Fabtech's in-house manufacturing capability
Fabtech makes the machines that go into the plants it builds. We design, fabricate, assemble and test them inside one company. We do not spread this work across a chain of suppliers.
This is unusual in pharma engineering. It is what makes a single point of accountability possible. Most of the industry uses an outsourced model. We chose to work in-house instead.
Many companies choose outsourced solutions for the benefits they see in them. In-house solutions are different. They give closer access to performance. They also give better control and supervision, and they lead to stronger and clearer communication.
Fabtech is a pharma engineering expert. Our in-house manufacturing capability lets us keep full ownership of our work. We also own how well our equipment performs and works overall. This page sets out the key performance indicators of our everyday in-house work.
Every pharma project needs equipment made for it. Our engineering solutions cover clean air, purified water systems and effective processing. With our in-house skills, we specialize in solutions made for the needs of each project.
Our clean air solutions include our tailor-made cleanroom panel production line. The cleanroom panels go through careful processing in a Rockwool section, a Puff filling section and powder coating.
Rockwool panels are a smart and sustainable solution. We make them to resist fire, moisture, bacterial growth, rodents and moulds. For Puff panels, we cut each panel precisely and fill it with puff. The panels can then be fitted tightly and easily into the wall. They absorb sound and so reduce noise transmission. The powder coating gives a durable finish.
We make our cleanroom equipment with precision, because this equipment is critical. We do every step, from bending and fabrication to assembly, to protect people and the cleanroom environment.
cGMP means current Good Manufacturing Practice. Our cGMP certification shows that we follow good manufacturing practices guidelines for pharmaceuticals. This helps productivity and efficiency in cleanroom facilities.
HVAC means heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Our HVAC system measures and controls the volume of air flow and the amount of particles in the air.
HEPA filters are very fine air filters that trap small particles. The HEPA filters for Laminar Air flow are designed to stop pharmaceutical products from being contaminated. Laminar air flow means air that moves in one steady direction. The filters also help make the room clean and sterile.
Our engineers pay close attention to ventilation. Good ventilation can remove stale air, odours and airborne contaminants that may be harmful. Pressure control is also essential. It keeps the right pressure differentials between the different areas of the plant. A pressure differential is a difference in air pressure. Our HVAC manufacturing capability is a big part of our success in pharma manufacturing.
Our pre-engineered HVAC system, modular cleanroom panels and equipment are a main part of our modular cleanrooms. The equipment is walkable and non-walkable ceiling panels, risers, doors, view panels and covings (curved corner pieces). These parts are pre-fabricated, which means they are made in the factory first. This makes the room easier, quicker and more cost-effective to configure.
The modular design gives better control over airflow, pressure, temperature, humidity and filtration. Windows and utilities are fitted in the factory, ready to install on site.
Water is an essential resource, and it matters even more in the pharma industry. Our pure water generation system uses advanced pre-treatment and post-treatment. These two stages deal well with contaminants. The water then safely meets the final quality needs for purified water.
Fabtech’s PW (purified water) system has a sanitary design and high efficiency. Its conductivity and water quality stay the same over time. A complete closed-loop piping system carries the water to every user point in the factory.
This closed loop is sustainable. It supports the whole purified water system: generation, storage and distribution. It also lets energy be recycled. The system uses heat sanitizing, softening, reverse osmosis and continued electrode ionization. Reverse osmosis pushes water through a very fine filter.
Our Multi Column Distillation Plant (MCDP) produces water for injections (WFI). This is the water used to make injectable medicines. The process uses distillation. It works on the principle of heat exchange.
The water is 100% pyrogen-free, which means it has no substances that cause fever. It is stored in a system that keeps it moving all the time. It is generally kept at 80 - 85 ºC to keep its properties. This process removes ionic materials, particulates, colloids, non-volatile organic compounds and bacterial endotoxins. That is why it is the most accepted method for WFI.
Our granulation equipment covers single units and complete production lines. Granulation turns fine powder into larger grains that flow and press well. The equipment is used for powder processing, oral solid dosage forms (tablets and capsules) and tablet coating.
We develop our equipment with precision. It is made to run without trouble. It fits smoothly into existing pharma plants. Our experts have the right skills to advise customers on the different granulation processes. They guide each customer to the best solution for their own granulation needs.
Our cleanroom containment systems offer a range of isolators. An isolator is a sealed chamber that keeps the product apart from the operator and the room. The range lets you reach the level of decontamination you need. Our aseptic (germ-free) and non-aseptic isolator systems are ideal for different situations in a pharma project.
The isolators promise process integrity. They also promise the highest protection for the operator and the environment, especially with potent products. Potent products are medicines that work at very small doses.
The chambers are ergonomic, which means they are built to be easy for operators to use. They hold the products safely during processing. Glove ports let operators reach inside with ease. Material goes in and out of the isolator safely through the pass box or antechamber.
A prefilled syringe comes filled with the medicine, ready to use. Fabtech’s FilPac prefilled syringe machines combine new technology with strict quality standards. The machines have a higher output. This has led to wider acceptance among medical professionals and patients around the world.
Our vial filling and capping machine is designed to keep the drugs sterile. It protects them against external reactants, contaminants, environmental dust and other microorganisms.
The packaging is flexible and advanced. It makes the product easier to use, especially for complex drugs. It is convenient, and it can hold different volumes of medicines or other substances. It also keeps the medicine intact and stable. It keeps the medicine effective for its whole shelf life.
Our Capsule filling machines work with various capsule sizes. They have attachments for powder filling, pellet filling and tablet filling.
Our Pacifab Capsule Filling Machines are known for a higher and complete level of filling. They are also known for a great production rate, weight accuracy and reliable quality. The equipment gives precision, drug stability and efficacy (how well the medicine works). It can adapt to the growing needs of different dosage forms.
We do more than make and deliver equipment. We also install it in plants around the world. We see our job as complete only when we are sure the equipment makes the whole pharma production process run more efficiently.
We handle material logistics and make the operational set-up simpler. We also make sure spares, change parts and service are ready when you need them. Change parts are the machine parts swapped to run a different product or size. Our life engineers make mockups of the deliverables in the plant. This way, the equipment fits in without disrupting the existing set-up.
Our life engineers use new technology to make custom solutions for all your project needs. They check raw materials, test products, audit processes and watch over continuous operations. They do this at various locations in India and around the world, such as Algeria, Nigeria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, South Africa, Bangladesh and Tanzania. Our Gulf projects are on the page for Fabtech in Bahrain and the Middle East.
We keep communication open and clear with local clients. We overcome language barriers so that we can work well together. Our life engineers also have hands-on experience in numerous turnkey pharma projects. In a turnkey project, the complete plant is handed over ready to use.
As pharma engineering consultants, we complete every project. Each project meets our customers’ expectations and the wider goal of the healthcare sector. The work of our engineers helps save millions of lives. It does this by making medicines easier to get and more affordable.
Each project we take on moves through Design|Build|Execute and grows stronger at each step. We have complete manufacturing capability, wide experience, exceptional engineering and efficient equipment. With these, we cover everything from start to finish and every step in between.
