We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pharmaceutical Manufacturing",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release DEM joins research programme from
DEM Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "As a new member of the C-SOPS, DEM Solutions will contribute its DEM software technology and experience in the industrial application of DEM".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Actuator squeezes stroke into the minimum space from
Rodriguez (UK): "The Mini range of electric motor-driven actuators comprises five basic sizes with body diameters range from 60 to 128mm".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Sugatsune Kogyo UK
- take a look at Hinge website aids UK customers
which says: "Many of the Sugatsune's products are available in either 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for use in aggressive operating environments such as food processing and marine".
Take a look also at the news release from Pepperl+Fuchs USA, Fieldbus installation system suits new plant,
as well as Simulation tool predicts particle behaviour from DEM Solutions,
and Scalable system optimises life sciences from ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation).
