What we see

In the pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing sectors, precision and purity are paramount. These industries rely on a multitude of processes to create essential products, from pharmaceutical precursors to medical components. Throughout these intricate processes, filtration plays a vital role in ensuring the highest product quality and equipment efficiency. However, over time contaminants can embed themselves in filter media, potentially jeopardizing the integrity of these critical components. Effective cleaning of filter elements is essential to maintain product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

Manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and medical industry face stringent quality control requirements to produce safe and effective products. Whether crafting pharmaceutical precursors, medical components, or other essential products, these processes necessitate reliable filtration systems. For liquid filtration medical applications, these companies utilize porous metal or sintered metal cartridges to remove debris and contaminants in the filter stream. In the production of medical tubing or film, companies often utilize porous metal and fiber metal leaf disc and candle filtration. These filter elements are typically constructed using porous metal or sintered metal media, and they are sourced from reputable manufacturers including, but not limited to, Pall, Mott, Parker, Hengko, and Millipore.

What we do

In the pharmaceutical and medical industry, precision and purity are non-negotiable. From removal of catalyst fines to pre-extrusion filtration of polymer raw materials, metal filter elements play a crucial role in ensuring the integrity of these products by removing contaminants and maintaining process efficiency. Our comprehensive range of cleaning technologies is tailored to address the specific challenges posed by pharmaceutical and medical filtration systems.

When developing a cleaning profile for these applications, we consider a range of factors. Our cleaning processes are not limited to the removal of surface contaminants but also focus on the effective removal of deeply embedded organic and inorganic contaminants from filter media. This attention to detail is essential to ensure that filters perform optimally, reducing the risk of elevated starting pressures and extending filter lifespans. Carolina Filters employs a variety of physical and chemical methods designed specifically for these applications, safeguarding product quality and patient safety.

Our track record in the pharmaceutical and medical industry includes successful collaborations with manufacturers facing filtration-related challenges. For instance, a large US manufacturer of PEBAX medical tubing was experiencing issues with the filtration of its raw material polymers. Through our custom designed cleaning process targeting their degraded polyimide contaminant, we were able to return the elements to like new condition, eliminating the risk of contaminated products.

Ensuring the cleanliness and integrity of filter elements is a top priority for Carolina Filters. Our suite of testing methods guarantees that filters and components remain effective and eliminates the risk of product contamination and reduced equipment functionality.

"Throughout my career at Carolina Filters, our unwavering commitment to new and cutting edge technology has established us as the world's leader in metallic filter cleaning and testing."
