Pharmaceuticals

High demands on product safety and the reproducibility of production processes are the main challenges of the pharmaceutical industry. Typical applications include mixing, granulating, freeze-drying, coating, sterilising, filling, closing, sealing, cleaning and packaging. Personal and process protection as well as hygiene have top priority in this industry.

Schmersal offers the pharmaceutical machinery industry a comprehensive product range of hygienic safety components that is unique on the market in this variety. Our products also have the necessary approvals required for hygiene-sensitive areas, such as Ecolab and EHEDG.

One example is our hygienic safety light curtains, which achieve IP69 protection. This series is resistant to H₂O₂, making it suitable for aseptic or sterile manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, where vaporised hydrogen peroxide ensures high product safety.

In addition to other hygienic components, Schmersal also supplies a wide range of safety sensors and solenoid interlocks in hygienic design that can be connected in series and forward extensive diagnostic information to a higher-level control system. In this way, Schmersal supports digitalisation in the pharmaceutical industry.
