To provide patients with pharmaceuticals of premium quality, Denk Pharma stands for «Quality Made in Germany«. The technology of production machines plays a crucial role in achieving this standard. For this reason, we spoke with L.B. Bohle, a leading provider of machinery for solid pharmaceutical production. In the interview, experts from L.B. Bohle explained the innovative technologies that ensure purity, efficiency, and flexibility in pharmaceutical production.
One of the key aspects of pharmaceutical manufacturing is ensuring purity and freedom from contamination. L.B. Bohle focuses on two main areas: Hygienic Design and Containment.
Hygienic Design emphasizes the complete and easy cleanability of all surfaces and components. Smooth, non-porous materials prevent cross-contamination and microbial growth. Hard-to-clean areas, such as dead spaces, are avoided through easily removable elements, while weld seams and seals must meet high-quality standards.
Another crucial focus is the integration of modern automation technologies, which are particularly essential for continuous manufacturing.
Compared to traditional batch production, continuous manufacturing allows all process steps to occur simultaneously, with materials being processed in a constant flow. This requires intelligent plant control systems that monitor and regulate all process information in real time. L.B. Bohle relies on software-based automation that ensures seamless communication between various components. As a result, production interruptions can be minimized, and deviations corrected immediately – without the need to discard entire batches.
These intelligent, interconnected systems not only enhance efficiency but also ensure reproducible product quality.
High-quality craftsmanship and durability are also essential: L.B. Bohle’s «Made in Germany» machines have been operating reliably worldwide in multi-shift production for over 20 years.
