Air & Vacuum for the Pharma, Medical & Healthcare Sector
A high-volume formulations and packing operation runs vacuum across drying, transfer and blister lines — all of it inside a GMP envelope that demands oil-free machines.
CTXWhat this sector runs
Formulation lines draw vacuum for granulation drying, powder and liquid transfer, and filtration, while the packing floor pulls vacuum on blister and strip machines to form and seal. Every one of these sits in a validated zone, so the vacuum has to be contamination-free — the reason dry pumps dominate pharma over oil-sealed types.
Utilities add clean process air and, downstream, effluent aeration. The recommended way to read such a plant is a bank of oil-free dry vacuum for process and packing, supported by turbine air for aeration — kept firmly separate to protect the validated side.

ENGEngineering notes
Blister vacuum at the web
Blister forming and sealing draw vacuum right at the pack web, where any oil carry-over would contaminate the primary pack. The duty is oil-free and repeatable across every forming station, and it is sized to the machine's speed. A dry YBDVP source removes the contamination mechanism and holds forming vacuum steady at line rate, which is why it is the recommended class for blister and strip packing rather than any oil-sealed alternative.
Zoning the vacuum plant
High-volume formulations run many lines, and a single shared vacuum system means one fault can pull down several. Zoning the plant — dedicated pumps per line or per header — isolates faults and lets a service on one line proceed without stopping others. Sizing each zone to its own peak draw, and standardising on the dry YBDVP class across zones, keeps spares common while protecting the whole floor from a single point of failure.
Stability protects the batch
In volume pharma the cost of a vacuum failure is a batch, so the specification prizes stability and supply security over headline performance. Oil-free construction keeps the vacuum inside the validated envelope, zoning the plant isolates a fault to one line, and a dependable domestic manufacturer keeps supply-driven substitutions — and the re-validation they trigger — rare. Sizing each zone to its own peak draw with margin means a busy line never outruns its vacuum. For a maker running many lines hard, choosing a vacuum family for stability of supply and cleanliness, as much as for its duty match, is what protects both the batch and the schedule.

FAQFrequently asked questions
What vacuum forms and seals a blister pack?
Oil-free vacuum drawn at the forming and sealing stations. Because the pack holds product, the recommended class is a dry YBDVP pump so no oil can reach the blister web.
Should packing and process vacuum share a pump?
They can share a class but are usually zoned so a fault on one line does not pull down another. The recommendation is dedicated dry YBDVP pumps sized per line or per header.
