Hydraulic installations for the pharmaceutical sector

BFS PFIZER KLAAR

DV Hydraulics designed and built six identical, ultra-compact hydraulic installations for a GMP-regulated environment, replacing outdated hydraulic power units originally built to American standards.

The new hydraulic units were fully custom-designed in 3D with a strong focus on reliability and process control. Thanks to their compact and well-structured layout, all six installations were seamlessly integrated within the limited available installation space, without modifications to the surrounding machine environment. By using high-quality, standardized components, the systems are maintenance-friendly, future-proof, and suitable for long-term operation in a regulated industrial context.


Technical specifications of the installations

  • Variable hydraulic pump driven by an 11 kW electric motor (1450 rpm)

  • Adjustable maximum operating pressure up to 70 bar

  • Circulation pump for active oil cooling or heating via a plate heat exchanger

  • Custom-built stainless steel 304L reservoirs – 200 liters, equipped with:

    • air breather filter

    • sight glass

    • combined level and temperature sensor

  • Pressure and return filters with electrical contamination indicators

  • Pressure relief valves with return to tank

  • Compact, maintenance-friendly manifold blocks


All hydraulic piping was measured on site after positioning of the units and prefabricated to minimize installation time and downtime. All six installations were delivered with full technical documentation and successfully commissioned by our experienced service technicians, in line with GMP principles.
