Pharma-line
Pharma-line is a high-quality shell and tube heat exchanger for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. The leak-proof design and smooth surface finishes help protect against contamination and are ideal for the strictest hygienic conditions in applications such as Water-for-Injection (WFI), heating and cooling, Purified Water (PW) and product heating/cooling. In addition, the shell and tube heat exchanger can be mounted on the floor, wall or ceiling and comply with USP and cGMP requirements.
The right technology for your pharmaceutical water system
- A hygienic design above and beyond ASME BPE
- Comprehensive digital documentation
- Unique features for ease of installation and operation
- Supply chain well experienced in cGMP
- Stocked units for immediate delivery
The Pharma-line shell and tube heat exchanger is designed to operate at pressures up to 15 bar and operating temperatures of 200°C. It is easy to drain and clean and features leakage detection. It is fully drainable on the product side, with no dead spots and has vent and drain possibilities on the utility side. The hygienic tubular heat exchanger also comes with a high-quality documentation package as standard.
Pharma-line shell and tubes range
Pharma-line shell and tube heat exchangers are available in standard and custom-made ranges.
Standard range: Pharma-line S is available in PED and TSG (China) pressure vessel codes. There are 33 pre-defined models with standard comprehensive documentation. Some models are in stock for immediate delivery.
Custom-made range: Pharma-line P is available in PED, TSG (China) and ASME pressure vessel codes.
How it works
The double-tube sheet design of the Pharma-line shell-and-tube heat exchanger eliminates the risk of the product mixing with the service (heating or cooling) medium. The product media flows through a bundle of seamless tubes while the service medium flows in a crossflow around the tubes, inside the shell. In the unlikely event of a leak, either fluid can be easily visually detected.
