Factory Acceptance Testing
Installing a process system and then trying to work out
the kinks on site means more downtime and less production.
At A&B Process Systems, we’re here to solve problems, not
compound them. Our solution? Factory Acceptance Testing of
our systems at our state-of-the-art testing facility,
designed by our customers, for our customers. You
design products with customers in mind, and so do we. We
construct our facilities based on what our customers
envision.

WFI & Piping
Your customers want products they can rely on. That means consistent and
safe results. You expect the same from your process system. At A&B Process
Systems, we realize that water is a key element in all aspects of
life, including pharmaceuticals, and we respect that. Our Water for
Injection (WFI) systems and Water Purification Units (WPU) meet and exceed
all established purity standards every day of the week, every week of the
year.
Our WFI and WPU systems are partnered with pretreatment applications and
documentation to support validation with efficiency and productivity as a
primary focus. A&B insight is watertight. Because when it comes to

It’s innovation at its best. Powdered materials present a unique
challenge because there’s always a need to eliminate significant dust
formation that can contaminate products and the surrounding environment. A&B
Process Systems, along with
Admix, has
met this unique challenge with a vacuum liquid processing system that is
efficient, reduces the risk of contamination, improve workplace safety, and
reduce lost dollars with reduced powder loss. That’s the shear beauty of
VacuShear®. VacuShear offers:
-
Customization – designed to ensure maximum
efficiency for the mixing process
-
Cost-effective - decreases incidence of unused
powder
-
Improved Safety and Purity - create ergonomic and
efficient link between the conveying and mixing operations by designing
- processor that is a combination of the mixing tank, vacuum
pumps, powder feeders, hoppers and dumping stations
- waist-high or ground level vacuum feed stations that reduce
back strain and climbing accidents and eliminate paper and plastic
scraps from contaminating the batch
-
Dust-free Environment - introduce powders, solids,
semi-solids or liquids via vacuum system directly into sealed mixing
tank
- hands-free conveyance of material
- incorporated through high shear mixing of Admix, Rotosolver®
-
Elimination of aeration, foaming, dusting – places
powders, solids, semi-solids or liquids directly at the mixing head and
below the surface of the liquid
-
CIP integration – CIP-integrated design option
-
Low maintenance – eliminate high maintenance with
- top entry, high shear Rotosolver that is without bottom
bearings or seals
- no complicated orientation of drive and mixer at the tank
outlet
-
Factory acceptance testing - systems are tested in
our state-of-the-art Test Center
-
Trial testing – certain systems are eligible for
trial testing at our site prior to purchase; contact A&B for further
information
Unused powder equates to lost dollars. Contact us for a demonstration
that will illustrate the VacuShear® difference. We make every granule count.
