In the valve industry, pharmaceutical valve production technology requirements are very high, but also very strict. However, with the increasing demand of the pharmaceutical industry and the increasing demand for valves, valves have been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as a basis. So, in today’s pharmaceutical industry, what kind of valve can be applied to the pharmaceutical industry?
In general, the valve material choice is not very wide, in most cases, the Austenitic stainless steel is a more widely used material, can be applied to the pharmaceutical industry.
But in the pharmaceutical industry clean pipeline system, the valve also has the special request, must avoid the backwater as far as possible to produce. “among the many valves, the diaphragm valve is the most commonly used. Due to its special design, 100% of the medium in the pipeline will not contact with other pipe fittings outside the gasket, achieving a good clean environment, ” valve experts said.
Therefore, in the pharmaceutical industry, the diaphragm valve is widely used. But need to remind is, in the diaphragm valve installation process also take into account the self-discharge function of the valve, that is to ensure a certain valve installation angle.
In addition, the slice type ball valve is also a common valve in the pharmaceutical industry. Although the cost and pressure of disc ball valves are higher than normal, the inner wall of the valve body is clean. According to experts, all-inclusive, non-corner three-piece ball valve is also the darling of the pharmaceutical industry.
The ball valve without stagnation is also suitable for the pharmaceutical industry. No stagnation ball valve is no dead angle ball valve, smooth inner wall, no residues can hide in the body, and without every discharge, no bacteria breeding, such advantages make it an indispensable device in the pharmaceutical industry.
At present, the advanced valves can meet the biological pharmaceutical, food and other fields of the special requirements of various media. Some valves are smooth, seamless, automatic emptying of manual fluid channels, also suitable for on-site cleaning needs. These valves are manufactured in strict accordance with FDA requirements for quality control, and computer-based three-dimensional design.
However, as in other equipment fields, the valve industry also faces some difficulties. Solve these problems as soon as possible in order to make the valve more suitable for the pharmaceutical industry. For example: First, R & D is chronically underfunded. Lack of research funds and research and development funds has become an important factor restricting the independent research and development of valve enterprises.
Second, the ability of independent innovation is weak. Although most of the products in the water pump manufacturing industry in China have been basically self-produced, the domestic enterprises mostly undertake the low-end processing of the products, and the breadth and depth of self-produced need to be improved.
Third, the lack of industry generic technology research. The technology supporting function of valve industry is weakening day by day, the development speed of new technology and new process is slow, and the standards of design, process, material and manufacture are difficult to dock with foreign countries.
Fourth, the customer purchase intention is not high. Although some domestic high-end valve products have a higher level of technology, but some customers prefer to choose foreign technology and equipment, which also increases the difficulty of domestic valves to break through the difficulties.
With the development of high-end pharmaceutical equipment, the valve industry, as an important part of the industry, has great room for growth and is undergoing transformation and upgrading to achieve greater development.
The development of general basic manufacturing industry will be further supported as the policy of revitalizing pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing industry is advanced. At the same time, the domestic process of high-end valves will continue to accelerate. In this regard, relevant enterprises should improve the lack of strengthening the valve technology innovation, so that the valve better serve the pharmaceutical industry.
