Eaton Sanitary Filtration for Pharmaceuticals, Biotech & Cosmetics Featured Articles

Eaton Filtration products are designed to meet the vigorous requirements of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology & cosmetics industries. Customer case studies illustrate how Eaton solutions address the needs that these sanitary processing industries have in common:

• vigorous testing standards
• precisely defined quality requirements
• wide range of regulations

Eaton filtration systems and equipment address the sterilization and purity priorities of these applications.

Eaton’s BECO depth filter sheets, BECODISC stacked disc cartridges, and BECO filter cartridges are widely known in industries where sterilization and purity are a priority. Other Eaton filtration products are equally important including:

• DCF mechanically cleaned filters eliminate disposable cartridges and bags, reduce operator handling, operate at low differential pressure, and are maintenance free with almost no downtime.
• F series automatic self-cleaning filters feature a modular design for future capacity and configuration flexibility. Cleanable media reduces life cycle costs and maximizes productivity.
• MCF series magnetically coupled filter, with a unique magnetically coupled driving technology that moves the cleaning disc, has no need for shaft or drive external seals.

Pharmaceuticals and Biotech

Eaton filtration systems have applications in manufacturing a variety of life-saving and life-enhancing products, including:

• pre-filtration or sterilizing grade filtration
• fermentation broth
• fine chemicals
• filling of OTC products (medications, mouthwash, and toothpaste)

Antibiotics

Antibiotics fight bacterial infections, so they have important lifesaving functions. FDA compliant Eaton filter media and filter systems are provided for various particle removal and clarification steps.

Phytopharmaceuticals

Reliable particle removal or clarification steps are critical in phytopharmaceuticals due to increasing demand for herbal drugs to maintain health and to treat diseases. Eaton supplies a wide range of filter media and filtration systems for use after maceration, percolation, or distillation that facilitate reproducible product quality.

Red Biotechnology

Genetic engineering techniques in human health care aid the development of therapeutic proteins as highly specific drugs, while R&D in the field of medicine for biotechnologically manufactured products helps the pharmaceutical industry develop better quality medicines. Eaton filter media and filter systems in compliance with FDA requirements enable many steps in biotechnological manufacturing.

White Biotechnology

In comparison with other technologies, living cells (yeast, molds, bacteria, or plants) used to synthesize easily degradable products require less energy and create less waste during production. The result is increased demand for biotechnological manufactured industrial products. Eaton filter media with high dirt holding capacities are offered for purification steps.

Vitamins

Eaton filtration solutions are also used in production of vitamins to make processes more efficient and improve the quality of finished products.

Plasma Fractionation

Eaton products are used in plasma fractionation with unique enclosed plate & frame filters, and also in depth filtration for clarification steps as well as separation of precipitates.

Diagnostics

High-quality Eaton filter media and filter systems are used in purification and clarification steps of clinical diagnostics for early diagnosis, prevention, and therapy for a variety of diseases.

Specialty Enzymes

Enzymes are widely used in a range of industries. Demand for increased yield during production requires filter media that has a high dirt holding capacity in clarification and haze removal steps.
