The pharmaceutical industry places the highest demands on process plants. Strict rules, sensitive active ingredients and complete documentation call for well-designed technology. We plan, qualify and optimise plants for producing medicines, from the first idea to finished production.
Requirements of pharmaceutical production
Pharmaceutical production follows the rules of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Therefore, process technology must above all meet these points:
- Gentle processing of sensitive cell cultures and active ingredients
- Process control to the highest CIP and SIP requirements
- Safety when handling concentrated acids or explosive mixtures
- Very accurate automatic dosing, for example with our dosing station
- Precise temperature control, often with a tolerance of just 0.5 °C
- Reliable operation and complete documentation
Typical applications in pharmacy
We plan and supply process plants for these products. Each page describes the specific requirements for processes and mixers.

Frequently Asked Questions about process technology in pharmaceuticals
What requirements does pharmaceutical production place on process plants?
Strict regulations require, among other things, protection of fragile cell cultures, process control to the highest CIP and SIP standards, safety in handling concentrated acids or explosive mixtures and very precise automatic dosing of active ingredients.
How precise must temperature control be?
Tolerance ranges of 0.5 °C throughout the entire process are not uncommon in pharmaceutical production.
Which pharmaceutical products do you support?
For example eye ointments and drops, gels, ointments, pastes, suppositories, suspensions, cough syrup, infusion and injection solutions, vaccines, liposomes, food supplements and veterinary products.
Which services do you offer pharmaceutical manufacturers?
Process engineering consulting, planning and requirement specifications, construction supervision, qualification (DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ), process optimization and used homogenizing mixers and process plants.
