Material handling and motion control products with special design features for sterile environments, when keeping it clean is a top priority.
The pharmaceutical industry requires a clean working environment where contamination can be catastrophic. At EMC we’ve developed a range of hoists and conveyor products designed to meet the needs for pharmaceutical applications.
At EMC, our Columbus McKinnon powered Dorner and Garvey brands offer pharmaceutical conveyor systems designed with precision and control in mind. To meet pharmaceutical companies’ application needs – like high-speed bottle filling or vials containing liquids or lyophilized drugs – these conveyor systems need to maintain a clean environment.
EMC powered by Columbus McKinnon offers a complete line of clean room hoists and rigging and conveyor solutions designed to meet the needs of the food and beverage industries. With options including stainless steel chain and hooks, FDA approved finishes, and food-grade chain lubricants, we have everything you need to move and lift your goods.
Temperature-sensitive products, such as vaccines, serums, and tests, typically spend 24-48 hours out of the cold chain during packaging. This temperature excursion can reduce the potency and efficacy of critical medicines. Garvey’s automatic vial drying system can be used to reduce the time out of the cold chain to as little as five minutes. By combining our patented pressureless loop technology with a high-volume laminar flow accumulator, this innovative system enables vials to be dried and single-filed to labelers or inspection machines at a rate of 900 vials per minute, the fastest out-feed rate in the industry.
Made of welded stainless steel and FDA-approved belting and plastic components, Dorner's sanitary pharmaceutical conveyors are designed for fast, safe sanitation in any environment. For effective sanitation and less downtime, AquaPruf® models can be disassembled in less than two minutes without tools, so they are 100% accessible for cleaning. In addition to allowing for daily high-pressure washdowns with chlorinated cleaners, this unique design makes AquaPruf® easy to wipe down.
Dorner’s FlexMove series provides tremendous benefits to fulfillment and packaging applications within the pharmaceutical space. FlexMove conveyors deliver a straightforward and compact design while maximizing floor space and minimizing noise, maintenance and space.

Garvey's Infinity Rx Accumulator provides a high-speed, no-pressure conveyor system for accumulating medications at previously impossible speeds. Tailored specifically for pharmaceutical applications, this machine flawlessly handles products, such as vials, which are prone to instability and damage on typical conveyors. With its capacity to accumulate and single file 2 mL and 3 mL vials at over 800 vials per minute, it far surpasses any other single filer on the market.
As one of the smallest aluminum frame conveyors on the market, Dorner's 1100 series line of conveyors is ideal for handling small parts in the pharmaceutical industry. The frame height of this conveyor is only 3/4", making it an ideal choice for conveying product through machinery, and for small product transfers between steps in the production line. The system includes three FDA-approved belting options, a Clean Room Class 100 certification, and backlighting for inspection and quality control.
Vial drying solutions from Garvey help pharmaceutical companies preserve the cold chain by reducing the time it takes to inspect and label vials during packaging. Learn more about our automatic vial drying systems and other cold chain packaging solutions.
This breakthrough solution allows pharmaceutical manufacturers to simultaneously load, accumulate, and lane products. This solution combines tray loading with accumulation to eliminate a common bottleneck on pharmaceutical manufacturing lines.
