Today the world is recovering from the global pandemic, and we can proudly say that the pharmaceutical industry has reacted quickly and responsibly. But when it comes to maintaining the quality of the final product during mass productions, pharmaceutical manufacturers should optimize their process system, especially those which are most responsible for maintaining a reliable, safe, and optimum utilization – Eg. Steam traps.

A steam trap's most important job is to quickly discharge condensate (that has formed in steam distribution lines, steam tracers, steam-using equipment) along with the subsequent risk of microbiological growth and corrosion contamination. Pharma processes demands high levels of sterility to avoid fermenters or bioreactors, and end products must be well sanitized, safe, and free from any unwanted bacteria growth.

Cleanliness and hygiene are non-negotiable factors within the pharmaceutical industry. Our products are in full compliance with the sector’s strict and demanding regulations and stand out thanks to their long service life.

Then how should pharmaceutical manufacturers ensure a reliable, safe, and optimum utilization?

1. Ensure correct steam grade as per process depending on whether there is direct or indirect contact with the product.
2. Know the exact process demands.
3. Select the trap type as per the application.
4. Select hygienic and corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel steam traps and accessories only.
5. Choose fully self-draining steam traps to prevent bacterial and viral growth and corrosion contamination.
6. Prefer steam traps that are designed to provide the best steam quality that fulfills the requirements as per the FDA (Food & Drug Administration), USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and EN 285 (European standard), and other necessary certifications.
7. Prefer steam traps that can be maintained quickly and easily, with minimal process haul.
8. Prefer steam traps with full material traceability/validation.

 The pharma industry has a top priority to process safety, hence placing very high demands for the top quality steam accessories used in the production of pharmaceutical products.
