Bioprocess Equipment
Biotech machinery : from first prototype to series production.
From prototype to production-ready equipment
Most biotech technologies don't fail in the lab. They stall on the way to industrial production. Equans engineers, builds and qualifies the automated equipment your process needs, in-house in Belgium and designed for GMP use. For over ten years, our biotech machinery teams have helped innovators and OEMs turn complex processes into production-ready systems, from first prototype to series production. Your technology stays yours.
Bioprocess equipment built for critical processes
We are an industrialisation partner, not a catalogue supplier. We don't do your science: we build the tool that respects it. Our teams combine mechanics, electrical engineering, automation, robotics, instrumentation and software to deliver custom biotech machinery for bioprocessing, cell and gene therapy, aseptic processing and lab automation. Every machine is designed for GMP use, according to GAMP 5, and built to scale.

Let's talk industrialisation. Book a 30-minute industrialisation review with our engineers.
For who?
For innovators scaling up under GMP pressure. For teams whose process is ready, but whose equipment is not. And for partners who need a reliable workshop to build their own designs.
Biotech
innovators
Companies industrialising new processes like mRNA, cell and gene therapies.
OEMs & technology platforms
A co-engineering partner or a build-to-print workshop to industrialise and manufacture your machines in series.
Pharma engineering & CAPEX leaders
Engineering and CAPEX leaders facing scale-up under strict GMP constraints
One team, from first specification to lifecycle support
One dedicated team guides your project from first specification to lifecycle support, with one business and technical point of contact throughout.
From first prototype to series production, we design for manufacturing, build your equipment in-house and carry out FAT, SAT and commissioning, qualification documentation included. For your installed base, you choose: we service it, or we train your teams to do it.

Frequently asked questions about Bioprocess Equipment
Do you have questions about our Bioprocess Equipment solutions and related services? We are here to explain everything clearly and simply.
Can't find what you're looking for?
You do. Project-specific developments are transferred to you. Equans keeps its own background know-how and grants you the rights to use, maintain and reproduce your equipment.
Yes. Besides end-to-end development, we manufacture complete machines or sub-assemblies to your design in our own workshop. You keep your design; we bring industrial build quality and compliance.
Designed from day one for regulated environment, series production. Ready for GMP use, following GAMP 5 under the EU Machinery Directive.
Our systems are designed to support 21 CFR Part 11 requirements (audit trail, electronic records and signatures)'. Part 11 compliance is established by the client's validation and procedures, not by the machine alone.
Each client gets a dedicated, confidential area in our modular workshop. All projects run under strict non-disclosure agreements.
Among others: bioreactor vessels, media preparation, harvest, filtration and purification units, buffer preparation, filling and decontamination stations. We also master utilities such as purified water, WFI, pure steam, gas distribution, CIP and SIP.
We work with your automation standard. Our engineers have extensive experience with Siemens TIA Portal or Rockwell (PLC) and AVEVA System Platform (SCADA), combined with robotics, eBatch recording and LIMS integration.
We design and build in Fleurus, Belgium, in a workshop of around 610 m². Our machines are delivered and commissioned for customers around the world.
Yes. We offer preventive maintenance, upgrades, spare parts management and after-sales service, backed by our reliability engineering team.
