Pharma meets purity.

GMP-compliant ventilation infrastructure for the new packaging and production facility in Laufenburg: two separate concepts for ISO and GMP zones, a continuous filter cascade from F7 to F9 to H13 - planned, built and commissioned from a single source.

A portrait of Pure Pharma

A look behind the scenes.

Before we dive deep into filter classes and pressure cascades, let's take a look at the company for which we planned and built the GMP infrastructure in Laufenburg. Pure Pharma stands for medicinal cannabis products with pharmaceutical standards.

Scheme

This is how the filter cascade works.

In a GMP-compliant facility, outside air is not introduced directly - it passes through a three-stage cleaning cascade. Each variant removes finer particles before the air enters the GMP zone. The end result: HEPA-level particulate filtration, documented and certifiable.

+45 Pa overpressure

The GMP zone is under constant overpressure - air only flows outwards. Particles from outside have no chance.

02 / Purity

GMP classes C + D

Filter combination F7 - F9 - H13 achieves suspended matter separation > 99.95 % - certifiable according to EU-GMP (≈ ISO 7 / ISO 8).

The story

In three acts.

01 / Initial situation

Pharma needs purity.

Pure Pharma modernized its site in Laufenburg in 2023 to raise the packaging and processing of flowers products to pharmaceutical standards - ISO and GMP. A complete concept from a single source was required.

02 / Challenge

Certifiable. Time-critical.

Two separate ventilation systems, GMP documentation requirements, conversion during ongoing production - and delivery times of up to ten weeks for critical components. Without early basic planning, it would have been significantly more expensive.

03 / Result

GMP-capable. Modular.

Completely individually planned ventilation facility, modular in design, maintenance-friendly and retrofittable. CarbonActive took care of everything from the initial assessment to commissioning - on a management basis, transparently and at eye level.

Your GMP processing zone.
We plan it.

From inventory to commissioning - CarbonActive plans, builds and operates ventilation infrastructure for GMP-compliant pharmaceutical and cannabis production. 🇨🇭
