At GSK’s pharmaceutical production sites, fine combustible powders and residues accumulate in high-level areas—posing a fire hazard and threatening cleanroom standards. Traditional cleaning methods using access equipment were disruptive and non-compliant with ATEX regulations. The need for safe, controlled dust removal in GMP-compliant spaces led GSK to seek a reliable, precision-engineered solution that met strict hygiene and safety protocols.
Combustible pharmaceutical dust in cleanrooms posed a serious fire risk and required ATEX-compliant cleaning in ultra-sensitive environments.
