Source extraction in the pharmaceutical industry

During the manufacturing of many different products in the pharmaceutical industry, particulate matter, gases and vapours spread rapidly in pharmaceutical production areas. Fine dust and aerosols (very small liquid droplets or solid particles floating in the air) can contaminate the air. With directed extraction and ventilation especially developed for the pharmaceutical industry, concentrations of these types of contaminants can be minimized and reduced. Since there may also be a potential dust explosion hazard, we also offer certified products in accordance with ATEX guidelines after a proper risk analysis.

Air Solutions Holland has the following different source extraction solutions for the pharmaceutical industry:

  • Extraction arms with various different nozzles
  • Extraction cranes for more range
  • Ring extraction around manholes or filler openings
  • Slit extraction very directional over the full width or length of a machine or process line
  • Edge extraction for a larger area around a machine or process line

The purpose of these extraction solutions is always the same: protect your employees and products by directly extracting harmful gases, vapours, fine dust and/or aerosols. The source extraction solution is therefore mounted as close as possible between the place where the dust is released and the place where your staff breathes air. Airflows are easily disturbed by rapid movements of equipment or heat and cold sources. Also, many gases and vapours are heavier than air, so they will sag downwards. All these specific requirements and preconditions are taken into account in our advice: how can we best protect your product and your employees, what is the best choice of source extraction, what speed of extraction is desirable and what is the ideal position of the extraction system. Air Solutions Holland therefore offers a customer specific solution that is most suitable for your situation, our employees are always ready to advise you without any obligation.
