Sterilization pilot systems for small batch heat treatment
Optimize product safety and quality in small batch production with precise heat treatment technology, ensuring consistent sterilization results and maintaining the integrity of diverse liquid formulations.

Sterilizes and Heat Treats Liquid Formulations
The Sterilization Pilot from ACTINI offers a reliable solution for pharmaceutical and food processing sectors, designed to precisely heat treat and sterilize liquids with varying viscosities. Utilizing ACTINI’s patented all-electric Actijoule technology, this aseptic tubular heat exchanger provides controlled temperature treatment from 60°C to 150°C, ensuring no risk of product degradation. With adjustable flow rates between 20 and 500 liters per hour, it suits a wide range of applications including product testing, sterilization validation, and shelf-life testing. Ideal for small batch production, it integrates seamlessly into R&D and pilot operations. Its dual pumping skid and semi-automatic operation optimize handling diverse viscosities. This system is available for rental or purchase, providing flexibility for in-house or on-site testing, complete with cycle management and CIP/SIP cycles for easy maintenance.
