Spray Nozzles for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Precision spray solutions for cleanroom environments, CIP/SIP systems, and controlled humidification—engineered for FDA compliance, GMP standards, and sterile production.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing demands the highest standards of sanitation, precision, and regulatory compliance across every stage of production—from active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis to tablet coating, sterile filling, and packaging. Contamination risks, environmental control failures, and inadequate cleaning validation can result in product recalls, FDA citations, production shutdowns, and compromised patient safety.
NozzlePro provides pharmaceutical-grade spray technology engineered specifically for cleanroom environments, hygienic design standards, and regulated manufacturing. Our spray nozzles support critical applications including Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) systems, controlled humidity management, surface sanitization, tablet coating uniformity, and contamination control—delivering consistent performance, complete documentation, and compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 1, ISO 14644 cleanroom standards, and ISPE baseline guides.
Critical Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Applications
🧪 CIP/SIP Systems
Automated Clean-in-Place and Sterilize-in-Place spray systems for vessels, reactors, filling lines, and processing equipment. Sanitary spray balls and fixed nozzle arrays deliver validated coverage, repeatable cleaning, and documented sterilization cycles meeting FDA and EU GMP requirements.
CIP/SIP Solutions →💨 Cleanroom Humidification
Precision fog and mist systems maintain controlled humidity levels (40–60% RH) in ISO Class 5–8 cleanrooms, preventing electrostatic discharge, reducing particle generation, ensuring tablet stability, and protecting hygroscopic APIs. Validated for non-contaminating operation with pharmaceutical-grade water (WFI/purified water).
Cleanroom Humidity Control →🧼 Surface Sanitization
High-efficiency spray nozzles for equipment sanitization, room decontamination, and pass-through chamber disinfection. Uniform application of sanitizing agents (isopropanol, hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonium) across production surfaces, isolator walls, and material transfer airlocks.
Sanitization Nozzles →💊 Tablet Coating
Precision air-atomizing nozzles for pharmaceutical coating pans and fluid bed systems. Controlled droplet size, uniform distribution, and adjustable spray patterns ensure consistent film coating thickness, minimize orange peel defects, and reduce coating material waste.
Coating Nozzles →❄️ Equipment Cooling
Targeted cooling sprays for granulators, dryers, milling equipment, and high-shear mixers. Temperature control prevents API degradation, maintains process consistency, and protects sensitive pharmaceutical ingredients.
Cooling Systems →🌡️ Process Humidification
Controlled moisture addition for powder blending, granulation, and dust suppression in OSD (oral solid dosage) manufacturing. Precise humidity control improves blend uniformity, reduces segregation, and minimizes dust generation.

Regulatory Compliance & Industry Standards
Engineering Excellence for Pharmaceutical Applications
NozzlePro's pharmaceutical spray solutions combine precision engineering with hygienic design principles. Our engineering team works closely with pharmaceutical manufacturers, validation specialists, and quality assurance departments to design systems that meet both process requirements and regulatory expectations.
Design Considerations: We evaluate critical parameters including spray coverage uniformity, droplet size distribution, impact force, drainage characteristics, dead-leg elimination, surface finish requirements, and cleaning validation requirements. Systems are designed with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling, spray impact testing, and coverage verification to ensure complete surface wetting and validated cleaning performance.
Material Selection: All wetted components use pharmaceutical-grade 316L stainless steel with electropolished finishes achieving Ra ≤ 0.4 µm surface roughness. Seals and gaskets utilize FDA-compliant elastomers (EPDM, silicone) meeting USP Class VI biocompatibility requirements. Material selection documentation includes full traceability, heat lot tracking, and certificates of conformance.
Validation Support: NozzlePro provides comprehensive validation support including Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) protocols. Spray coverage maps, cleaning validation data, and worst-case challenge testing documentation support regulatory submissions and FDA inspections.
