Solutions for Life Sciences
EXPERTISE IN SUPPLY APPLICATIONS AND INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES
Sterility, purity and safety are top priorities in pharmaceutical and biotech processes. For long-term process stability and consistent product quality, service life, control accuracy and the interaction between supply and the process chain are equally decisive.
With more than 100 years of experience in controlling challenging industrial processes, SAMSON is today a world-leading provider of automation solutions for pharmaceutical and biotech production plants.
In-depth material expertise, defined surface treatment, cavity-free valve designs and easy drainability provide the basis for reliable, hygienic and aseptic processes as well as CIP/SIP capability. Compliance with standards such as FDA, EC 1935/2004, USP Class VI, ASME BPE and 3-A is documented via electronic nameplates and QR codes. Digital connectivity, Ethernet-APL and smart diagnostic solutions make the systems future-ready. Individually configured process solutions using proven SAMSON components are designed for a long service life – delivering precision in supply, hygiene in the process and stability in operation. All from a single source.
Process STERILITY.
CONSISTENT Safety.
Every detail counts in the pharmaceutical industry: cleanliness, purity, sterility and absolute safety are essential. Our strength lies in well-thoughtout valve engineering specifically designed for the high-sensitivity procedures in pharmaceutical processes. One example of our ingenuity is the advanced CDSA design, which ensures a reliable medium shut-off and improves the level of safety in your processes.
We use our versatile product range, in-depth expertise and specialized centers of competence to the full advantage of our customers throughout the entire life cycle.

- Device type: STERIPUR, KMA and KMD diaphragm valves
- Nominal sizes and pressures: DN 4 to 100, max. PN 16
- Temperatures from -10 to +160 °C
COMPACT Integration.
EFFICIENT Production.
Where space is scarce and process safety is crucial, multi-port valve blocks offer various benefits compared to conventional solutions. Customized systems combine between two and thirty valves in one compact unit. They are tailored to the specific requirements that exist in the customer’s plant.
Fewer pipe and welded connections reduce potential dead cavities while the surfaces in contact with the medium are minimized. At the same time, cleanability, plant layout and operational reliability are improved.
As a result, multi-port valve blocks are the preferred solution for state-of-the-art pharmaceutical and biotech plants that meet the highest standards in terms of hygiene, efficiency and compactness of design.

Ethernet-APL for the pharmaceutical production of tomorrow
A leading life sciences company systematically implemented the principles of IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things; Industry 4.0) when building a new largescale production site for biologicals and active ingredients in Europe. Several hundred smart control valves fitted with Ethernet-APL positioners were installed to set up a networked production system for the future. Consistent communication into the field level makes it possible to access process, diagnostic and configuration data almost in real time. The benefits for our customer include transparent monitoring of operating states, predictive planning of maintenance and efficient digitalization. The pioneer site is a groundbreaking example for the use of Ethernet- APL in
Innovative treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater
A plant engineering company implemented an innovative evaporation and cleaning system in a new production site for active ingredients. This system considerably reduced the amount of energy needed to treat the plant’s wastewater. The site features more than 50 customized multi-port valve blocks specifically sized for the application. Thanks to their compact design, minimal space and mounting work were needed. On top, the system is easier to clean.
This solution allows for safe and efficient operation while serving as the scalable basis for future water treatment applications in life sciences environments.
Modular solutions to generate high-purity steam
A leading solutions provider for water and high-purity media uses a tailor-made system to generate high-purity steam for pharmaceutical production. The system has a waterbath desuperheater that converts superheated steam into saturated steam, which is applied in CIP/SIP as well as to make high-purity water for injection (WFI).
Apart from valve assemblies, the system comprises turnkey control and automation solutions including control cabinets and programming. The result is an autonomous, validatable unit that fulfils the strictest requirements in terms of process safety, product quality and legal compliance.
Turnkey solutions for blood plasma production
An Asian manufacturer of biopharmaceuticals relied on the full product range of SAMSON for a new site to produce blood plasma. SAMSON supplied a wide selection of valves from a single source: from hygienic and aseptic control valves to diaphragm valves that handle critical media. This one-stop shop approach made project management much easier and streamlined the process engineering infrastructure.
