Pharmaceutical: Precision Process Control

Air Innovations recently designed and built environmental control units for two separate pharmaceutical packaging firms that required unique air conditioning technology.

In one case, a returning customer requested precisely controlled conditions to provide an exact level of uniform drying for fluid bed dryers used by the manufacturer to coat capsules, pills and caplets. We delivered, with an environmental control unit supplying air to the process tools with the ability to add or remove humidity and maintain a 50°F dew point level.

The second pharmaceutical company required a single packaged system containing humidification and a cooling system, plus a desiccant dryer, for a blister pack packaging machine. The company requested broad flexibility in environmental control in anticipation of future requirements in the industry. Once again, Air Innovations came through with a multiple device system designed to provide either a very dry or a very humid environment on demand.
