Your challenge – our answer
In the pharmaceutical industry, aseptic conditions, process reliability and compliance with GMP and GSP standards are crucial.
Standard solutions often result in increased cleaning effort, complex approval processes and longer project timelines. With Ziemann Holvrieka, you can rely on tailor-made stainless steel tank and plant solutions that are CIP/SIP-capable and meet the highest regulatory requirements.
Our services for the pharmaceutical industry
Storage tanks
Our storage tanks are designed for pharmaceutical liquids, intermediates, and water applications. Up to a diameter of 7.5 meters, tanks can be fully manufactured as one-piece units in the factory; larger dimensions are realized through flexible on-site assembly.
The focus is on maximum safety, full traceability, and GMP-compliant design with documented surface quality.
Tailor-made tanks
Whether highly pure media, aggressive substances, or sterile applications – we supply tailor-made special tanks for demanding pharmaceutical processes.
All solutions meet GMP and FDA requirements and are designed for seamless integration into complex, validated process chains.
Pressure vessels
Our pressure vessels are designed for sterile processes under pressure and comply with PED and ASME standards. ATEX-compliant configurations are available for explosive media.
The focus is on regulatory compliance, validated processes, and maximum process safety.
Process tanks
Our process tanks are designed for aseptic mixing, reaction, and fermentation processes, ensuring sterile and controlled operation. They are equipped with agitators, process instrumentation, and integrated heating and cooling systems.
All tanks are fully CIP/SIP-capable and designed to prevent contamination while ensuring consistent product quality.
Silos
Our silos are designed for pharmaceutical powders and granulates under controlled and aseptic conditions. They are constructed according to Eurocode 3 and available with ATEX-compliant design.
Hygienic, validated execution and optional discharge systems ensure safe storage and precise material handling.
Tank accessories
In addition to their various applications, our tanks and systems can be equipped with a wide range of accessories tailored to your needs:
Walkway systems for safe access, insulation, agitators, and structural steel solutions in stainless or carbon steel, as well as skid-mounted units.
Spare parts and global service ensure reliable operation, full compliance, and predictable lifecycle costs.
