The pharmaceutical industry places the highest demands on process plants. Strict rules, sensitive active ingredients and complete documentation call for well-engineered technology. We design, qualify and optimise mixing and homogenising plants as well as complete process plants for the manufacture of medicinal products, from the initial idea to finished production.
Requirements of pharmaceutical production
The manufacture of pharmaceuticals follows the rules of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). The process technology must therefore meet the following requirements above all:
- Gentle processing of sensitive cell cultures and active ingredients
- Process control in line with the highest CIP and SIP requirements
- Safety when handling concentrated acids or explosive mixtures
- Highly accurate automatic dosing, for example with our dosing station
- Accurate temperature control, often with a tolerance of only 0.5 °C
- Reliable operation and complete documentation
Typical applications in the pharmaceutical industry
We design and supply process plants for these products. On each page you will find the specific requirements for processes and mixers.

Frequently asked questions about process technology in the pharmaceutical industry
What requirements does pharmaceutical production place on process plants?
Strict regulations require, among other things, gentle handling of fragile cell cultures, process control in line with the highest CIP and SIP requirements, safety when handling concentrated acids or explosive mixtures, and highly accurate automatic dosing of the active ingredients.
How precisely must the temperature be controlled?
Tolerance ranges of 0.5 °C throughout the entire process are not unusual in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Which pharmaceutical products do you support?
For example eye ointments and eye drops, gels, ointments, pastes, suppositories, suspensions, cough syrup, infusion and injection solutions, vaccines, liposomes, dietary supplements and veterinary products.
What services do you offer pharmaceutical manufacturers?
Process engineering consulting, planning and user requirement specifications, construction supervision, qualification (DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ), process optimisation as well as used homogenising mixers and process plants.
