingredients and active ingredients into the production machinery is carried out, to avoid dispersions during pouring; it must equally operate in the production areas, to avoid leaks of potentially toxic products from the encapsulating and tableting machines; and it must finally also be active in the clean rooms, where it is essential to avoid any risk of product contamination.

For each of its industrial aspiration systems, Balducci offers free consulting from the design phase and subsequent implementation, starting from an initial on-site inspection. Our industrial aspiration systems are never standard solutions: there are too many variables to consider, starting from the operating conditions of the system, not to mention the specific needs of each client and the actual application situations. We always create custom-made systems. A classic example is noise reduction. , always necessary where industrial aspiration is carried out: we are also specialized in this area, and we can design and offer the best solutions to ensure a satisfactory result even in this respect. Where necessary, the systems can be built in accordance with all normative ATEX.

Balducci offers a preventive and periodic maintenance service for aspiration systems to all its customers; we are able to operate with the same efficiency both on systems of our own making and on those of other companies. For at least three reasons, in fact, the maintenance of industrial aspiration systems proves to be an essential necessity for companies: to protect the health of operators by preventing them from being exposed to significant concentrations of harmful or toxic substances, to ensure company productivity by avoiding accumulations of material that could cause unforeseen machine downtime, and to protect the safety of the plant by avoiding the danger of fires and explosions presented by the accumulation in the air of fine dust.

The main operations related to the maintenance of industrial aspiration systems can be summarized as follows:

• Accurate control of the plant's conditions and verification of component wear

• Cleaning or replacement of the installed filter elements

• Repair of any damage; if necessary, replacement of damaged components

• Verification of the functionality of the aspiration system according to the established efficiency parameters

• Check of the safety devices installed on the system

• Restoration of any compromised functionalities
