Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic
The pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry places exceptionally high demands
The pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry places exceptionally high demands on hygiene, precision, and reproducibility. From coating tablets to cleaning reactors and mixing creams and lotions, every process step must run flawlessly and consistently, with minimal risk of contamination. At the same time, strict regulations and quality standards apply, meaning installations must function not only efficiently, but also fully traceably and hygienically.
Spraybest supports companies in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry with technical solutions for coating, air drying, cleaning and washing, tank mixing, and tank cleaning. We think along with you about the right spray, compressed air, and cleaning technology for your situation. We work with renowned brands such as BETE, EXAIR, and MOOG. These brands are well suited to applications where precise spray technology, compressed air solutions, and hygienic high-pressure cleaning play a central role in this demanding sector.
Coating tablets and products
When coating within the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, liquids such as film coatings, flavorings, or protective layers are applied evenly across a product. Good coating ensures a stable active ingredient, an attractive finish, and a longer shelf life. Uneven coating layers can lead to dosage differences, waste of costly raw materials, or a rejected batch.
BETE is relevant for professional spray solutions suited to coating applications in this sector. With air-atomizing nozzles, even thicker liquids can be finely and evenly distributed, tailored to the desired droplet size, capacity, and spray angle. This creates a uniform coating layer with minimal risk of dripping, contributing to consistent product quality and less rejection during production.
Air drying for a clean and dry end product
In many production processes within the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, moisture must be removed from products, vials, or packaging material, for example after a washing or rinsing step. Residual moisture can lead to contamination risks, labeling problems, or quality loss during storage. Air drying ensures that thin liquid layers are removed quickly and effectively, without damaging the product.
BETE supplies air blast nozzles that convert compressed air into a flat, fan-shaped airstream, making it easy to remove moisture from surfaces. EXAIR also offers air knives and air wipes suited to drying vials, packaging, or components on the production line. With the right combination of airflow and compressed air consumption, you can make drying processes more efficient and more hygienic, in line with the strict requirements of this sector.
Cleaning and washing of installations and equipment
Hygiene is of essential importance in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, both for product safety and for compliance with laws and regulations. Installations, mixing vessels, and production equipment must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent cross-contamination between batches. Effective cleaning also saves time and water, and reduces the risk of production disruptions.
BETE supplies nozzles specifically suited for washing and cleaning, with a powerful spray jet that effectively loosens contamination. Thanks to various spray angles and flow rates, the spray technology can be tailored to the nature of the contamination and the shape of the installation, contributing to thorough and hygienic cleaning of your production environment.
Tank mixing and tank cleaning
Within the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, liquids such as creams, lotions, and active ingredients are often mixed and stored in tanks. It's important that the contents remain homogeneous and that settling or separation of components is prevented. Traditional mechanical mixing systems often require extra maintenance and are harder to keep clean within a hygienic environment.
BETE supplies nozzles that enable tank mixing without any moving parts inside the tank. By circulating liquid through the nozzle via a pump, the tank contents are mixed in a way that is simple, low-maintenance, and hygienic.
Besides mixing, tank cleaning is a crucial process within this sector. Tanks, reactors, and IBCs must be thoroughly cleaned between batches to prevent product contamination. MOOG supplies Swiss-made high-pressure cleaning systems for this, which can be water-, air-, or electrically driven. These systems are designed according to hygiene guidelines and are also suitable for ATEX environments, making them ideally suited for cleaning tanks and reactors within the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry. Thanks to the modular design, components can be replaced quickly, limiting maintenance time and therefore downtime of your installation.
Many of these cleaning processes are carried out according to the Clean-in-Place principle, in which tanks and piping are automatically cleaned without the installation having to be dismantled. This not only saves time, but also reduces the risk of human error and contamination between production batches. MOOG's rotating cleaning heads provide full 360° coverage of the tank surface, which is essential for thoroughly cleaning hard-to-reach corners and agitators as well. This allows you to meet the high hygiene standards common in this sector, while keeping water and energy consumption limited.
