With more than 30 years of experience in boilermaking, SOFAST offers a wide range of storage and preparation tanks for pharmaceutical liquids that can meet all types of URS.

A large range of tanks from up to 8,000 liters

In order to meet your constraints of use and implementation, SOFAST offers custom-made solutions for the design, manufacturing and integration of your process tanks.

Preparation, storage & transfer: many critical phases to control to ensure the quality of your products.

The manufacturing of our tanks is entirely realized in our workshops thus allowing to keep the total control of all the stages of its execution.

  1. Design and study following analysis of your needs
    • Function: storage, preparation, transfer, formulation, CIP/SIP
    • Useful capacity
    • Type of products (liquid, ATEX compliance…)
    • A large range of tanks:
      • Mobile or fixed, simple, with instrumentation or agitation to create an emulsion or keep matters in suspension
      • Single or double wall
      • Insulated
      • Fitted with weighing systems
      • With integrated CIP/SIP
  2. Supply (matters, components and instrumentations) and strict control of materials to guarantee quality and traceability
  3. Pharmaceutical manufacturing meeting the highest standards
    • Choice of stainless steels according to products and processes
    • Atmospheric or pressure tanks that can be cleaned or sterilized in place
    • Mastery of specificities and material finishes: different grades of stainless steel, mechanical or electrolytic polishing (roughness: Ra 0.2 μm)
    • Compliance with cGMP requirements
  4. FAT/SAT protocols
  5. IQ/OQ qualifications performed on site as per protocol validated by the final Customer
