The manufacture of pharmaceutical drugs demands stringent
humidity management, particularly with many processes requiring round-the-clock
environmental control. Here are some of the reasons pharmaceutical process
managers must consider humidification:
- Trace moisture on the surface of drugs can accelerate decomposition, resulting in shortened shelf life.
- The production of pills coated with aqueous solutions requires a precise level of humidity to allow the coating to dry out at the optimum rate and maintain the desired drug release rate.
- Printing onto tablets with water-based ink can also be problematic if moisture levels in the air are not correct, while low humidity can cause pills to stick together and lead to packing issues.
- By ensuring humidity levels are maintained to within a tight tolerance, pharmaceutical manufacturers can enjoy energy efficiency improvements, increased yields, reduced wastage and higher product quality.
Gibbons have extensive experience in the supply, installation
and servicing of humidification systems across a wide range of sectors,
including data centres, cleanrooms and pharmaceutical production. For more
