Horizontal Pure Steam Boiler for Drug Manufacturing
Product Overview
Our horizontal pure steam boiler for drug manufacturing delivers high‑purity steam that meets the strict sterility and quality requirements of pharmaceutical processes. Designed with a fully welded stainless‑steel pressure vessel and a low‑profile horizontal layout, the boiler integrates seamlessly into clean‑room environments, providing consistent steam at pressures up to 4 MPa and temperatures up to 210 °C. The system is engineered for continuous duty cycles, ensuring uninterrupted operation for aseptic filling, sterilization, and extraction lines.
Each unit is delivered with a modular control panel, quick‑connect sanitary piping, and optional PLC integration, allowing you to meet GMP documentation and validation protocols without additional engineering effort.
Industry Certifications & Safety
- Compliant with cGMP, USP <33, and EU GMP Annex 15 requirements.
- Fabricated from 304L/316L stainless steel, meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 211 and ISO 13485 material standards.
- Pressure vessel certified by ASME Section III for high‑integrity steam generation.
- Electrical components conform to IEC 61508 SIL‑2 safety integrity level.
- Built‑in alarm and shutdown logic for over‑pressure, low‑water, and temperature excursions.
Application Scenarios
The horizontal pure steam boiler for drug manufacturing is suited for a range of critical pharma operations:
- Aseptic Filling Lines: Provides sterile steam for equipment sterilization and in‑process drying.
- Vaccine Production: Supports high‑temperature sterilization of bioreactors and downstream processing vessels.
- Tablet & Capsule Coating: Supplies uniform steam for drying and moisture control.
- Solvent Recovery: Generates low‑contamination steam for distillation and extraction units.
The horizontal configuration minimizes floor space usage and enables easy integration under existing pipelines, which is especially valuable in retro‑fits of GMP‑certified facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for a custom‑spec boiler?
Our production line is designed for flexibility; the MOQ is one unit for standard models and three units for fully customized configurations. This allows pharmaceutical firms of any size to procure a solution that matches their exact capacity and compliance needs.
Can the boiler be adapted to specific GMP validation protocols?
Yes. We provide optional validation kits that include calibrated temperature/pressure sensors, data‑logging modules, and full documentation packages (IQ/OQ/PQ) aligned with FDA and EU GMP guidelines. All hardware is fabricated from hygienic‑grade stainless steel to meet USP <33 requirements.
What is the typical lead time from order to shipment?
Standard models are shipped within 15–30 days after receipt of a purchase order and engineering drawing approval. Custom configurations, including special fuel options or extended control logic, require 30–45 days depending on complexity.
What warranty and after‑sales support are provided?
All units come with a 24‑month comprehensive warranty covering parts and labor. Our technical service team operates 24 h/7 d support for critical shutdowns, and we offer on‑site training and spare‑parts logistics to keep your plant running without interruption.
