Sterilization Tunnel

The depyrogenation tunnel ensures the continuous sterilization and depyrogenation of glass containers, including vials of type R or type H, through the use of filtered high-temperature air (maximum 350°C) in laminar flow conditions. By uniformly increasing the heat, the air laps the containers vertically, resulting in a sterilization process that is completed in a shorter amount of time.input:
output:Technical SpecificationsDeveloped and produced in accordance with the most recent FDA regulations and GMP standards.Appropriate for all glass containers

Containers are constructed with contact parts composed of AISI 316L stainless steel and a robust AISI 304 frame.

IN/OUT gates that are automatically adjustable
HEPA filters with DPT control and adjustable speed fans with air speed controlInternal pressures are automatically balanced.

Heating modulation, thermal insulation, and heat recoveryBacterial reduction up to log 6 and temperature set point up to 350°CLow energy consumption
Dimensions are compact, with a maximum height of less than 2 meters.Accessibility and simplicity of maintenanceLow noise (below 75 dBA)PLC/HMI control and process recording that are compliant with CFR21 Part 11Maximum production capacity is 350 kg/h.Air/water cooling batteries, automatic unloading, and sterilization of the cooling room are among the available options.input:
output:Three zones comprise the Tunnel:input:
output:Zone of infeed

The tunnel entrance is safeguarded from external contamination by a vertical laminar flow, which also prevents the escape of hot air. The air is prefiltered and HEPA filtered before flowing over the vials in a laminar flow at a speed of approximately 0.4 to 0.5 m/s, as determined by the air speed measurement.input:
output:Zone of depyrogenation

The chamber is constructed with a stainless steel shell that is externally shielded by ceramic insulation materials that have been approved.
