Pharmaceutical & Biotech

GMP-compliant equipment for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Full validation support from development to production scale.

GMP compliant

Equipment designed and documented to meet FDA, EMA, and GMP requirements.

Validation support

Comprehensive IQ/OQ/PQ protocols and validation documentation packages.

Contained processing

Minimize operator exposure and cross-contamination with contained systems.

CIP/SIP ready

Clean-in-place and sterilize-in-place capable for efficient operation.

CEPA pharmaceutical centrifuge

Built for pharmaceutical standards

Pharmaceutical manufacturing requires equipment that meets the highest standards for quality, documentation, and regulatory compliance. Our Swiss and German partners specialize in pharmaceutical-grade equipment with full validation support.

From MAVAG filter-dryers for API production to CEPA centrifuges for cell harvesting, we provide solutions that meet FDA, EMA, and international GMP requirements.

Specific use cases

How our equipment solves real pharmaceutical processing challenges.

API crystallization & isolation

Challenge

Active pharmaceutical ingredients must be isolated from reaction mixtures with high purity and consistent crystal form.

Solution

FUNDA® centrifugal disc filters provide high-throughput filtration with excellent cake washing for API isolation. For combined filtration and drying, MAVAG filter-dryers handle all steps in one contained vessel.

MAVAG FUNDA® filters / MAVAZWAG® filter-dryers

Cell harvesting

Challenge

Fermentation broths contain valuable products mixed with cell debris. Traditional filtration clogs quickly.

Solution

High-speed tubular centrifuges separate cells from broth continuously, without filter media. Ideal for E.coli, yeast, and mammalian cells.

CEPA high-speed centrifuges

Vaccine concentration

Challenge

Virus particles for vaccines are present in low concentrations and must be concentrated without damage.

Solution

Gentle centrifugal separation concentrates viruses while maintaining biological activity. No shear damage from pumps or filtration.

CEPA Z-series centrifuges

Blood fractionation

Challenge

Blood plasma contains multiple valuable proteins that must be separated and purified to pharmaceutical standards.

Solution

High-G centrifuges separate plasma fractions with precision. GMP-compliant designs meet blood product regulations.

CEPA GP centrifuges

Sterile filtration

Challenge

Final products must be sterile. Heat sterilization can damage sensitive biologics.

Solution

CIP/SIP capable centrifuges can be sterilized in place. Closed systems maintain sterility throughout processing.

CEPA GE centrifuges

Contained powder handling

Challenge

Potent APIs require containment to protect operators. Traditional open transfers create exposure risk.

Solution

Filter-dryers with glove ports, continuous liners, and split butterfly valves enable fully contained processing.
