Vacuum transfer system with integrated cleaning
Ensure sterile powder handling and contamination-free production with vacuum transfer systems offering integrated washing, cleaning, and sterilization, making them essential for maintaining the purity of active ingredients in pharmaceutical and chemical processes.

Transfers, Cleans, Dries, and Sterilizes Powders
The VTS Vacuum Conveyor with WIP/CIP/SIP from AGIERRE is engineered to ensure the highest standards of cleanliness and contamination prevention in powder handling. Designed for pharmaceutical and chemical applications, this system efficiently transfers, cleans, dries, and sterilizes various powders, including pharmaceutical tablets and APIs. Its integrated Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) and Steam-In-Place (SIP) modules ensure thorough internal cleaning using spray nozzles and superheated steam, crucial for sterile production environments. The system’s flexibility allows it to seamlessly integrate into automated production lines, with pneumatic or PLC control options that align with cGMP and UNI EN ISO standards. Additionally, its innovative design prevents residue accumulation, significantly enhancing product purity and safety. Customizable features are available to meet specific operational requirements, ensuring a perfect fit within your production environment.
