When hygiene matters.
robatherm readies a pharmaceutical company for the future. Impeccable air hygiene is the absolute priority in pharmaceutical production. In an exemplary manner, robatherm demonstrates how an air handling unit, which weighs several tons, can be easily put into operation. Even the transport itself was impressive: With its length of almost 15 meters, the unit started its journey from robatherm in Burgau to the customer‘s site in Illertissen. Thanks to skilled preparation and precise execution, everything went according to plan.
R-Pharm Germany GmbH knew precisely what to expect from robatherm – namely reliable quality and professionalism. After all, several of our innovative air handling units already provide room air of the highest purity there. A factor that is simply indispensable, especially on the pharmaceutical industry‘s sensitive terrain. R-Pharm has been developing and producing pharmaceuticals for the global market in Illertissen for years. Moreover, the modern, tradition-rich company invests widely at its Bavarian site to consistently expand vaccine production in Germany. And, of course, the highly technical and automated production rooms require particularly sophisticated air handling units. In other words, a classic order for robatherm.
Delivery of Impressive Dimension.
A day in May. Heavily clouded sky, intermittent rainfall. In the early morning hours, the loaded truck began to move. Its gigantic freight: A pre-installed AHU to be delivered from the robatherm site directly to the customer. The route from Burgau to Illertissen was via the A8 and A7 autobahns. Of course, the sometimes adverse weather conditions needed to be anticipated and considered during preparation. Correspondingly, all openings of the air handling unit were meticulously sealed before transport to prevent any ingress of moisture or dirt. Finally, some 60 kilometers [37 miles] of driving and a few rain showers later, man and machine arrived at their destination at R-Pharm. At last, the first rays of sunlight appeared, a good omen that may have additionally motivated all participants. The new 600-ton crane, which was standing by, was now free to work its magic. This was only the second time it had been used. With the support of all the experts on-site, the crane mastered the difficult task perfectly. The valuable colossus was placed accurately on the building by the truck according to plan with exemplary precision.
Complex Air Hygiene from a Single Source.
Precisely positioned and quickly ready for use: The background for this fast start lies in the sophisticated basic concept. The new air handling unit was to ensure maximum hygiene requirements and be delivered to R-Pharm ready for connection. Thus, time-consuming on-site assembly was avoided. The result is a clean plug-and-play variant, so to speak, in which all integrated components were already fitted and pre-installed at robatherm. Thus, the smartly designed complete solution is a complex and elegant compact unit. Furthermore, this unit combines all relevant elements: Cooling technology and the prepared control technology are accommodated next to humidification technology and hydraulic monitoring groups. Thus, this is a solution offering maximum air hygiene from a single source. The advantage is obvious: Time-consuming coordination or problems caused by different interfaces could be conveniently bypassed in this way.
Sophisticated Technologies, Intelligently Combined.
As a characteristic of robatherm, the supplied air handling unit optimally combines necessary functions with innovative efficiency. In addition to integrated steam humidification, a high-performance closed-loop system ensures efficient heat recovery. Furthermore, to meet the exceptionally high demands on the purity of room air in the pharmaceutical sector, the air handling unit for R-Pharm was equipped with a multi-stage filter system for supply and exhaust air: A HEPA filter wall with H13 filters was integrated behind an ISO ePM 1 to 85% class filter. A highly effective combination that filters at least 99.9 % of all dust particles over 0.1 to 0.3 micrometers in size from the air – thus, ensuring the best production conditions for R-Pharm.
Purest Indoor Air with Foresight.
The certificate is an essential, yet not the only component of our hygiene demands. The antimicrobial coating in robatherm products, for example, offers highly effective protection. An innovative development that effectively and permanently prevents the formation of a dangerous biofilm inside the equipment. Be it molds or multi-resistant germs, an independently conducted long-term study has shown that no microorganisms can be found on the special coating, even after 10 years after operation. Thus, robatherm underscores that advanced and long-lasting hygiene technologies are part of our company‘s identity. An attribute that R-Pharm also appreciates.
