Transfer valve cleaning for sterility assurance
Ensuring the cleanliness and sterility of transfer valves is crucial in aseptic manufacturing. Contaminants and residues pose significant risks, requiring thorough and effective cleaning processes to maintain safety and compliance.
Enhances cleaning efficacy and reduces contamination risk
The Active Cleaning Cap from Chargepoint Technology is a specialized accessory designed for efficient in-place cleaning and decontamination of the Active half of Split Butterfly Valve (SBV) systems. This device maximizes the surface area exposed to cleaning media by a unique sealing methodology on its outer perimeter, eliminating the need for typical seat/disc components that hinder cleaning efficacy. Various configurations cater to WIP (Wash In Place), SIP (Steam/Sterilize In Place), and CIP (Clean In Place) processes, adapting to different installation orientations and specific process needs like draining and venting. By employing a liquid and gas-tight seal via an o-ring, the cap allows in-place opening and closing of the valve within a sealed environment, ensuring effective cleaning without operator exposure. Suitable for use in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries, the cap supports applications requiring stringent sterility and safety standards. The accessory is pressure-rated and available in sizes up to 200mm, with special features like a hygienic tri-clamp connection and optional integrated spray ball for enhanced cleaning performance.
