Our Metal Fabrication Capabilities

  1. Reactor Tanks for Biotech and Pharma Applications

    Reactor tanks are essential for a variety of biotech and pharmaceutical processes, including chemical synthesis, fermentation, and drug development. Our custom-built reactor tanks are designed for optimal performance, safety, and compliance with industry standards.

    • Custom Designs: We specialize in designing reactor tanks tailored to the unique needs of your processes, ensuring efficient mixing, temperature control, and safety.
    • Materials Selection: We utilize high-grade stainless steel and other specialized alloys to prevent contamination and corrosion, ensuring your reactions take place in a controlled, sterile environment.
    • Regulatory Compliance: Our reactor tanks are designed to meet the stringent standards required by regulatory bodies such as the FDA and cGMP, ensuring that your equipment is compliant with industry regulations.
  2. API Tanks for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients

    The production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) demands the highest levels of precision and material integrity. Our API tanks are custom-engineered to meet the specific needs of your API manufacturing processes.

    • Corrosion-Resistant Construction: API tanks are fabricated from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and specialized alloys to maintain product integrity throughout the manufacturing process.
    • Sanitary Design: We ensure that all API tanks are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, helping you meet the highest sanitation standards required by the pharmaceutical industry.
    • Custom Sizes and Configurations: Our tanks are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, allowing for flexibility and scalability to accommodate your production needs.
  3. Pressure Vessels for Pharmaceutical and R&D Applications

    Pressure vessels play a critical role in many biotech, pharmaceutical, and R&D processes, including those involving gases, liquids, and chemicals. We design and fabricate pressure vessels that are built to withstand high pressures while maintaining safety and performance.

    • High-Pressure Tolerance: Our pressure vessels are engineered to handle the extreme conditions often found in pharmaceutical manufacturing and R&D applications.
    • Durable Materials: We use high-strength materials such as stainless steel and titanium to ensure that our pressure vessels are durable and resistant to corrosion, even under challenging conditions
    • Safety Standards: All of our pressure vessels are built in compliance with industry codes and safety standards, including ASME and PED, to ensure safe operation under high-pressure conditions.
