Sri Krishna Pharmaceuticals is an established manufacturer of pharmaceutical products such as acetaminophen (paracetamol), folic acid, domperidone and furosemide, supplying more than 150 niche drugs to the Asian pharmaceutical market, as well as Europe and the US.

When expanding production at one of its facilities to include the manufacturing of paracetamol, Sri Krishna Pharmaceuticals sought an ultrasonic sieve. The company chose Russell Finex for a solution, as they had previously purchased its high-performance screening machines.

With more than 80 years’ experience supplying pharmaceutical solutions to global customers including Pfizer, GSK, Wyeth and Sanofi-Aventis, Russell Finex analysed Sri Krishna Pharma’s unique requirements and supplied three 900mm diameters Russell Compact Sieves with Vibrasonic® Deblinding Systems.

The Russell Compact Sieve® is a high-capacity check-screener that is capable of achieving higher throughput rates compared to conventional machines. The enclosed system is ideal for the pharmaceutical industry as it provides total containment, protecting operators from any harmful dust or fumes. High-quality stainless-steel contact parts enable easy cleaning and the unit can be easily dismantled and assembled without the need for tools.

Due to the nature of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), mesh blinding can often be experienced when screening these pharmaceutical powders. Fitting the Russell Compact Sieve® with the Vibrasonic® Deblinding System ensures these powders can be screened on finer meshes without compromising flow rates.

Contact Russell Finex to find out how the Russell Compact Sieve® and Vibrasonic® Deblinding System can help to improve the quality of your fine pharmaceutical powders.
