Batch Sieves: Essential for Adding Value to Pharmaceutical Production

Written by Carl Hodges | Dec 8, 2022 11:00:00 AM

Batch sieving is used extensively in pharmaceutical manufacturing to guarantee a safe, high-quality product that meets tight specifications for constituent product fractions.

The Use Of An Industrial Sieve Is Vital To:

  • Separate out all oversized particles to ensure even excellent separation of raw material.
  • Remove contaminants, such as bag materials, to guarantee the end product is pure.
  • Ensure that all ingredients and end products meet demanding quality assurance standards.
  • Protect pharmaceutical manufacturers against compensation claims or litigation.
  • Minimise potential quality issues downstream.

Features And Benefits Of Industrial Sieve Screens In Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

For pharmaceutical screening, batch sieving is an ideal solution for the following reasons:

  • Batch sieves are simple to use and maintain, with easy stripping down for thorough cleaning.
  • Due to their compact design, they can be used in any production process where there is limited space or restricted height.
  • The aperture of a wire mesh can be changed to process powders of different particle sizes when required.
  • The correct mesh aperture (with possible ultrasonics) will avoid the blinding of the sieve.
  • Excellent high quality grade fabrication using 316L where required will keep any metal impurities to a minimum.

By using a batch sieve in your pharmaceutical manufacturing, you can be confident of achieving consistently high-quality results that meet your stringent product quality specifications.
