Responsible for curing and enhancing human health, pharmaceutical products are sought worldwide and this mandates the industry to be strictly regulated. Considering that India secures 3rd position in pharmaceutical production globally, the need to comply with the highest industry standards becomes a prerequisite more than ever.

The country emerges as the prominent supplier in the global pharmaceutical market, where India fulfills the demand for 50% of various vaccines globally along with meeting 40% of generic demand in the US and 25% of all medicine requirements in the UK. As a result, a great responsibility is vested on the manufacturers to deploy dry compressed air throughout the manufacturing till the packaging to produce quality drugs and medicine suitable for the international as well as domestic market. This becomes necessary as even the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues directions to the pharma companies to adopt uncontaminated compressed air for rendering high-quality end products.

Therefore, to maintain the supreme quality of pharmaceutical products, quality compressed air finds irreplaceable application in the entire processing, manufacturing, and packaging of pharmaceutical products. All the intricate operations involving pneumatic processes like tablets and capsule manufacturing; giving the required texture, color, and flavor to the tablet; maintaining the right balance of the ingredients; protecting the products from contamination, etc. require compressed air at every step to produce high-quality end products meeting the highest industry standards.
