Air & Vacuum for the Pharma, Medical & Healthcare Sector
Formulation manufacturing threads vacuum through granulation, drying and packing — and the GMP environment makes oil-free the only acceptable vacuum source.

REQTypical duty requirements
Vacuum & air on a formulation plant
| Process | Requirement | Recommended class |
|---|---|---|
| Granulation / vacuum drying | Oil-free vacuum | Dry vacuum pump |
| Inter-vessel transfer | Clean vacuum | Dry vacuum pump |
| Packing form / seal | Sealing vacuum | Dry vacuum pump |
| Effluent aeration | Low-pressure air | Single-stage turbine |
CTXWhat this sector runs
The process floor draws vacuum for granulation and vacuum drying, for transferring powders between vessels, and for filtration. Downstream, packing lines pull vacuum to form and seal. Since each of these touches validated product zones, the vacuum has to be free of oil and vapour carry-over — the defining pharma requirement.
Cleanroom HVAC and fluid-bed operations add clean process air, and the site effluent plant needs aeration. Reading the plant as oil-free process-and-packing vacuum supported by clean utility air is the recommended structure, with the two systems kept apart.

ENGEngineering notes
Why oil-free is the default
Formulation vacuum reaches product-contact zones during granulation drying, transfer and filtration, so the vacuum source cannot introduce oil or vapour. That single requirement makes dry pumps the default rather than the exception in formulations. Specifying the process depth and continuity, and selecting the oil-free YBDVP class, keeps the vacuum source inside the compliance boundary — and a dependable domestic supply keeps machine changes, and the re-validation they trigger, to a minimum.
Keeping utility air apart
Cleanroom HVAC and fluid-bed operations need clean process air, and the discipline is to keep any oily source well away from those duties. Utility air is handled on its own machines, separate from the process-vacuum system, so nothing can cross into validated zones. Reading the plant as oil-free process vacuum plus independent clean air — rather than one blurred system — is what keeps a formulation plant's air both compliant and correctly sized duty by duty.
Fewer changes, fewer revalidations
In a formulation plant every change to a validated system can trigger re-qualification, so the vacuum source is worth keeping stable. Oil-free construction keeps it inside the compliance boundary, and a dependable domestic manufacturer building the same dry pumps under one quality system keeps supply-driven substitutions rare. The practical benefit is fewer change-control events over a machine's life and a predictable spares path when overhaul is due. For a formulation maker, choosing a vacuum family for stability of supply as much as for its duty match is part of protecting the validated state that the whole plant is built around.
Eris Lifesciences is a valued customer of Yash Blowers. Product recommendations on this page describe our standard solutions for the pharmaceutical & medical sector, not that company's specific installations.
WHYWhy Yash Blowers
For a formulation maker, the vacuum source is inside the compliance boundary, so an oil-free machine from a stable domestic manufacturer lowers validation and supply risk together. Yash Blowers has built dry pumps in Faridabad since 1998 under ISO 9001:2015, casts its own impellers, and dispatches 300+ machines a day.

FAQFrequently asked questions
Why is oil-free vacuum standard in formulations?
Because process vacuum reaches product-contact zones. Oil-sealed pumps carry an oil-migration risk that a GMP process cannot accept, so the recommended source is the oil-free YBDVP class.
What air do fluid-bed and cleanroom duties need?
Clean process air, kept separate from any oily source. These are utility-air duties handled apart from the process-vacuum system so nothing crosses into validated zones.
