Pneumatic Conveying Systems for the Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Industry
At Cleantek, we specialize in designing and manufacturing pneumatic conveying systems specifically tailored for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical food supplement sectors. Our systems are built entirely from AISI 316L stainless steel with a mechanical polishing treatment that ensures an ultra-smooth surface finish with roughness down to 0.02 Ra. This makes them ideal for handling single-component powders, blended materials, and lightweight products such as pharma capsules, while ensuring the highest levels of hygiene and compliance.
Why Pneumatic Conveying in Pharmaceuticals?
Pneumatic conveying represents the core of bulk material handling systems in the pharmaceutical industry. By using controlled airflow, powders and granules are transported safely and efficiently through pipelines, minimizing contamination and material loss. This technology is particularly effective in:
Feeding compression, bagging, capsulation, and blistering machines
Transporting powders, granules, and pharma capsules
Maintaining continuous and contamination-free operations
Unlike manual handling or mechanical transport, pneumatic conveying eliminates clogging and dust exposure, creating a safer and cleaner working environment.
Meeting Stringent Pharmaceutical Standards
The pharmaceutical industry demands precision, hygiene, and reliability in every production stage. From tableting to blister packaging, any contamination or inconsistency can cause serious risks.
Our pneumatic conveyors are designed with these standards
Cross-contamination prevention – stainless steel construction and polished surfaces maintain purity.
Production continuity – reducing downtime that could cause stock shortages or costly delays.
Compatibility with multiple machines – blister packaging machines, tableting machines, capsule filling machines, mixers, reactors, compactors, and tablet presses.
By automating the transfer of powders and active ingredients, our systems minimize manual intervention, ensuring consistent dosing, higher safety, and compliance with international regulations.
