Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What surface finish is required for nutraceutical pressure vessels?
The appropriate surface finish depends on the specific application, but most nutraceutical applications require a minimum of a #4 (180 grit) finish, with more sensitive products potentially requiring electropolished surfaces to minimize product adhesion and facilitate cleaning.
2. How do you ensure that vessels meet FDA requirements for nutraceutical manufacturing?
Our vessels are designed in compliance with FDA guidelines for food and pharmaceutical equipment, utilizing appropriate materials, sanitary design principles, and manufacturing practices that prevent contamination and facilitate validation.
3. What cleaning processes are compatible with your nutraceutical pressure vessels?
Our vessels are designed to be compatible with standard cleaning protocols including CIP (Clean-in-Place), SIP (Steam-in-Place), and manual cleaning with appropriate cleaning agents. The specific design includes features like proper drainage, minimal crevices, and accessible surfaces.
4. Can your vessels be used for both water-based and solvent-based extractions?
Yes, our vessels can be designed for compatibility with a wide range of solvents and extraction media. We select appropriate materials, gaskets, and seals based on the specific chemical compatibility requirements of your process.
5. What temperature and pressure ratings are available for nutraceutical vessels?
Our vessels can be designed for a wide range of operating conditions, from ambient to high temperature and from vacuum to high pressure, depending on the specific requirements of your process. Each vessel is engineered to safely handle its designated operating parameters.
6. How do you prevent cross-contamination between different nutraceutical products?
Our vessels incorporate sanitary design features that minimize areas where product could accumulate, facilitate thorough cleaning, and can include specialized surface treatments that reduce product adhesion. We can also design dedicated vessels for highly sensitive products.
7. Are your vessels suitable for processing organic-certified nutraceuticals?
Yes, our vessels can be designed to meet the processing requirements for organic certification, utilizing appropriate materials and manufacturing processes that comply with organic standards.
8. What documentation is provided with your nutraceutical pressure vessels?
We provide comprehensive documentation including material certifications, pressure test reports, weld maps, surface finish verifications, and other quality documentation required for regulatory compliance and validation of your manufacturing process.
9. Can your vessels be integrated with existing processing systems?
Yes, our vessels can be designed with compatible connections and interfaces to integrate seamlessly with your existing processing equipment, control systems, and utility services.
10. What is the typical lead time for a custom nutraceutical pressure vessel?
Lead times vary based on vessel complexity, size, and current production schedule. A typical custom vessel may require 10–16 weeks, but we work closely with clients to develop realistic project timelines that align with your operational needs.
