Where the medicine is made
Oral solid dosage
Facilities for granulation, compression, coating and packing, with segregated flows, dust and cross-contamination control, and HVAC zoning matched to each process room.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
What we design
- Dust containment & pressure regimes
- Dispensing-to-packing material flow
- Cross-contamination control for multi-product
An OSD plant is a dust problem solved with air and layout. Every step from dispensing to packing generates powder, so rooms are zoned by what they release, pressure regimes are set to contain rather than simply to clean, and the material route runs one way through the building so nothing crosses back.
Typical zones
| Area | Designed for |
|---|---|
| Dispensing | Contained weighing under captured airflow, negative to the corridor |
| Granulation & drying | Wet and dry steps with dust extraction and washable finishes |
| Compression & coating | Room-by-room pressure regimes sized to the dust each step releases |
| Blending & IPC | Intermediate storage and in-process control close to the line |
| Packing & warehouse | Comfort-conditioned, separated from the open-product rooms |
Decisions we settle early
Single or multi-product
Whether the plant runs one product family or several decides the segregation and cleaning strategy.
Containment level
The potency of what you handle sets the containment approach and the pressure regime in every room.
One-way material flow
The dispensing-to-packing route, fixed early, so clean and dirty paths never cross.
The disciplines behind it
Every discipline this facility type depends on is designed and coordinated in-house, by one team.
- Architecture & GMP layoutSpace planning, cleanroom construction, wall/ceiling/floor systems, doors and pass-throughs, and the flows that keep contamination out.
- Process & equipmentPFDs, fully annotated P&IDs, equipment specification, sizing and layout.
- HVAC & air handlingAHU-wise ducting, supply and return balancing, pressure cascades and area classification.
Let’s design it right.
From the first concept sketch to an issued-for-construction package, Agon designs pharmaceutical facilities that meet the highest international standards. We would welcome the conversation.
