When selecting a liquid mixing tank for the processing of pharmaceutical raw materials, several key factors need to be considered to ensure the appropriate equipment meets the requirements of the pharmaceutical process:
1. Material Selection
Corrosion Resistance: The corrosion resistance of the selected material should be considered first, as various chemicals, including acids, bases, and organic solvents, may be used in drug manufacturing. Materials such as 316L stainless steel, glass, or special plastics (like polypropylene) are generally recommended for their corrosion resistance.
Chemical Inertness: The material should have good chemical inertness to prevent any impact on the pharmaceutical raw materials.
2. Capacity and Size
Appropriate Capacity: Choose a suitable capacity based on the processing volume of each batch of pharmaceutical raw materials. Generally, the capacity of liquid mixing tanks can range from a few liters to several hundred liters, and the specific choice should be determined based on actual needs.
Space Adaptability: Ensure that the selected liquid mixing tank can be operated and stored safely and effectively within the laboratory or production site.
3. Design Features
Stirring and Mixing Functionality: If mixing and stirring operations are required within the liquid mixing tank, choose equipment with corresponding functions, such as tanks equipped with stirrers or magnetic stirrers.
Sealing Performance: For some pharmaceutical raw materials that need to maintain sterile conditions or be protected from light, ensure that the liquid mixing tank has good sealing performance.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance
Ease of Cleaning: Choose a design that is easy to clean and disinfect so that effective cleaning operations can be performed before and after each use.
Maintenance Requirements: Consider the maintenance needs of the equipment and ease of operation to ensure long-term stable use.
5. Compliance and Safety
Regulatory Compliance: The liquid mixing tank should comply with relevant pharmaceutical industry regulations and standards, such as FDA and GMP requirements, to ensure compliance and safety in drug production.
6. Cost and Supplier Selection
Cost-Effectiveness: Consider the balance between the price and performance of the equipment, selecting a liquid mixing tank that fits within budget.
Supplier Reputation: Choose reputable suppliers or manufacturers to ensure reliable equipment quality and comprehensive after-sales service.
