Comply with the stringent health and safety requirements in pharmaceutical production while meeting mandatory quality requirements.
More and more, pharma manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce the costs associated with product manufacture yet increase safety and quality. Cleanroom air filtration and process dust collection solutions play a key role in ensuring the manufacture of high-quality pharmaceutical products while helping you increase your throughput.
Oral solid dosage (OSD) processes face two main challenges. For one, the generic drug market is putting pressure on manufacturing operations to become more agile and efficient. Filtration systems at these facilities have the potential to help lower operating costs by cutting energy consumption and equipment downtime and by providing filters with an extended lifetime.
Secondly, drugs containing high-potency compounds and active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs), like in oncology treatments, are on the rise. Their production demands enhanced operational quality and occupational safety to eliminate cross-contamination risks and to protect people and the environment. Operational flexibility also presents a challenge, requiring high quality while allowing for rapid production changeovers.
Camfil provides state-of-the-art HEPA filters and specialised dust collectors for OSD processes and facilities. OSD facilities consist of different areas that each require their own air filter or dust collector to meet various needs:
|

Quality filtration to ensure employee well-being and productivity |
Camfil is a leader in air filtration solutions for the life science industry and works in close cooperation with several of the largest global pharma manufacturers. We offer filters, housings and air cleaners designed to comply with strict demands on safety, traceability and control.
Camfil’s CleanSeal™ filter housing is also specially designed for life sciences. It is a robust, fully welded, leak-proof solution that is easy to install, handle and maintain.
Control your sensitive production environment with dedicated pharma air filtration and dust collection solutions. You will gain these benefits:
Guarantee product safety and ensure the longest and safest shelf life by controlling production and air contact issues. Using filters that comply with cleaning agents, temperatures and standards protect both products and people.
It's imperative to protect people and the environment from highly dangerous biological, chemical or radioactive risks during research or production operation, especially within defense, the military and university labs.
Controlled environments must protect critical processes and personnel. A high level of air cleanliness is essential to protect products and to contain hazardous compounds. High-quality filtration systems help ensure regulatory compliance and maintain efficient operations.
Protect people, processes, products and equipment while keeping maintenance and energy costs low by keeping air handling units unclogged.
G-CON Manufacturing, a mobile cleanroom provider, and Camfil recently partnered to provide their leading-edge technologies together to meet the needs of a well-known pharmaceutical customer.
Case studies Life science and healthcare
Case Study: Odour Solution For Pharmaceutical Company. There was a distinct odour in the manufacturer's lab and cold storage area, and employee complaints of nuisance odour eventually circulated to management where the concern was escalated.
Case studies
Case Study: Cannabis Cultivation. This key player in the industry operates one of the largest facilities in Canada, with over 150,000 square feet of space licensed for medical marijuana production. The process of growing cannabis produces a strong smell.
Pfizer Prioritises Energy Reduction Project. Camfil secured a supply and installation contract at the Pfizer Global Research and Development Campus in South-East Kent, UK that improved air quality and saves over £2 million.
Case Study: Camtain Contains Explosive Pharma Dust. A multinational pharmaceutical company needed a dust extraction system for their new tableting suite in Spain. The suite comprised of six rooms, each with its own tablet machine that created explosive dusts.
GSX collectors are ideal for use in pharma, mining, food and chemical processing industries. They also provide a safer work environment in metalworking applications like welding and cutting.
