Pharmaceutical duty is thermally undemanding and administratively exacting. The equipment has to be qualifiable, and a unit that meets its duty without documentation cannot be used.

Pharmaceutical & Biotech

Qualifiable Heat Transfer

Pharmaceutical and biotech plants use heat transfer for media preparation, buffer heating and cooling, jacket service on reactors and fermenters, and utility loops. The loads are usually modest; the requirements around them are not.

Documentation is part of the purchase. Material certificates, surface finish records and test documentation follow the equipment through qualification. Raise what your protocols need at quotation rather than after fabrication.

Containment. Where a utility fluid must never reach product or purified water, double-wall plate construction puts a vented gap in the leak path so a breach appears outside the unit.

Jackets and vessels. Temp-Plate provides jacket and immersion surface on reactors and vessels, fully welded with no gaskets, in the alloys and finishes the process requires.

Common FAQs

Yes, with the documentation package supplied alongside it. Tell us at quotation what your IQ and OQ protocols require so it is planned into the build rather than reconstructed afterward.

Wherever a utility fluid could reach product or purified water without anyone noticing. The vented gap between plate sheets turns a silent cross-contamination into a visible external leak.

Temp-Plate provides jacket and immersion surface, fully welded with no gaskets, in the alloys and finishes the process requires. It can be built into new vessels or clamped onto existing ones.

Yes. Polished and passivated finishes are available where the surface is product contact or the environment demands it.
