Pharmaceutical processing, tank charging is required under an aseptic environment or for containment of potent powders. Walker Barrier Systems in the past has provided isolators for customer’s process tanks to achieve the required environment. Walker Barrier Systems can now provide high quality, stainless steel tanks either as part of an isolator project or as a standalone unit.
One of the major underlying issues to come along with the pandemic is that of the United States’ dependence on foreign countries for the supply of pharmaceutical drugs. Over the past few decades, the production of medicines for them. Population has gradually moved overseas. In fact, as of this past April, less than of the manufacturing facilities for medicines are domestic. Now the Federal Government is stating that the is going to take back the pharmaceutical industry as large corporations such as are opening back up manufacturing facilities on soil. Like many other processing industries, stainless steel is a key material used in the production of pharmaceuticals.
Pharmaceutical industry is governed by strict legislative norms. With time these norms have just got stringent. In order to comply with the adjustment, high performance alloys containing chromium, nickel, molybdenum are used largely throughout processes. Higher composition of these alloys imparts greater resistance to adverse environments.
Stainless steel is used in Pharmaceutical industry for manufacturing of tanks, pressure vessels, pipe works as well as more complicated parts like orthopaedic implants and hypodermic needles. Material used in the industry needs to interact with corrosive chemicals, high temperature, and high pressure and withstand frequent fierce cleaning regimes.
These adverse operating conditions are major concern for the industry as they may lead to various types of indignity like chloride stress-corrosion cracking, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion and corrosion of weld heat-affected zones.
Several grades of stainless steel are used in pharmaceutical production but how and where they are used is unexpected on the specific application. By far the most common alloy specified is, followed by other alloys such as and even some of the duplex grades like can also serve certain purposes in the manufacturing process.
The increase of the nickel and molybdenum content in provides for expand corrosion resistance and pitting resistance; two factors that are essential in pharmaceutical production. Is also more resistant to acid and base attacks on the materials. Because of this increased corrosion and pitting resistance, is used for any equipment that comes in direct contact with the pharmaceutical products.
This includes equipment such as storage tanks, pipelines, conveyor supports, and cleansing and drying racks. Another benefit of is its increased high-temperature tolerance. It is also used in pharmaceuticals but generally in non-contact parts. This could include structural supports for equipment or for areas not as exposed to any harsh conditions, easy to clean and it will not corrode from general parts washing and revelation
