Superheated water sterilizer for large volume parenterals
When sterilizing large volumes of liquid products, achieving precise temperature control and uniformity is essential. This superheated water solution ensures effective sterilization while maintaining the integrity of heat-sensitive contents, making it ideal for high-demand production environments.

Sterilizes and Dries Heat-Sensitive Liquid Products
The FOW Superheated Water Sterilizer from Fedegari offers a precise counterpressure sterilization solution designed for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical challenges, as well as food and cosmetic applications. This autoclave uniquely stands out by utilizing a superheated water spray system that ensures thorough sterilization for sensitive products, such as large volume parenterals and canned food goods, without compromising container integrity. Ideal for processing IV saline solutions, injectable insulin, and canned tomato sauces, it integrates seamlessly into both batch and continuous operations. With capacities customizable between 830 to 14,800 liters, it efficiently handles various load sizes and production demands. The automation is enhanced with Fedegari’s Thema4 process controller, which supports quick integration with existing SCADA and MES systems, ensuring compliance with cGMP and FDA regulations. Constructed from durable 316Ti stainless steel, the FOW sterilizer offers optimal corrosion resistance and hygiene maintenance. For energy efficiency, it features process optimization strategies that reduce cycle times compared to traditional air-steam methods. The equipment’s design also accommodates easy validation and includes advanced control features, like five RTD PT100 probes for precise temperature monitoring and exclusive airtight door gaskets.
