The application of vacuum pressure switches in pharmaceutical equipment

In pharmaceutical equipment, vacuum pressure switches play a crucial role. The following is a detailed analysis of their application scenarios from several aspects, including application scenarios, functional requirements, and performance advantages:

Ensure the stable operation of the equipment and the accuracy of the process

In pharmaceutical equipment, vacuum pressure switches can monitor the vacuum degree in real time to ensure that the equipment operates within the preset pressure range. For instance, in the vacuum drying process, the production of drugs needs to be carried out under a specific vacuum degree to effectively remove moisture and reduce the growth of microorganisms, ensuring the safety and efficacy of the drugs. When the vacuum degree fails to reach the set value, the switch can trigger an alarm or adjust the equipment parameters to prevent abnormal pressure from affecting the quality of the medicine. In vacuum concentration equipment, it ensures the stability of the concentration process and product quality by precisely controlling the vacuum degree.

Adapt to the special requirements of pharmaceutical processes

Pharmaceutical processes have strict requirements for equipment. Vacuum pressure switches need to meet the characteristics of high precision, high reliability and corrosion resistance. In processes such as low vacuum recovery of organic solvents and high vacuum distillation of high-boiling-point heat-sensitive materials, the switch can precisely control the pressure to ensure the process effect. Meanwhile, for pharmaceutical water, components such as valves are required to be free from contamination and shedding, and the material must have good chemical inertness to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Vacuum pressure switches are usually made of corrosion-resistant materials and can adapt to corrosive media in pharmaceutical processes, ensuring production safety.

Integrated into the automatic control system

Modern pharmaceutical equipment is trending towards automation. Vacuum pressure switches can be integrated with control systems such as PLC and DCS to achieve remote monitoring and automatic regulation. In an automated pharmaceutical production line, switches can convert pressure signals into electrical signals and transmit them to the control system, enabling real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of pressure. For instance, when the pressure exceeds or falls below the set threshold, the control system can automatically stop or adjust the equipment operation based on the switch signal, thereby enhancing production efficiency and product quality, and reducing manual intervention and errors.

Contribute to the innovation and development of pharmaceutical equipment

With the advancement of pharmaceutical technology, higher requirements have been put forward for vacuum pressure switches. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine production, the innovative microwave vacuum extraction equipment can extract a large amount of materials at one time with high purity. The vacuum pressure switch inside can precisely control the pressure during the extraction process, helping to improve the quality and efficiency of traditional Chinese medicine production. In addition, the pharmaceutical industry has high requirements for the hygiene of equipment. Vacuum pressure switches are designed and produced with a focus on meeting hygiene standards to prevent contamination of drugs and promote the development of pharmaceutical equipment towards greater efficiency and safety.
