New clean-in-place sifter ensures unrivalled hygiene standards for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

An entirely new clean-in-place vibratory sieve, designed for vital quality control and particle-sizing operations in the production of pharmaceuticals, has been introduced by Russell Finex. Unlike conventional sieves, the new high-performance Russell machine is totally enclosed, making it suitable for cleaning and steaming in place, up to pressures of 105 Psi. This provides manufacturers with significant cost and operational benefits by allowing equipment to be sterilised in place.

This eliminates the need to dis-assemble and remove equipment from the production line and move it to a separate, isolated area for cleaning, a time-consuming and hazardous process which requires operatives to wear air suits for protection. As a result, machine downtime is reduced to a minimum, producing considerable savings in labour and production costs. Safety and working conditions are also improved by ensuring that operatives do not suffer any harmful effects by contact with toxic drugs.

With 85 years’ experience providing a range of innovative sieving and separation solutions for various industries, contact Russell Finex today, or fill out the enquiry form attached to this page, to find out more about what is available for the pharmaceutical industry.
