Standard Pharmaceutical-Grade Design Features
- 316L tube side material
- Seamless tubes polished to 25Ra
- 40Ra exterior finish
- Tube-to-tube sheet seal-welding
- Double tube sheet: aids in preventing cross-contamination of process fluids between the shell and tubes, and allows for easy leak detection
- Fully radiused and polished return pockets and weep slots to enhance cleanability and draining
- Pitched to promote draining: due to surface tension in highly polished tubes, air or heat may be required to fully drain exchangers
- Passivation of product surfaces
Purple Heat Exchangers: Pharmaceutical Solutions
Product Heaters & Coolers
Consistent and precise temperature control is essential for uniform product blending in pharmaceutical processes. Purple Heat Exchangers’ stainless steel shell and tube heat exchangers ensure efficient heat transfer for both large and small batch products, providing the reliability required for heating and cooling in demanding environments.
Key benefits include:
- Sanitary Design: Polished stainless steel surfaces resist product build-up and allow for easy cleaning.
- Versatility: Ideal for viscous products, with configurations to suit various process requirements.
- Durability: Operates safely under high or low temperatures and supports vacuum or high-pressure conditions.
- Customisation: Configurable as single-pass or multi-pass, with horizontal, inclined, or vertical installations to fit your space.
Clean-in-Place (CIP) Systems
Pharmaceutical industries rely on Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems to maintain hygiene standards without disassembling equipment. Purple Heat Exchangers’ CIP solutions heat cleaning media, such as water or steam, ensuring the sanitation of tanks, pipes, and processing equipment.
CIP system benefits include:
- Efficiency: Optimised cleaning with minimal water usage and the ability to reuse rinse solutions.
- Continuous Operation: Enables cleaning of one part of the plant while others remain operational.
- Safety: Reduces manual labour and enhances workplace safety.
Water for Injection (WFI) Heating & Cooling
Water for Injection (WFI) is vital in pharmaceutical manufacturing, requiring precise heating and cooling to maintain sterility and purity. Purple Heat Exchangers ensure uniform temperatures for WFI, supporting processes like recirculation heating to prevent contamination and cooling for proper storage.
Key features include:
- Polished Stainless Steel Construction: Minimises contamination and supports clean operation.
- Consistent Performance: Maintains optimal WFI temperature and flow rates for storage and use.
- Adaptable Design: Supports processes such as distillation and reverse osmosis with precise temperature control.
Point-of-Use (POU) Cooling
Point-of-use cooling systems deliver chilled water for various applications, including equipment and product cooling, ensuring temperature-sensitive materials are handled with care.
Vapor Condensers
Vapor condensers capture potentially harmful moisture from reactors, maintaining a safe and controlled environment.
Clean Steam Generators
Our steam generation solutions produce pure steam for sanitary processes like equipment cleaning. The hygienic design ensures easy maintenance and reliable performance for high-purity applications.
At Purple Heat Exchangers, our pharmaceutical-grade solutions are designed to meet the rigorous standards of the industry. From heating and cooling products to maintaining water purity, we are committed to supporting your critical operations with reliable, high-quality heat exchangers.
