Pressure Reducing Valves Pharma and Biotek

In the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, precision, reliability and safety play a crucial role. A critical component that meets these requirements and is essential in many applications is pressure reducing valves. These valves, also known as control valves or pressure reducers, are an important factor in  controlling fluid pressure in various processes.

But how exactly do these valves work?  What are they used for in the pharmaceutical and biotech sector and what do you have to look for when buying? We explain. 

What are pressure reducing valves and how do they work?

Pressure reducing valves are valves that control the pressure of liquids or gases in a system. They ensure that the pressure remains constant and does not reach peak values that could lead to damage to the equipment or deteriorating product quality.

The operation of a pressure reducing valve is based on a simple principle: the  valve has an adjustable spring that regulates the pressure in the system. When the pressure reaches a certain threshold, the valve opens and allows the liquid or gas to escape until the pressure is reduced to the desired level. As soon as the desired pressure is reached, the valve closes automatically and keeps the pressure constant.

Use of pressure reducing valves in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries

In the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, precise control of fluid pressure is crucial to ensure the quality and safety of manufactured products. Pressure reducing valves are used in a wide range of applications, including:

1. Fermentation processes: Fermentation processes are used in the production of biotechnological products such as antibodies or vaccines. It is important to precisely control the pressure in the fermenters in order to create optimal conditions for the growth of the microorganisms.
2. Sterilization: The sterilization of equipment, containers and media is an essential step in pharmaceutical and biotech production. Pressure reducing valves allow precise pressure control during the sterilization process to ensure sterilization effectiveness.
3. Filling and packaging equipment: In automated filling and packaging equipment, precise pressure control is required to ensure uniformfilling of bottles or containers. Pressure reducing valves ensure constant pressure during the filling process to minimize product loss and quality issues.
