In the pharmaceutical industry, cleanliness and safety in the production environment are paramount. Every step of the process, from manufacturing to packaging medications, requires high-quality equipment that ensures maximum control of waste particles. In this context, RIBO’s vacuum solutions meet the specific needs of the pharmaceutical sector, offering reliable performance and dedicated design support.

What are the wastes produced in the pharmaceutical sector

During packaging processes, various types of waste, including dust and solid particles, are commonly produced. For instance, during the capping process of bottles, plastic particles are generated due to friction between the cap and the capping head. This fine dust must be properly vacuumed and managed to prevent product contamination and maintain a clean and safe environment.

RIBO vacuum solutions for the pharmaceutical industry

RIBO specializes in developing customized vacuum solutions tailored to the specific challenges of the pharmaceutical industry. We provide turnkey systems that include direct support in machine design. Our solutions are ideal for vacuuming plastic particles and other solid waste, offering customizable features such as remote activation and the positioning of the vacuum inlet.

In this specific case study, the vacuum inlet of our RIBO vacuum cleaner was not mounted directly on the plastic cap capping machine but was instead placed under the conveyor belt transporting filled and capped bottles to the labeling station. This configuration enables efficient vacuuming and provides greater ease of maintenance. The ability to position the vacuum cleaner directly beneath the conveyor belt ensures an effective and convenient suction point.

The features of RIBO VT line vacuum cleaners for plastic particles

The RIBO VT line is specifically designed for removing solid particles, such as the plastic dust generated during the capping process. These industrial vacuums can be equipped with various options, such as a remote start & stop kit, allowing customized activation based on the client’s needs.

Additionally, a stainless steel finish is available, ideal for the pharmaceutical sector as it ensures corrosion resistance and meets required hygiene standards. The VT series vacuum not only ensures a clean environment but also seamlessly integrates into external handling processes for caps and bottles, making the process safer and more efficient.
