Pharmaceutical Pumps

Pharmaceutical PumpMedical pumps play an important role in pharmaceutical sector and are also an essential requirement just like other pharmaceutical machinery. A pharmaceutical pump has flame proof motor which purifies the inflammable liquids and makes them non-flammable. These pumps have the capability to manage liquids like barium sulphate, carbon di sulphate, Hexane, Hydrogen fluoride plating solutions. Pumps for pharmaceutical industry have numerous advantages and their compact, lightweight design makes them easy to install. Medical pump is a sterile equipment to pump fluid through a germ-free environment, operates on the principle of centrifugal pump, and provides low cost disposable pumping.  

Pharmaceutical industry has paid special attention to pump sector and pumps with more advanced technology are being manufactured. Pharmaceutical pumps have unique features - from filtration and fluid transfer, to formulation, dispensing and fill/finish. Traditional pumps were of the centrifugal or piston variety but their design, material and finish have been remarkably improved. A good quality pharmaceutical pump has a steel finish and has the ability to handle the most toughest form of chemicals. Medical pumps may be standard, multistage, self priming, air handling, axial flow, free passage, fluid tight and immiscible.

Being able to capture considerable market share, pharma pumps are very easy to clean and do not require excessive maintenance. For accurate and high volume dispensing it is important to select the right type of pharmaceutical high pressure pump because all pumps are not meant for high-volume applications. Some pharmaceutical pumps are available in durable metal and PTFE(Polytetrafluoroethylene) and have their own monitoring system. They can operate with all types of critical or toxic liquids and also with intensely low viscosity or abrasive suspensions.

Pump technology is advancing and this advancement consists of regular processing, moving towards higher containment, control and cleaning ability, also increase in use of Teflon PTFE.
