Challenges that affect the electro polishing industry in India revolve around the material properties, limitations of equipment, and environmental issues. These include problems associated with desired surface quality when used with particular alloys. When it comes to the safety of particular electrolytes, there is a necessity to increase the efficiency of equipment to avert environmental harm. Pnkep Tech Solutions overcomes these through standardized procedures, quality execution ensuring client satisfaction and trust.
Pnkep Tech Solutions (PNK), established in 2016 in Hyderabad, is a competent service provider for electro polishing and buffing of high-quality pharmacy processing equipment and food processing equipment. The company constantly seeks better ways to offer its services to ensure utmost client satisfaction. Today, it has been serving its happy customers pan India.
“The successful acquisition of the big project by Aurobindo Pharma marked an important business turning point. We maintain consistent work relationships with India's top 10 corporations including Serum Institute of India, Divis Laboratories, Reliance Life Sciences, Pfizer and Bharat Biotech. I am very pleased to partner with these leading firms”, states Prabhakar Rao, Founder, Pnkep Tech Solutions.
Electro Polishing Excellence
The team is composed of Engineers with both B.Tech and diploma education, ITI.
Every six months, the team receives extensive training with respect to USFDA, EMA, USDA, 3A sanitary standards, cGMP, and hygienic cleanability requirements. The team members participate in one-day training sessions at their clients' facilities. The company maintains three fundamental standards, namely ASME-BPE for electro polishing within biotech, pharma, and food-grade equipment as well as ASTM A967 and ASTM B912 for electro polishing. It offers surface treatment solutions to clients for FDA and EMA audit compliance purposes along with quality maintenance efforts.
PPE kits that contain masks and acid-proof gloves must be utilized for every stage of the electro polishing process. Electro polishing actively supports the pharmaceutical, biotech and food processing sectors by treating 316L and 304, C22 stainless steel to stop corrosion. Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech maintain strict hygiene and quality standards through free equipment from contamination using electro polishing for their vaccine production reactors.
The increasing number of pharmaceutical and food processing facilities implementing CIP and SIP systems find support through electro polished surfaces. The automated or manual systems guarantee sanitary metal surfaces. The automation of CIP and SIP systems prevents contamination problems due to manual cleaning, thus delivering improved hygiene and operational efficiency to these industries.
Standards-Driven Surface Solutions
As electro polishing and passivation in biotech, pharmaceutical, and food-grade equipment manufacturing follow selected standards and guidelines, Pnkep Tech Solutions has always been at par with the changing regulatory and compliance aspects. ASME-BPE is set for electro polishing, ASTM A967 for passivation and ASTM B912 for electro polishing processes. Additionally, it complies with ASTM B913, an American standard testing method. During FDA and EMA audits, the company supports clients with surface treatment solutions, ensuring compliance with USFDA requirements and other relevant standards including ASME-BPE.
“The company strictly follows USFDA guidelines with the implementation of thorough Standard Operating Procedures and the creation of Material Safety Data Sheets for chemicals to ensure operational compliance and safety”, highlights Prabhakar.
Furthermore, pharmaceuticals and biotech operations need surface-treated materials joined with high-performance processing equipment to attain operational excellence, extended service life and regulatory standards compliance. The company produces highly smooth surfaces with 0.4-micron roughness to prevent cross-contamination between batch runs. These solutions enhance efficient CIP and SIP techniques providing corrosion resistance and minimizing process interruptions. Strong stainless steel surfaces result from sufficient electro polishing combined with chromium-based passivation.
Robust Roadmap
The company wants to be a leading in the electro polishing industry by two years as they plan to spread the use of automation, have an R&D centre, use food-grade chemicals in meeting future standards.
