Bio-Pharm & Data Centres
High Purity Solutions specializes in precision orbital welding.
Orbital welding was first introduced in the late 1960s as a way to reduce the weight of hydraulic and fuel systems on commercial aircraft.
Why Orbital Welding?
In the 1970s, orbital welding emerged as a key method for constructing pharmaceutical water systems. This technique was adopted to minimize the risk of contamination in areas where water might be retained, potentially leading to bacterial growth, a common concern with manual welding.
Applications in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Orbital welding is utilized across various sectors of the Pharmaceutical Industry for:
- Process lines
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) water delivery systems
- Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) skids
- Clean steam systems
- Water for Injection (WFI) loops
Key advantages of orbital welding:
The benefits of orbital welding include:
- Highly consistent and repeatable welds
- Reduced heat-affected zone (HAZ)
- Elimination of defects such as porosity and cracking
- Smooth and even tube bores
