GlaxoSmithKline
is one of the world’s leading research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare
companies and is committed to improving the quality of human life by enabling
people to do more, feel better and live longer.
Health and
safety is a top priority of GlaxoSmithKline and they invest heavily in the best
equipment to provide protection for their work force.
At their
new facility in the UK GlaxoSmithKline invested in a new dust collection system
especially designed for pharmaceutical
production. The two dust collectors were supplied with bag-in/bag-out door
options, dual valve offload for product removal, explosion suppression systems
and HEPA after-filters.

The first collector
was linked to a series of ten production suites, of which any four could be in
operation at one time. A complex control system was supplied as part of the
project to switch extraction between these suites, whilst maintaining a
constant air volume within the system and reducing energy consumption.
The second unit, which was a high-vacuum dust collector, was connected
to the house vacuum system, providing a high-pressure vacuum cleaning facility
within the new production suites and surrounding areas.
