Which pumps are used in pharmaceutical manufacturing?

Pharma plants use sanitary-design pumps with electropolished SS316L wetted parts, FDA-compliant elastomers (EPDM, Viton, PTFE), and CIP/SIP capability. Common types: lobe pumps (Viking) for shear-sensitive APIs, AODD pumps (Sandpiper) for solvent transfer, mag-drive chemical pumps (Richter) for corrosive intermediates, and dosing pumps (Dupro) for sterile injection.

Are Target Marketing pumps cGMP compliant?

Yes — for pharma applications, we supply pumps meeting cGMP requirements: SS316L electropolished wetted parts (Ra <0.4 μm), FDA-approved elastomers, USP Class VI biocompatibility, no dead-legs, drainable design, and validated CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) / SIP (Sterilization-In-Place) capability. Documentation includes material certs (3.1B EN10204), surface finish certificates, and validation packages.

What is the difference between sanitary and industrial pumps?

Sanitary pumps (3-A, EHEDG) have polished surfaces (Ra <0.8 μm), tri-clamp connections, drainable design, no crevices, and FDA/USP compliant materials — for hygienic food, dairy, pharma, and biotech service. Industrial pumps prioritize durability and capacity over surface finish — typical for utility, chemical, water, and process duty.

Do you supply pumps for solvent recovery in pharma?

Yes — solvent recovery requires explosion-proof, sealless or zero-leakage pumps. Target Marketing supplies: Sandpiper AODD pumps (inherently spark-free), Richter mag-drive PFA-lined for corrosive solvents like methanol/ethanol/IPA, Viking internal gear pumps (low NPSH for boiling solvents), and Dupro dosing pumps for distillate transfer. ATEX certification provided.

What Makes It Hard

Pumping Challenges in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

cGMP Hygiene Standards

FDA, EHEDG and 3A sterility requirements demand polished SS 316L wetted parts, sanitary connections and fully drainable design.

Solvent Containment

Methanol, acetone, ethanol and chlorinated solvents are flammable and toxic — ATEX-rated zero-leak containment is mandatory.

Precision Dosing

Micro-quantity buffer and excipient injection demands repeatable accuracy down to fractions of a percent.

Applications

Pharmaceutical Plant Pumping Applications

API & Intermediates

Containment of active ingredients with sealless designs.

Solvent Handling

Methanol, acetone, ethanol & chlorinated solvents (ATEX where required).

CIP / SIP Loops

High-temperature cleaning and steam sanitization circuits.

Purified Water (PW)

Hygienic loops with dead-leg-free design.

WFI Distribution

Sanitary multistage circulation in distribution loops.

Reactor Charging

Precise transfer of reaction media to and from reactors.

Hygienic Dosing

Micro-dosing of additives, buffers and excipients.

Solvent Recovery / ETP

Hazardous effluent transfer to ETP & recovery columns.
