Magnetic Stirrer for Sterile Pharmaceutical Formulations

Overview

The magnetic stirrer for sterile pharmaceutical formulations is equipment designed to perform the aseptic mixing of liquids and suspensions without direct mechanical contact with the outside of the tank. This technology eliminates the use of traditional mechanical seals, ensuring an environment completely free of cross-contamination, being essential for the safe production of vaccines, injectables and eye drops.

In processes that require a high degree of asepsis, the integrity of the final product is the absolute priority. Using a Magnetic Stirrer, the pharmaceutical industry ensures high-precision magnetic stirring, where the magnetic force transmits the torque efficiently and safely. The sanitary design facilitates on-site cleaning and sterilization processes (CIP and SIP), strictly complying with current sanitary regulations for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.

For 15 years in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market, Agimix develops complete projects to meet the most critical demands. We supply everything from the agitation system to the Pharmaceutical Reactor with Magnetic Stirrer (with a capacity of up to 10,000 liters), delivering advanced engineering integrated to your process that optimizes your plant's yield and protects the purity of your sterile formulations with superior results.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.

What is a magnetic stirrer for sterile pharmaceutical formulations?

The magnetic stirrer is equipment that uses magnetic fields to rotate the impeller inside the tank, without the need for a shaft piercing the tank wall. This technology guarantees a 100% aseptic mixture, making it the ideal choice for the pharmaceutical industry to avoid any risk of external contamination.

How does magnetic stirring work in pharmaceutical reactors?

magnetic agitation works through a motorized external rotor that magnetically transmits torque to an internal impeller welded to the bottom of the tank. As there is no physical contact or mechanical seals, the Pharmaceutical Reactor with Magnetic Stirrer maintains an airtight environment, essential for high degree of asepsis processes.

What are the advantages of using an agitator without a mechanical seal?

The main advantage of eliminating the mechanical seal is the complete exclusion of leakage points and bacteria accumulation, ensuring the integrity of the final product. Furthermore, the absence of mechanical friction drastically reduces the need for maintenance and prevents the release of particles in the pharmaceutical batch.

Is the magnetic stirrer compatible with CIP and SIP processes?

Yes, the sanitary design of the magnetic stirrer is fully designed to support CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilization-in-Place) cleaning cycles. The impeller has calculated gaps that allow the free passage of cleaning fluids, ensuring thermal and chemical decontamination without the need for disassembly.

What is the maximum capacity of pharmaceutical reactors supplied by Agimix?

Agimix manufactures and supplies reactors and mixing tanks with capacities of up to 10,000 liters. For volumes above this range, we exclusively supply the magnetic agitation system, which can be integrated and installed in the large reservoir that the customer already has in their plant.

For which types of products is the magnetic stirrer best suited?

This equipment is highly recommended for the production of injectable solutions, vaccines, eye drops and blood products. Due to its ability to operate with low shear, the Magnetic Stirrer preserves the structure of sensitive molecules and proteins throughout homogenization.

How is speed control done in magnetic stirring?

Speed ​​control is carried out electronically through a frequency inverter coupled to the external motor control panel. This allows fine adjustment of the rotation, ensuring high-precision agitation that adapts perfectly to different viscosities and phases of the production process.

What is the manufacturing material for magnetic stirrers for the pharmaceutical sector?

All parts in contact with the product are manufactured from high purity 316L Stainless Steel, with an electropolished surface finish. This rigorous specification prevents residue adhesion and meets the most demanding standards of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, guaranteeing total health safety.
