Oil-free air compressor,an indispensable equipment for biopharmaceuticals

Oil-free air compressors play a vital role in biopharmaceuticals. They are used in many processes throughout the entire biopharmaceutical production process. This article will introduce the application of oil-free air compressors in the biopharmaceutical process from the perspectives of the core application of air compressors in the pharmaceutical process, product quality safety assurance, and the cleaning and disinfection of other equipment.

The core application of oil-free air compressor in biopharmaceutical process

1.Supply compressed gas

As we all know, the primary function of an air compressor is to compress air. In the biopharmaceutical process, many related operating equipment utilize compressed gas. Oil-free air compressors can provide large quantities of stable and clean compressed air to meet the compressed gas needs of pharmaceutical engineering. Equipment such as tablet presses, centrifuges, conveying systems, freeze-drying equipment, as well as agitators and mixers all require compressed air to operate to ensure the smooth operation of the entire production process.

2.Supply of other gases

Biopharmaceutical processes also utilize other gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, fuel gas, and vacuum. These gases are widely used in biological processes. For example, the microbial growth during fermentation requires large quantities of oxygen. Nitrogen is used for packaging finished pharmaceuticals and environmental protection, while carbon dioxide is used for pH adjustment and supercritical extraction. Oil-free air compressors provide the necessary oxygen in this process, working in conjunction with nitrogen generators to produce nitrogen.

air compressors can ensure product quality and safety in the biopharmaceutical process

1. Remove harmful substances produced in the pharmaceutical process

In the entire biopharmaceutical process, it is inevitable that a lot of unnecessary moisture and other harmful gases will be produced. Oil-free air compressors can effectively remove excess moisture and filter out impurities and other harmful substances. This can reduce pollution generated during the production process and improve the quality of drugs and production safety. In addition, biopharmaceuticals need to meet GMP quality standards. Oil-free air compressors provide clean, dry compressed air to ensure that drugs can meet the standards required by GMP.

2. Drug packaging and sterilization process

In the process of biopharmaceuticals, the packaging of finished products and the sterilization process have very high requirements for air quality. Oil-free air compressors can provide clean and stable compressed air to drive pharmaceutical packaging equipment, such as filling machines, sealing machines, etc. In the sterilization process of biopharmaceuticals, oil-free air compressors need to compress air and then sterilize it with steam.

3. Purify gas and improve gas purity

Biopharmaceuticals require high-purity gases to ensure the quality and safety of drugs. Oil-free air compressors can improve air purity by equipping them with some gas processing and purification equipment. For example, the combination of air compressors, filters, and dryers can effectively remove impurities in the air, thereby improving air purity.

Air compressors for cleaning, disinfection and maintenance of biopharmaceutical equipment

1.Compressed air purging, sanitary maintenance

Oil-free air compressors can effectively remove dust and impurities from the surfaces and interiors of equipment used in the pharmaceutical process by blowing air through them, ensuring the basic hygiene of pharmaceutical equipment and meeting GMP standards. As pharmaceuticals are imported goods, the cleanliness and hygiene of the equipment used in the production process are crucial. Oil-free air compressors provide compressed air to support the cleaning and maintenance of equipment, thereby reducing contamination during the production process and avoiding cross-infection during the process.

In summary, oil-free air compressors are required in multiple stages of the biopharmaceutical process. Air compressors are indispensable for improving production quality, hygiene, safety, and product quality assurance.
