Case Study: Tradichem achieves cleaner, continuous API miniaturization with Piab vacuum conveying

Tradichem boosts API production 30–50% with Piab

Tradichem, a company specializing in processing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), needed a way to continuously and automatically feed its patented Hipering® process without contaminating the sensitive materials. Their challenge was to maintain a closed system to ensure API purity and stability while enabling quick product changes. Piab addressed this with its piFLOW®p vacuum conveyor.

Piab's piFLOW®p vacuum conveyor provided a closed, automated system that eliminated manual handling and protected APIs from moisture and contamination. The solution ensured a consistent feed to maintain the required pressure for compaction. This resulted in a 30 to 50 percent increase in productivity for Tradichem's customers, along with reduced cleaning times and the ability to conduct rapid, thorough product changes.
