A sieve or screener is an essential part of every pharmaceutical production process, particularly as product quality and integrity are so important.

It therefore ensures that ingredients and finished products are quality assured during production and before use or dispatch. Rob O’Connell at Russell Finex explains that the design of sieving equipment has had to undergo radical changes in recent years to overcome the new demands of companies manufacturing pharmaceuticals.
