Production managers in chemical and pharmaceutical industries need to ensure that outgoing products are always of the highest quality. In this context, cross contamination is the greatest threat to product quality and can be avoided by complying with the strict rules established by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices).
There are 3 types of cross-contamination:
– physical contamination: fragments and dust from compression machinery
– chemical contamination: steam, humidity, molecules
– biological contamination: bacteria, fungi, viruses
GMP calls for the use of appropriate equipment and measures to prevent products from being contaminated by external agents. This equipment includes industrial vacuum cleaners with HEPA filtration. Installed on production lines or in departments, these are the most efficient, fastest and safest solution. Pneumatic conveyors on the other hand ensure the dust is transported safely, preventing products from coming into contact with polluting agents and making sure the morphology of the final product remains intact.

Vacuum cleaner for pharmaceutical industry MTL 20.18
Product Overview
The MTL 20.18 industrial vacuum cleaner is a compact, silent and flexible unit designed for small, general, and on-board cleaning tasks within the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
Manufactured in full compliance with GMP standards, it is an ideal vacuum cleaner for fine dust extraction, thanks to its antistatic polyester pocket filter, which guarantees a large filtering surface area and high resistance to dust passage. The filter is cleaned by an integrated ergonomic manual cleaning system. It is possible to install a HEPA filter able to filter dust down to 0.18 microns, with an efficiency up to 99.995%, to guarantee the purity of the air returned to the working environment.
The canister, with a collection capacity of up to 22 liters, can be easily emptied thanks to the release system. It is optionally available in AISI304 stainless steel polished on the inside to facilitate material flow and simplify cleaning. Disposable filter bags can be used to collect and dispose of the material safely.
A powerful side channel turbine with a vacuum limiting valve ensures even continuous use without maintenance need.
The unit is designed completely in painted steel and is also available with certification for ATEX 22 zones.

PHARMA 40 : INDUSTRIAL VACUUM CLEANER FOR PHARMACEUTICAL POWDERS OEB3
Product Overview
The Pharma 40 industrial vacuum cleaner is a compact, quiet and flexible unit designed for suction of APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) classified up to OEB3. The construction, designed to provide maximum dust filtration and total operator safety, fully complies with GMP guidelines, and all maintenance operations are carried out using by systems that ensure maximum safety. An antistatic polyester pocket filter provides a large filtering surface area and high resistance to the passage of dust. The filter is cleaned by means of an integrated mechanical cleaning system. The primary filter kit is easily removable and replaceable without the need for additional tools on site.
It is possible to install different levels of HEPA absolute filtration capable of filtering dust up to 0.18 microns with an efficiency of 99.995% (up to 2 inlets and one outlet) and Bibo (BagIn-BagOut) system, which allows the absolute filter to be replaced without coming into contact with the sucked-in dust.
The container is made of AISI304 stainless steel with a satin finish on the outside and polished on the inside to facilitate material flow and simplify cleaning. Disposable filter bags can be used to collect and dispose of the material safely.
Different motors, with vacuum relief valve equipped for motor protection, are available to adapt the unit to different uses in the pharmaceutical production process. The unit is entirely made of painted steel, except for the container. On request, other parts of the vacuum cleaner can be made of AISI304 stainless steel, with the polishing of the parts in contact with the sucked material. The Atex Z22 certified version of the unit is available on request.

Pharma 40.40 DC
Product Overview
The Pharma 40DC industrial vacuum cleaner is a compact, quiet and flexible unit designed for dust containment during operations with highly powerful HPAPI active ingredients. The construction, designed to provide maximum dust filtration and total operator safety, fully complies with GMP guidelines. All maintenance operations are carried out by using systems that guarantee maximum safety, with a level of filtration up to OEB4 / OEB5, making it suitable for work with pharmaceutical powders. The polished AISI316 stainless steel cyclone separates 98% (maximum, tested with placebo dust) of the extracted dust without the use of a filter unit and with no maintenance required. The Wash in place optional is available for the internal cleaning of the unit. The remaining dust is retained by a HEPA absolute filter that can filter dust up to 0.18 microns with an efficiency of 99.995% (with the possibility of installing 2 more, one on the intake and one on the air outlet) and a Bibo (BagIn-BagOut) system, which allows the absolute filter to be replaced without coming into contact with the sucked-in dust. A capacitive level probe signals when the container is full. The material is discharged into crimpable plastic containment bags that guarantee tightness and prevent any contact with dust even during disposal. Different motors are available to adapt the unit to different uses in the pharmaceutical production process with a vacuum relief valve equipped for motor protection. All parts in contact with pharmaceutical powders are made of AISI316 stainless steel, which is perfect for material flow and simplifies cleaning operations of the unit. The frame is made of AISI304 stainless steel. The Atex Z22 certified version of the unit is available on request.
