  • Free your safety and clinical teams to focus on what matters most.

  • When AST came to the table on the design for our new fill-finish isolator, one of the first areas AST engineers wanted to address was the usability and accessibility of the isolator and corresponding operations. With our customers’ point of view in mind, we wanted to address specific points of friction routinely encountered by operators and closely examine whether those friction points were necessary.

    Does an isolator need to be ergonomically unfriendly to clean?

    Should simple mechanisms like isolator doors be challenging to engage? (As much as one can appreciate exercise, no one wants to do “arm day” in cleanroom coveralls).

    Does routine maintenance have to be time-consuming and laborious?

    Many of these factors are accepted as par for the course in aseptic fill-finish manufacturing. Our question was, why?

  • Take advantage of our end-to-end DMPK expertise for optimizing compounds from discovery through IND filing for small and large molecules

  • Every capsule and tablet begins with an idea. It takes a professional and innovative manufacturing partner to turn that idea into a reality. Enter Natoli, a name synonymous with excellence in pharmaceutical equipment and services. From the early stages of formulation to the grand scale of full-blown production, Natoli offers a seamless journey through every step of the process. Whether you’re unsure of how to start or how to finish, Natoli can guide the way.

ABOUT

Spray Nozzles
Spray nozzles are a conceptually simple device with a very important purpose in the petrochemical industry. While designs are rarely the same, they operate under the same concepts. A spray nozzle disperses contents that are under pressure in a more even manner than otherwise possible. Sometimes they are used for the purpose if increasing the surface area of a desired liquid substance.
The head of the spray nozzle consists of several flow or drip points that will determine how fine the mist that emerges will be. The more flow points there are, the finer the mist will be. However, flow points are not the only factor. The pressure put on the spray nozzle will greatly affect the stream of mist. Depending on the usage, the function may require a low flow rate or a high flow rate.
Uses in the petrochemical industry usually include injecting additives to the product, creating a fire protection and prevention system for the plant, and cooling systems.  They can also be used for gas scrubbing, which is the process of removing any contaminants that the oil may have accumulated during the refinement process.
Materials used to make petrochemical spray nozzles are often alloyed with other metals to ensure that they provide the correct weight, performance, and durability required by the refinery. Common metal alloys used are brass and stainless steel.
Petrochemical spray nozzles are crucial to the refining process.
