Tailor-made containment system match with asepsis
FPS, leader
company in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical fields, developing,
manufacturing and installing worldwide its own range of Fine Size Reduction
machines and Containment Solutions (Sterile and Highly Potent API), has
recently delivered a very complex project that combines high
containment within aseptic condition.
It’s
composed by N°2 ANFD (Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryers, respectively in AISI316L
and HC22 material) system with integrated sampling, discharge, milling and
packing-off station suitable to handle OEB4 dry
product under sterile conditions. Discharged product can be moved to final
dispensing containment system for the preparation of final product in different
packages. As an alternative in case of ultra fine powder requirement, the
product after preliminary drying and milling can be moved to dedicated
Micronization and final dispensing isolator (with integrated FPS spiral Jetmill
type PilotMill-6).
Key
features of this system are:
· Multi-chamber design providing defined
barrier between the process and surrounding environment.
· Full access to the micronization unit and
the dispensing station installed inside the isolator.
· Glove ports arrangement to provide best
ergonomics and maximum viewing of all process operations.
· Positive/negative pressure regime between
enclosure and surrounding environment to ensure all potential contamination is
kept inside and required sterility level is assured.
The
FPS Sales director and micronization expert, Eng. Stefano Butti, says: “It
is a plant where the product is processed in conditions of high containment and
asepsis, starting from its filtration and drying and passing through the
milling, micronization and final dispensing. All process steps and
control system were managed entirely by us as main contractor, both for
isolators and for the various process machines. The success of this challenge
was certainly due to the experience gained in similar projects and the ability
to combine these experiences, even in a critical way, with the aim of further
improving what has already been done. “
A dedicated team worked
closely with the client throughout the project to ensure that all specific
requirements were met (sterility, containment, process performance), and
superior quality of manufacture and containment levels were maintained.
Eng.
Butti mention finally the latest FPS news: “FPS is proud to announce the
opening of the U. S. commercial site, based in Philadelphia, which will enable
us to offer a more accurate service in a very important market for the
pharmaceutical industry.
The modernization of the
Fiorenzuola d'Arda production site is completed, and thanks to these new
spaces, FPS will offer its customers the opportunity to take part in some
workshops dedicated to micronization and containment. In the coming months,
dates and all details for registration will be available on our website.”
