Steam air autoclave for pharmaceutical industry
Ensure precise sterilization of sensitive pharmaceutical products while maintaining package integrity with an advanced steam air autoclave, optimizing cycle times and enhancing process reliability in critical applications.

Sterilizes and Conditions Pharmaceutical Liquid Products
The Steristeam Air Steam Autoclave from Steriflow is engineered for precision in sterilizing pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products, such as vaccine vials, pre-filled syringes, and saline solution bags. Its unique cascade water system ensures uniform temperature distribution, reducing cycle time and energy usage. Equipped with a powerful fan for effective heat transfer, it incorporates MPI technology for real-time monitoring and control, facilitating seamless integration into high-speed, automated production lines. Pre-heating and cooling phases are efficiently managed with adjustable steam injection and water level control via a radar system. Made with durable materials like stainless steel to withstand corrosive environments, the autoclave meets GMP and FDA compliance standards, making it ideal for critical medical applications. Optional configurations and expert engineering support are available to meet specific operational needs. Cleaning is simplified with a built-in CIP system, ensuring minimal downtime and maintenance.
