Pharmaceutical and biotech firms rely on transparent insight into the process stream to maintain regulatory compliance and enhance product quality. Sight glass ports and fittings facilitate crucial process observation within pharmaceutical processing tanks, enabling operators to monitor critical production stages and assess factors like chemical reactions, mixing, purity, and consistency. Equipment and components engineered for sanitary applications ensure consistent yield and final product quality.

Engineered for Stringent Hygienic Standards
LJ Star has been a trusted provider of equipment to numerous pharmaceutical companies for more than two decades, aiding in quality assurance and operational efficiency. A wide range of products adheres to stringent industry standards, including cGMP and FDA guidelines, for seamless and confident integration into pharmaceutical processing operations.
LJ Star process observation equipment and hygienic union end cap sight windows meet ASME-BPE standards for smooth, crevice-free surfaces to discourage bioburdens. All products have electro-polish finish and are suitable for CIP/SIP cleaning. Hygienic design includes FDA compliant gaskets, and pharmaceutical-grade METAGLAS® fused sight glasses, engineered to minimize the risk of product contamination. Specifically, METAGLAS meets USP Type 1 glass standard for pharmaceutical use. In addition, the tri-clamp sight glass can withstand extreme temperatures (up to 536° F) and high-pressure conditions.
Hygienic bubble traps feature a customized, installation-friendly design, to enable processors to remove air pockets during the chromatography phase. Available accessories such as LED sight glasses provide greater visibility, and advanced camera systems enable comprehensive remote monitoring and control. These are available with explosion-proof (EX) ratings to supply protection in highly combustible environments.
All components, from the glass in the window to clamps and gaskets are designed to meet customer requirements for:
- Traceability
- Chemical compatibility
- Custom solutions
