Compressed Air for Pharmaceutical and Medical
Cleanroom air, process air, instrument air, tank blanketing. Pharmaceutical production demands validated, documented, and monitored compressed air at every stage.
How Compressed Air Powers Your Operations
Cleanroom Air Supply
Compressed air feeding into cleanroom environments. Filtration and monitoring must match your cleanroom classification.
Process Air
Direct and indirect contact with pharmaceutical products during manufacturing, coating, and drying.
Instrument Air
Pneumatic instruments and control valves across your process automation systems.
Tank Blanketing
Nitrogen generated from compressed air for tank blanketing, purging, and inerting.
Packaging Lines
Blister packing, cartoning, and labelling machines powered by compressed air.
Laboratory Equipment
Clean compressed air for analytical instruments, fume cupboard controls, and lab automation.
Where Pharmaceutical Compressed Air Gets Complex
GMP compliance without clear documentation
Good Manufacturing Practice requires documented evidence that your compressed air meets specification. Most facilities know they should be testing but have not formalised a testing schedule or documentation framework.
Batch risk from air quality excursions
A mid-batch air quality excursion can invalidate an entire production batch. The financial exposure from one contamination event dwarfs the cost of proper monitoring and maintenance.
Validation requirements for system changes
Any change to your compressed air system may require IQ/OQ revalidation. This means your maintenance partner needs to understand pharmaceutical change control, not just compressor mechanics.
Compressed Air That Meets Pharmaceutical Standards
Airmech provides maintenance and monitoring for pharmaceutical compressed air systems with full documentation to support your GMP obligations.
We deliver ISO 8573 air quality testing at defined intervals, maintenance records formatted for quality system integration, and the engineering expertise to maintain validated systems without triggering unnecessary revalidation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you understand pharmaceutical change control requirements?
Yes. We work within your change control framework. Planned maintenance that does not alter system performance does not typically trigger revalidation. When changes are required, we provide the documentation your quality team needs for impact assessment.
How often should we test our compressed air quality?
Testing frequency depends on your application risk profile and regulatory requirements. We typically recommend quarterly ISO 8573 testing for process-critical systems and annual testing for utility air. We set the schedule based on your specific requirements.
Can you provide IQ/OQ documentation support?
We provide installation and operational qualification documentation frameworks for new compressed air systems. For existing systems, we provide ongoing monitoring data and maintenance records formatted to support your validation status.
Do you supply oil-free compressors?
Yes. We are authorised distributors for CompAir oil-free compressors including the D-Series range. We can supply, install, and maintain oil-free systems for applications where ISO 8573 Class 0 is required.
