Main Challenges in the Pharma & MedTech Industry


Material Compatibility and Regulation Compliance

Seals must be crafted from materials compatible with various chemicals and biological substances, including aggressive solvents and high-temperature sterilization processes exceeding 121°C. Meeting stringent regulations, such as FDA and USP standards, is essential; non-compliance can result in product recalls and penalties, highlighting the importance of using reliable, certified materials in seal manufacturing.


Avoiding contamination


In the Pharma and Medical industry all components in contact with products are inert and free from contaminants like phthalates, plus being easy to clean in the process ensuring no risk to product quality. Strict hygiene measure required such as CIP and SIP can also be rough in the material used in productions, for instance seal. 


Avoiding production stand still


Production standstills in the Pharma and Medical Industry are often caused by equipment failures, poor maintenance, or mechanical breakdowns. Other causes include supply chain disruptions, ingredient shortages, and manual errors. Hygiene issues or regulatory non-compliance can lead to temporary shutdowns, while inefficient process management and lack of automation also contribute to downtime, impacting overall productivity and product quality


Vibration Control in MedTech devises

Medical devices like imaging and diagnostic equipment rely on vibration control solutions to ensure accuracy, long-term reliability, and patient safety. Wear-resistant, vibration-dampening materials are essential, meeting strict safety standards to prevent degradation and support optimal device performance and patient comfort.
