Customer Credentials
A leading pharmaceutical equipment manufacturer specializing in automated isolators for sterile
product handling. Their reputation depends on ensuring contamination-free environments and
precision-controlled airflow.
Their Situation
The company’s automated rapid transfer ports, driven by a motor, faced airflow disruption. The
motor’s position created turbulence, leading to uneven airflow distribution, posing contamination
risks within the isolator’s basket area.
Implications
- Risk of contamination due to improper airflow control.
- Increased rework and compliance concerns.
- Inefficiencies in material transfer, affecting production time.
Solutions Implemented by MNES
The Outcome
MNES conducted a CFD analysis using to study the airflow patterns and velocity distribution. Based on our recommendations, the company:
- Optimized motor positioning to prevent turbulence.
- Implemented a separate mount for the motor.
- Reduced motor size for improved airflow efficiency.
These changes led to better contamination control, ensuring compliance and improved operational efficiency.
