Depyrogenation tunnel for pharmaceutical vials
Achieve reliable sterility with fully automated depyrogenation tunnels, ensuring seamless vial processing while eliminating contamination risks.
Sterilizes and Depyrogenates Pharmaceutical Vials
The Hull i-Dositecno Depyrogenation Tunnel from ATS Scientific Products offers a cutting-edge solution for pharmaceutical manufacturers seeking seamless sterilization and pyrogen removal. With a design that supports continuous operation, it transports vials from washing to sterilization and into a cleanroom without manual handling, reducing contamination risk. Operating at 320°C, it achieves undetectable pyrogen levels within a minute, with throughput exceeding 700 vials per minute. This equipment supports sterile injectable production, including vaccine and biologic vials, and is fully compliant with cGMP standards. Featuring PLC-controlled automation and SCR heating elements, it ensures consistent temperature and minimized energy consumption. The modular design allows flexibility for small and large batches, with gates ensuring chamber segmentation for optimal sterility. Designed with ease of maintenance in mind, it includes self-cleaning capabilities and HEPA filter integrity testing for consistent performance.
