Harmful dust in the pharmaceutical industry
Manufacturing and distribution of pharmaceutical products such as drugs, vitamins, minerals or herbs involve a wide range of processes that can generate harmful dust.
Pharmaceutical dust can present multiple unique challenges. People working in close proximity to the products can be exposed to harmful particles that can severely damage their health. There are also certain chemical hazards involved in manufacturing and distributing pharmaceutical products. This is a growing industry with an ongoing demand for appropriate dust control tools and PPE equipment.
Some substances, such as steroids, hormones or narcotics may pose a risk if they escape into the atmosphere. Pharmaceutical dust exposure to staff may cause health issues such as respiratory illness, skin reactions and other physiological conditions.
Furthermore, many substances, including cellulose, corn-starch, dextrin, lactose and other organic ingredients are highly explosive. In addition, cross-contamination of dust with other materials can impact product quality and safety.
The Mideco solution
Mideco’s range of dust collectors easily takes care of dust released throughout the production stage, while Burnley® Baffles, customisable for any size hopper, can substantially reduce dust emissions during any type of dry granular pharmaceutical product unloading.
Our Bat Booth® can be useful at any pharmaceutical plant as it reduces the overall dust exposure during production and packaging by extracting dust from staff’s clothing.
Mideco’s industrial dust collection solutions can be customised to fit any existing operations or systems.
