Cleanrooms and their controlled environments have long been associated with the pharmaceutical and medical industries, but thousands of jobs in cleanrooms have been created in other industries where practitioners perform some amazing applications and experiments within the cleanroom setting. Because the cleanroom can be designed to precision specifications and may operate in accordance with strict industry practices, their clean environment lends itself to many manufacturing pursuits that depend upon its enhanced quality controls. The following are just a few of the amazing applications that cleanroom technology fosters.
Pharma Tech Industries, a pharmaceutical contract manufacturer and packager of powder products, recently introduced a highspeed bottling line for the production of Rx, OTC, and nutritional ingestible products at its facility in Union, Mo. The bottling line is housed in a new, specially-built ISO 8 Class 100,000 controlled environment designed for non-sterile Rx pharmaceutical-grade oral products. All equipment is of modular, quick-change design to enable minimal downtime between campaigns.
Controlled Environments spoke with Tee Noland, Chairman and CEO of Pharma Tech Industries, about this cleanroom facility addition.
