Nowhere is air filtration more important than in healthcare and pharmaceutical facilities. If you work in any sort of healthcare or pharmaceutical facility, you understand that the level of airborne infectious contaminants increases proportionately with the increased population density of infected individuals. But, we know these concerns are not limited to hospitals.
Two concerns are critical when handling pharmaceutical dusts: Personnel exposure to potent, toxic or allergenic dusts, and the explosion properties of the dusts. We’d like to share with you our expertise in the life science, healthcare and pharma industries to help you find the best solution for your very sensitive industry.

Productie & machinebouw Food and beverage Life science & gezondheidszorg Energie & Power SystemsVaak is de eerste aankoopprijs voor luchtfilters of stofafzuigers slechts het topje van de ijsberg. De werkelijke kosten voor energie, onderhoud en afvalverwijdering liggen onder het oppervlak. Om op lange termijn de meest economische beslissing te nemen, zal een gedetailleerde berekening van alle factoren helpen om uw totale uitgaven te beperken.
Productie & machinebouw Commerciële en openbare gebouwen Elektronica & optica Food and beverage Normen en richtlijnen Life science & gezondheidszorg DuurzaamheidDust collectors are necessary safety systems in many manufacturing and processing plants, thus as in the food processing industry. But if they are not designed, installed and maintained properly, these systems themselves can cause serious problems. In this eBook we highlight 10 ways how to make sure your dust collection system is up to the tasks of keeping workers safe, maximising production uptime and meeting regulatory compliance.
Almost all industrial manufacturing, processing or packaging applications generate dust as a side effect. Many of these dusts are both combustible as well as explosive, and removing them from the work place can significantly reduce the risk of serious accidents. It is estimated that there are approximately 2,000 dust explosions in Europe annually. Most of these are minor but some are very destructive. So by extracting the dust, the risk in the production is reduced, but unless the extraction system is safe the risk is just moved.
Bij de aanschaf van ontstoffingssystemen en filterpatronen is de initiële aanschafprijs slechts het topje van de ijsberg. De echte kosten - energie, verbruiksartikelen en operationele kosten - liggen onder het oppervlak. Het goede nieuws is dat er manieren zijn om deze kosten op de lange termijn te verlagen.
Processen in productiefaciliteiten genereren vaak stof en dampen die bijvoorbeeld gezondheidsrisico's kunnen opleveren voor uw operators of de kwaliteit en veiligheid van uw producten in gevaar kunnen brengen. Het bepalen van de juiste afvang- en filtratieoplossing helpt bij het beschermen tegen de belangrijkste risico's van ongecontroleerde emissies en dus bij het creëren van veilige werkomgevingen.
HemiPleat is, in het kort, de unieke, gepatenteerde media plooitechnologie die Camfil gebruikt om zeer efficiënte filterpatronen te maken die langer meegaan en beter presteren dan alternatieven van de concurrentie.
Ontstoffingsinstallaties vormen een belangrijk onderdeel van elk productieproces en moeten daarom de juiste afmetingen en het juiste ontwerp hebben. Een cruciaal onderdeel van het ontwerp is het specificeren van de juiste filtermedia, waarvoor een analyse van het stof in het proces en van alle bedrijfsomstandigheden nodig is.
CleanSeal Exhaust Integrity is de volgende generatie HEPA-afzuigbehuizingen voor gevoelige processen. Deze premium serie is ontworpen voor een veilige werking met kritische of gevaarlijke stoffen. Voldoet aan ISO14644 testen en stelt u in staat om eenvoudig aerosol te injecteren samen met in situ filtervalidatiescan.
Orale vaste doseringsproducten (OSD) zoals tabletten, pillen of capsules bevatten actieve farmaceutische ingrediënten. Deze API's veroorzaken zeer fijn stof en vaak hoge concentraties oplosmiddelen tijdens de verwerking en productie van het product. Om de gezondheid van werknemers te beschermen en kruisbesmetting van producten te voorkomen, is een effectieve filtratie in combinatie met opvangoplossingen vereist.
Dealing with airborne odours, toxins and gases can be a big challenge. Learn about how Molecular Contamination Control and how it can protect against the harmful effects of these airborne contaminants.
CamCarb VG modules with loose-fill media are robust solutions suited for make-up air (outdoor air) and recirculation air systems. The primary use is the control of acidic gases that are responsible for the corrosion of electronics and electrical equipment in heavy process industries such as pulp and paper mills, petrochemical refineries, mining and metal refining operations, and wastewater treatment plants.
the technical service department at Deventer hospital received complaints several times a year about unwanted diesel odours in different parts of the hospital building. Headaches was one the key problem among the laboratory staff. In operating rooms, the problem was significant because the air is circulated directly from the exhaust vent onto the operating table.
Clean air plays an imperative role in the life science, healthcare and pharmaceutical process chain. Many studies have inferred that in moderate levels of air pollution the damage to human health is irreversible. In the life science industry where biological life or living organisms are at play, it is vital to maintain utmost hygiene along with superior indoor air quality. Camfil’s high-efficiency air filtration solutions are used by many global life science industry specialists in cleanrooms, production areas, and laboratories, including many global biosafety labs around the world.
Camfil provides a steady supply of respiratory masks to Sweden’s hardest-hit region. We are currently delivering 100,000 respiratory protection masks each week to the local health authorities in Stockholm area. These will be distributed to frontline health workers across the region. In total, we will produce 5 million respiratory protection masks.
In a scientific debate, WHO has acknowledged that in the case of COVID-19, airborne transmission could not be ruled out in crowded, closed or poorly ventilated settings. Scientists across the world are looking for more evidence as it may affect many guidelines in the crowded indoor environment.

Every business depends on its surrounding environment and understanding the needs truly depends on identifying the problems. One fact that will remain unchanged even after the COVID-19 pandemic storm settles is that 'air travels'. It is important to highlight the potential risks surrounding the business such as air pollution.

Case Study: Camtain Contains Explosive Pharma Dust. A multinational pharmaceutical company needed a dust extraction system for their new tableting suite in Spain. The suite comprised of six rooms, each with its own tablet machine that created explosive dusts.
Starting the In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) process can be an exciting and nerve-wracking experience for anyone needing help in conceiving a child.
As a place of healing and recovery, hospital air quality is even more important than the air quality at commercial offices and shopping malls. The purpose of a hospital is to return people to good health, and an essential aspect of this process is ensuring that airborne pollutants do not make existing conditions worse.
Some processes are more sensitive than others. If you work in the food and beverage or life science industries, you know how tough the demands on clean air are. To be sure you have the right filter, look for the ProSafe symbol.
