Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly using biotechnology for the production of drugs
The term industrial fermentation mean all processes that use microorganisms for the purpose of obtaining certain products.
The typical example of industrial fermentation is the production of antibiotics,made by incubating some types of mold.
Equipment for industrial fermentation must meet precise technical requirements, in order to manage the process accurately and maximize the metabolite yield, which constitutes the final product.
The industrial fermenters must meet specific technical features sych as:
-a system of efficient agitation;
-a mechanism of temperature control that ensures the optimal incubation
-reading devices for critical parameters (temperature, pH, flow).
The industrial fermenters are widely used in the pharmaceutical industries: they allow the production of antibiotics and other organic molecules such as insulin on a large scale.
In the modern biotechnology industry, where production processes always start from microorganisms, the role of industrial fermenters is strategic.
To best suit the type of fermentation, the design of industrial fermenters must be tailored to the client’s specifications: only in this way is it possible to produce high-quality pharmaceutical and biotechnological equipment.
