Pharmaceuticals

In the pharmaceutical industry, improving health and quality of life, as well as rapid market introduction and flexible production processes, are crucial. Reliable suppliers are essential to ensure process stability. The highest purity and standards are paramount in the production of pharmaceutical products. All components and materials in the production process must meet the highest requirements, as errors cannot be tolerated.

Richter offers high-performance, PFA-lined pumps and valves specifically designed for the demanding requirements of the pharmaceutical industry, such as API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) production.

Our products ensure the highest safety and efficiency in various production processes, including synthesis, CIP/SIP processes, transport, and storage of APIs, and offer:

Corrosion Resistance: The PFA lining of the pumps and valves is universally resistant to corrosive substances, especially the chemicals used in API production
Reliability and Durability: Richter products are known for their high reliability and long service life, making them ideal for use in critical pharmaceutical processes.
Safety: The products are designed to meet the highest safety standards, which is particularly important when handling toxic and hazardous substances. The conductivity of the pumps and valves also ensures safe use in explosive areas (Ex-zones), especially when using solvents in CIP processes.

Why Richter Products are the First Choice for the Pharmaceutical Industry:

FDA Compliance: The products meet the stringent standards of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for pure and antistatic PFA. This means they can be safely used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products intended for human consumption.
Oil and Grease-Free Assembly: The assembly and packaging of the products are carried out according to a special cleaning specification developed in collaboration with customers from the pharmaceutical industry. This eliminates any contamination with grease and oils.
Low Dead Space Product Design: The products are designed with minimal dead space where residues could accumulate. They are also optionally available in a completely dead space-free design, which further facilitates cleaning and minimizes the risk of contamination.
Cost Savings: Thanks to the high durability and reliability of the products, the lowest life cycle costs are incurred. Every avoided replacement of failed valves and pumps saves time and money.
Pure PFA or Antistatic PFA: The products are available in variants made of pure PFA or antistatic PFA. Pure PFA is always FDA compliant. Antistatic PFA is FDA compliant depending on the actual material blend. Both pure and conductive PFA offer excellent chemical resistance, while antistatic PFA additionally prevents electrostatic charges on the wetted contact surfaces. This is particularly important for safety during CIP cleaning with solvents.
Simplified and Fast Cleaning and Disassembly: The products are designed to be quickly disassembled and easily cleaned. This saves time and reduces downtime in production.
Stainless Steel Housing: In addition to the standard design with ductile iron housings, stainless steel housings are optionally available for certain models including diaphragm valves, ball valves, and sampling valves. This offers additional advantages in cleaning the housing.
TA Luft Certification: The products are certified according to the latest TA Luft standards of 2021 (ISO 15848). This certification confirms that the products meet the stringent German and European emission requirements, underscoring their environmental friendliness and safety.
