Pharma-line

Product catalog summary

Overview
The Pharma-line is a high-quality shell and tube heat exchanger specifically designed to meet the stringent hygienic requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. It is engineered for easy drainage and cleaning, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination common in conventional heat exchangers. A comprehensive documentation package accompanies the product, with additional custom documentation available upon request.

Applications
The Pharma-line is suitable for applications requiring high hygienic standards, such as Water for Injection (WFI), Purified Water (PW), and the heating/cooling of pharmaceutical products.

Design and Working Principles
The heat exchanger features seamless, electropolished tubes through which the product media flows. The service media flows outside these tubes in a cross-flow arrangement. Double tube sheets act as leakage indicators and prevent cross-contamination. The unit can be installed horizontally or vertically, with built-in lifting and mounting devices for ease of installation. Thermal fatigue is managed by U-bends in two-pass units and welded-in bellows in straight units.

Special Features

Seamless tubes
Double tube sheets to prevent leakage
Completely drainable on the product side
No dead spots in the tubes
Compliance with FDA and cGMP requirements
Design flexibility

Standard Range
A variety of U-tube designed Pharma-line units are available to suit most applications, with specifications provided for different models.

Catalog excerpts

The Pharma-line is a high-quality shell & tube heat exchanger especially developed to meet the high hygienic demands of the pharmaceutical industry. The design of the Pharma-line makes it easy to drain and clean, and there is no risk of cross-contamination associated with conventional heat exchangers. The documentation on a heat exchanger in the pharmaceutical industry is equally important as the hardware so the Pharma-line comes together with a high quality documentation package as standard and most specials are available upon request. Applications The Pharma-line is designed to work under highest hygienic conditions in applications such as WFI, PW and heating/ cooling of pharmaceutical products. Design and working principles The product media flows through a bundle of seamless, electropolished tubes. The service media flows outside the tubes in cross flow. At the end the tubes are fastened by two tube sheets (see Fig. 1) acting as leakage indicators and prevent cross-contamination between the product and the service media. The Pharma-line can be installed either horizontally or vertically depending on the duty or space. For an easy installation, lifting and mounting devices are welded on the unit. Thermal fatigue caused by large temperature changes is taken up by the U-bend in two-pass units and by a welded-in bellow in straight units. Special features • Seamless tubes • Double tube-sheets to protect against service media leaking into the product • Completely drainable on product side • No dead spots in the tubes • Designed according to FDA and cGMP requirements • Flexibility in design Standard range A standard range of U-tube designed Pharma-line that suit most applications is available.
