Depyrogenating tunnel for glass containers
Ensure the sterility of injectable medications by achieving reliable endotoxin reduction with continuous depyrogenation and thermal treatment, protecting your pharmaceutical products from contamination risks.

Removes Endotoxins from Glass Containers
The BLUE GALAXY Depyrogenation Tunnel from IMA Life is engineered for continuous sterilization and depyrogenation in pharmaceutical applications, effectively removing endotoxins from glass containers and ensuring sterility for injectable medications. It employs a dry heat process with advanced thyristor-controlled heating systems to optimize energy consumption. Designed for high-speed, automated operations, it integrates seamlessly into existing production lines handling glass vials, ampoules, and pre-filled syringes. Its automated unloading procedure, flexible PLC or PC configurations, and patent-pending dry-heat sterilization of the cooling zone enhance process efficiency and repeatability. The tunnel’s construction supports effective thermal treatment and air balancing while maintaining compliance with GMP standards. Additionally, it offers sustainable features like air recirculation and night mode, reducing energy use during off-peak hours. Optional configurations and technical support ensure tailored solutions for diverse pharmaceutical manufacturing needs.
