Pharmaceutical-grade compressed air — clean, validated, GMP-compliant
Compressed air in pharmaceutical manufacturing is classified as a direct or indirect product contact utility, making air quality a regulatory requirement, not just a preference. AP Compressors supplies and configures compressed air systems with oil-free quality output, validated desiccant drying, and multi-stage filtration appropriate for tablet presses, blister packaging, capsule filling, liquid dosage lines, and clean room instrumentation across pharmaceutical plants in Nepal.
- Oil-free quality compressed air meeting ISO 8573-1 Class 1 for product-contact applications
- Desiccant dryers achieving pressure dewpoints of –40°C for moisture-sensitive processes
- Multi-stage filtration: particulate, coalescing, and activated carbon for complete contamination control

System overview
Key applications
Tablet Pressing & Coating
Tablet presses and coating pans use compressed air for material conveying, pneumatic actuation, and spray guns. Product-contact air must meet strict oil and moisture limits.
Capsule Filling
Capsule filling machines use compressed air for dosator actuation, capsule separation, and dust extraction. Contaminated air directly affects fill accuracy and product integrity.
Blister Packaging
Blister forming and sealing lines use compressed air to drive forming plugs, heat seal actuators, and indexing mechanisms. Clean, dry air prevents packaging defects.
Liquid & Injectable Lines
Liquid dosage and injectable manufacturing lines require the highest air quality standards — any contamination risk in product-contact airstreams is unacceptable under GMP.
Instrumentation & Clean Rooms
Instrument air for control valves and clean room pressurisation requires consistent pressure, low dewpoint, and zero oil contamination.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Find answers about our air compressors, air dryers, filters, customized compressed air solutions, installation, and maintenance services.
Reach out to our teamDirect product-contact air typically requires ISO 8573-1 Class 1 for oil content (≤0.01 mg/m³) and Class 1 for moisture. Indirect contact and utility air may permit Class 2. Your validation protocol will define the exact requirements for each use point.
Yes. We can provide equipment data sheets, filter specifications, and system schematics to support your IQ/OQ validation documentation. Discuss your specific validation requirements with our team.
Most GMP guidelines require periodic air quality testing — typically annually or following any significant system change. We offer air sampling and testing services to support your ongoing compliance programme.
Yes. We design N+1 redundant configurations with duty/standby compressors, automatic changeover, and common distribution to ensure continuous air supply for uninterrupted production.
