What’s Your Project?
Pharma Hygiene Products has over a decade of experience designing and building ATEX Mixing Vessels – both custom and fully bespoke. Read on to find out how we can support your application, or request a quotation today – including Aseptic Manufacturing.
Application Example 1 – Medicine Tablet Coatings:
- A recent solution: 50L ATEX Mixing Vessel
- One of the ingredients is high ethanol content
- A bottom outlet valve makes it very easy to decant the finished mix
- The motorised air mixer and propeller achieve a more consistent mix than could be done manually
Application Example 2: Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Manufacturing:
- A recent solution: 30L ATEX Mixing Vessel
- Potentially flammable ingredients include volatile organic compounds or solvents
- The vessel prevents ignition from electrostatic discharges or hot surfaces while providing effective mixing for uniform product quality
Handling of Reactive Compounds:
- A recent solution: 100L ATEX Mixing Vessel
- Some pharmaceutical compounds are reactive and can release gases or become unstable under certain conditions
- ATEX-certified vessels allow for controlled mixing without risking unintended reactions or ignition
Suspensions for Injectable or Topical Formulations:
- A recent solution: 80L ATEX Mixing Vessel
- For the production of sterile emulsions and suspensions,
for injectable and/or topical drug delivery
