Sterilization tunnel TSL

for the pharmaceutical industrydepyrogenation

depyrogenation tunnel guarantees the continuous sterilization and depyrogenation of glass containers such as vials, type R or type H, by means of filtered high temperature air (max 350°C) in laminar flow conditions. The air laps vertically the containers, with uniform increase of the heat, achieving a shorter time sterilization process. Technical Characteristics Designed and manufactured according to current GMP standards and FDA rules Suitable for all glass containers Containers contact parts made of AISI 316L stainless steel and strong AISI 304 frame Automatic adjustable IN/OUT gates HEPA filters with DPT control and adjustable speed fans with air speed control Automatic balancing of internal pressures Thermal insulation and heat recovery, heating modulation Temperature set-point up to 350°C and bacterial reduction up to log 6 Low consumption Small dimensions (maximum height less than 2 meters) Ease of maintenance and accessibility Low noise (below 75 dBA) CFR21 Part 11 compliant PLC/HMI control and process recording Production up to 350 kg/h Available options: air/water cooling batteries, cooling room sterilization, automatic unloading The Tunnel consists of three zones: Infeed zone A vertical laminar flow protects the tunnel entrance from the external contamination, and avoids the coming out of the hot air. The air is prefiltered, HEPA filtered and then flows over the vials in laminar condition, at a speed adjusted around to 0,4 – 0,5 m/s, with air speed measurement. Depyrogenation zone The chamber is made by stainless steel shell, externally protected by approved insulation materials (ceramic).
