Commitment to water
JPS Pharmaceutical has been committed to health and quality. Hear from one of our factory managers about one of our commitments, water, which is indispensable for JPS Pharmaceutical’s extract production.
Kampo extracts are taken from crude drugs using hot water. In other words, the raw materials are crude drugs and water. We use select crude drugs, of course, but also select water.
Water? Is it different from tap water?
Actually, that is what JPS is particular about.
In search of clean water
Water quality fluctuates throughout the year. JPS Pharmaceutical is particular about the water used for manufacturing, and the answer we have arrived at is purifying water at our own factories. We always make clean water of constant quality to use for extraction with a water treatment system in our own factories that purify the water with RO membrane filtration.
Everywhere in the factory
All water for pharmaceutical production in our factories is computer controlled. Water filtered by the RO membrane is applied to an ion exchange membrane, sterilized by ultraviolet rays, and then circulated in each process, and it can be used as purified water according to the Japanese Pharmacopoeia at any time. In addition, the water quality (TOC, conductivity) is monitored 24 hours a day.
Not many manufacturers control the quality of extraction water as well as they do their crude drugs. This quality is the pride of JPS Pharmaceutical.
