Air Compressors for the Pharmaceutical Industry

In 2011, ISO established the most stringent air quality yet – Class 0, which aims to limit oil contamination in liquid, aerosol and vapor forms. The FDA states that ''each manufacturer shall establish and maintain procedures to prevent contamination of equipment or product by substances that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on product quality''. This emphasizes the critical need for oil-free air to ensure consumer safety.

Ingersoll Rand’s oil-free solutions deliver Class 0 air that you can rely on and also assist you in maintaining your air quality through unrivalled equipment quality and design. Our ISO:8573 aligned technologies help manufacturers adhere to the stringent requirements by ensuring production processes remain 100% free from compressor-created contaminants. This is important for the safe manufacturing of life-saving and sustaining pharmaceuticals.

Compressed air plays an integral role in the running of your pharmaceutical production lines. It is used in a range of applications such as tablet production and coating, mixing and holding, product filling, packaging and bottling, and for use in aseptic applications.
