Suzhou Pharma Machinery: Commitment & Expertise in Africa Cleanroom Project

• Project name: Comprehensive Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing project
• Customer information: Regional leading medium-sized enterprise with multi-product line co-production capabilities
• Core Demand: Custom-build a 1,800 ㎡ pharmaceutical clean room with full-process construction in Nigeria, commissioning and after-sales support; adapt to Africa's local production environment and pharmaceutical compliance standards, and ensure stable operation of the clean room.
• Project Grade: Cleanliness Class ISO7+ISO8.
• Delivery cycle: Efficiently advanced and completed full-process construction + after-sales service, with all links delivered as scheduled.

Project Key Challenge

1. The pharmaceutical industry has stringent requirements for the stability of clean room cleanliness and production compliance. ISO7+ISO8 clean areas need to be free from contaminant intrusion throughout the process, and comprehensive after-sales support is required after project delivery to ensure continuous production operation.

2. The project location is under harsh environmental conditions with muddy roads, hot and humid climate, and frequent rainfall leading to unstable power supply, which is likely to affect the construction progress; the professional adaptability of local construction workers is limited, requiring simplified operation processes to reduce construction difficulty.

3. Clean room construction involves a large variety of equipment and accessories, and material supply is inconvenient in local Africa. Shortage of accessories is prone to cause installation delays, requiring zero loss of materials and sufficient supply of spare parts.

SZ-PHARMA Customized Solutions

We provide customers with ample spare parts support, including all small screws, fasteners, and other consumables, which are all prepared in sufficient quantities as needed. This almost demanding meticulous preparation not only avoids delays in the installation process due to insufficient parts, but also makes customers feel our service philosophy of "starting from the end" - we strive to make every aspect perfect in every step.

During the on-site construction process, the collaboration with local workers was smooth and efficient, which was attributed to the meticulous and comprehensive design concept we had in place beforehand. Our design plan took into account the convenience of actual operation, simplifying complex procedures into intuitive steps, enabling local workers to quickly get started without the need for additional training. The environmental conditions at the project site were quite challenging, with muddy roads and a humid and hot climate. However, our team, leveraging their rich on-site experience, calmly addressed the challenges and ensured that the work progress was not disrupted. Particularly in terms of the weather, there was frequent rainfall every day, causing unstable power supply and power outages becoming the norm. In response to this, we had deployed an efficient backup generator system in advance. Once a power outage occurred, it was immediately activated to ensure the continuous operation of the construction equipment, and never did the overall progress get affected due to the weather. This proactive preparation allowed the project to proceed as planned in harsh conditions, fully demonstrating our adaptability and responsibility.

Meeting Core Indicators

Cleanliness Indicators:

• Suspended Particles: In ISO 7 zones, particles ≥0.5μm ≤ 352,000 counts/m³; in ISO 8 zones ≤ 3,520,000 counts/m³. Actual measured data exceeded standards by 15%-20%.
• Microbial Control: Settling bacteria and airborne bacteria tests showed "Not Detected" or far below alert limits for three consecutive batches, perfectly meeting pharmacopoeia requirements.
• Pressure Stability: Pressure differences between rooms of different levels remained stable at ≥10-15Pa.
• Dynamic noise: ≤60dB(A); illuminance on main operation surfaces ≥300Lux, meeting comfort and operational visibility requirements.
• Temperature & Humidity Precision: the temperature is stably maintained at 20-24℃ and humidity at 45-60% RH even in the hot and humid environment, adapting to the needs of pharmaceutical production;

Achieving Customer Demands

In this project, we have always regarded details as the core. From large equipment to tiny components, all products are delivered in a zero-loss state, ensuring that customers have no worries during the installation process.

The installation team communicated efficiently with local workers every day, resolving issues promptly and steadily advancing the progress. This seamless connection not only shortened the construction period but also established a professional and reliable image in the minds of the clients.

The 1,800 ㎡ customized clean room was successfully completed; all equipment and accessories were delivered with zero loss and sufficient spare parts supply, with no installation delays caused by material problems; the construction process was adapted to the operational capabilities of local workers, who could quickly get started without additional training, greatly shortening the on-site construction period; the clean room was put into operation as scheduled to support the advancement of the customer's pharmaceutical production plan; the improved after-sales support system provides all-round support for the stable operation of the clean room in the later stage.

What can we do?

In Africa, we have cumulatively advanced three cleanroom projects, which are currently in different stages of completion delivery, half-built construction, and implementation start-up. These projects cover various industries such as cosmetics production, medical device manufacturing, and biotechnology. Each success is the result of our accumulated rich experience and precise control in multiple fields.

We can provide long-term maintenance service + 7×24-hour technical response, formulate exclusive after-sales maintenance plans according to the characteristics of the local environment in Africa, timely solve various problems during the operation of the clean room.
