The pharmaceutical industry utilizes a wide range of automated equipment for production of medicinal drugs, some of which include: packaging machines, mixing equipment, capsule and vial filling machines, tablet presses, conveyors and more.
To maximize equipment efficiency plastics and composites are often used for bearing and wear and structural applications over traditional materials like metal, aluminum and bronze. Plastics and composites offer a wide range of desirable properties that reduce downtime and increase production efficiency, including: self-lubricating, low friction, chemical and corrosion resistant, lighter weight, better wear properties, high strength and noise abatement properties. For enhanced product safety Metal detectable and X-Ray detectable grades are available for processes that utilize metal or x-ray detection equipment.
To find out how detectable Metal & X-Ray detectable plastics are, go to our Metal & X-Ray Detectability Page, watch our technical video and download our free white paper on this topic. Learn More
Since 1984 we have worked closely with Research & Development, Engineering, Maintenance & Supply Chain personnel at automation OEMs and the pharmaceutical plant level to help reduce operating costs and downtime with our materials, parts & services.
Over the years, we have built a multimillion dollar inventory of high performance plastic and composite sheet, rod and tube and an ISO certified precision machine shop to support our clients with the most challenging requirements. In addition, we offer injection molding for higher part volume requirements. All inventoried materials are available with cut to size and same day shipping service.
For clients that have ongoing part requirements we offer just-in-time (JIT) delivery with our customer inventory services.
We also specialize in technical services that include material selection by application, improved part design assistance, onsite consultation and more. We stand ready to put our 500 years of combined experience and services to work for you.
As an alternative to onsite consultation we offer our TelePlastics™ remote support service. This is a safe and secure remote solution, for the diagnosis and recommendation of plastic solutions, by our experienced Technical Service staff, utilizing the latest in telecommunication technology.
