Industrial-grade Allen Bradley or Siemens PLC control systems provide superior operational reliability and cycle repeatability. The control systems are developed under the latest GAMP (Good Automated Manufacturing Practices) guidelines to ensure system reliability and ease in validation. The control system is also supported with a comprehensive documentation package.
The control system can configure and store 20 sterilizing cycles, which are accessed via a large touch screen operator interface terminal. In double door units, operator interface terminals are mounted on both the load and unload side of the sterilizer. All sterilizer functions are accessed through these screens and are secured by multi-level authentication. If electronic data storage is desired, the control system can be provided with 21 CFR part 11 compliance. Printers and recorders can also be equipped for physical data storage on paper.
BMT USA manufactures stainless steel loading equipment in standard or custom designs to accommodate loads of any size, shape or weight. Our smaller chamber sizes can be equipped with wire or perforated shelves and loading racks, while larger chambers can be equipped with carts and transfer trolleys.
Large pit-mounted chambers include options for tracks and rub rails that can be designed to work with the wheel configuration of your existing equipment. Carts with drop down wheels are available for rooms with limited space.Rapid terminal sterilization for liquids in sealed containers that are heat or pressure-sensitive
Purified water is circulated by a high capacity pump through an external heat exchanger that is heated by plant steam. The water is then evenly distributed through a perforated tray over the load. The efficient heat transfer properties of water allows for rapidly heating the load.
Compressed air at an over-pressure is simultaneously injected into the chamber to compensate for the rising temperature and pressure that builds inside the product containers, preventing damage or deformation.
At the end of the cycle, the water is cooled by an external heat exchanger using cooling or chilled water. The cooled circulating water is continuously sprayed over the load, quickly bring the temperature back to ambient.
