Pharmaceutical manufacturer achieves high capacity production of APIs with Russell Finex hygienic screening solutions

Sri Krishna Pharmaceuticals, known informally as Sri Krishna Pharma, is an established manufacturer of pharmaceutical products such as acetaminophen (paracetamol), folic acid, domperidone and furosemide, supplying more than 150 niche drugs to the Asian pharmaceutical market, as well as Europe and the US.

When expanding production at one of their facilities to include the manufacturing of paracetamol, the company sought a vibrating screen suitable for processing of pharmaceutical powders.

Having previously supplied the company with high performance screening machines, Sri Krishna Pharma approached Russell Finex for a solution.

With more than 80 years of experience supplying pharmaceutical solutions to global customers including Pfizer, GSK, Wyeth and Sanofi-Aventis, Russell Finex analysed Sri Krishna Pharma’s unique requirements and supplied three 900 mm diameter Russell Compact Sieves with Vibrasonic Deblinding Systems.

The Russell Compact Sieve is a high capacity check-screener, capable of achieving higher throughput rates compared to conventional machines.

The enclosed system is ideal for the pharmaceutical industry as it provides total containment, protecting operators from any harmful dusts or fumes.

High-quality stainless-steel contact parts enable easy cleaning and the unit can be easily dismantled and assembled without the need for tools.

Due to the nature of API’s, mesh blinding can often be experienced when sieving these pharmaceutical powders. Fitting the Russell Compact Sieve with the Vibrasonic Deblinding System ensures these powders can be screened on finer meshes without compromising flow rates.
