Process skids
At KeyPlants, we specialize in the design, fabrication, and qualification of process skids. From formulation and buffer preparation to bioreactors and WFI storage , we pre-assemble skids to integrate seamlessly into both new and existing facilities.
We design, fabricate, install and qualify process skids and systems for:
Aseptic formulation, holding and filling of liquids
We design and deliver skid systems for aseptic formulation and filling processes, ensuring sterility and compliance with cGMP.
Human plasma processing systems
KeyPlants design systems for the fractionation and purification of human plasma-derived products.
Media and buffer preparation skids
Media and buffer preparation skids are engineered cleanliness, accuracy, and integration into upstream and downstream bioprocessing.
CIP and SIP Skids
Designed to ensure efficient cleaning and sterilization, CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) units are configured to support critical biopharma and aseptic manufacturing environments.
WFI Tanks
WFI (Water for Injection) tanks are pre-assembled and factory-tested, delivering reliable, hygienic storage and distribution.
Mobile Vessels
We design a range of mobile vessels for pharmaceutical synthesis, biomanufacturing and other liquid processing purposes. For stand-alone usage or for integration with fixed systems.
From skids to complete production facilities
KeyPlants design and delivers more than just process skids - we execute full facility projects that include utility skids, process systems, and complete buildings with cleanrooms and automation integrated.

Whether it’s for a standalone system or part of a larger facility, we ensure reliable logistics, regulatory alignment, and rapid on-site installation.
FAQ
FAQ
What is a process skid?
A process skid is a self-contained, pre-assembled system that includes all necessary components—such as piping, valves, instruments, and control systems—mounted on a frame. It is designed for easy transport, installation, and integration into a larger facility.
What are the benefits of using process skids in pharmaceutical manufacturing?
Process skids offer reduced on-site installation time, improved quality through offsite testing (FAT), scalability, and easier validation for GMP compliance. They also minimize production downtime during upgrades or expansions.
Can KeyPlants customize process skids to fit specific requirements?
Yes, we design skids to meet each client’s technical specifications, production needs, and regulatory requirements. We offer complete engineering, fabrication, and qualification services.
Are KeyPlants' process skid designs compliant with international regulations?
Yes, we engineer skids to meet global GMP standards and can be adapted to meet specific regulatory requirements in different markets, including FDA, EMA, and WHO guidelines.
What types of process skids does KeyPlants design and deliver?
We provide skids for aseptic formulation, buffer and media prep, CIP/SIP, WFI storage, plasma processing, and more. Each skid is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing plant, alternatively as a part of KeyPlants delivery of a prefabricated modular facility.
