Industrial grinding machines for pharmaceutical processing plants

In the processing and production of pharmaceutical products, process reliability, compliance with hygiene regulations and adherence to quality standards have the highest priority. In these areas, a surface roughness of RA < 0.8 µm to RA < 0.3 µm is required , which is achieved in several work steps. Suhner ABRASIVE offers the right machines and abrasives to suit the chamber sizes, shape of the workpieces and requirements. Find out more about the importance of first-class grinding equipment in the pharmaceutical industry and the advantages of SUHNER Abrasive solutions for the highest quality requirements!

SUHNER is your partner for the efficient implementation of the requirements and guidelines of the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group) and the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineering).

Industrial grinding equipment in the pharmaceutical sector: production of vacuum chambers and more

Vacuum chambers are used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products and in the processing of foodstuffs in order to carry out processes under controlled conditions. These are essential for the manufacture and processing of pharmaceutical products. A vacuum is created in these chambers in order to carry out reactions or processes in the absence of air and other environmental influences. This is particularly important for the production of medicines, where the highest levels of purity and protection against contamination are required.

Vacuum chambers must be sanded to remove roughness such as mill scale, scales or grooves. Abrasives must not be worked into the surface. Depending on the initial roughness (RA) and the layer thickness to be removed, sanding is carried out in several steps with increasingly finer grit in cross sanding, in alternating sanding directions.

These steps require the selection of the right sanding equipment and the use of the optimum sanding technique. Only then is it possible to minimize surface roughness and meet the required specifications. SUHNER Abrasive offers special grinding equipment and media that are perfectly matched to the needs of vacuum chamber processing to ensure a uniform and flawless surface.
