Ventipro

cGMP Steam-Air Mixture Terminal Sterilizers

Ventipro steam-air mixture sterilizers provide fast, safe and effective terminal sterilization of liquids in open, sealed or heat sensitive containers. Pure steam is utilized inside the chamber for heating the liquids and over-pressure filtered air is injected into the chamber to compensate for the rising temperature and pressure that builds inside the liquid container. Internal fans mix the chamber steam and air to ensure there are no cold pockets and to provide uniform temperature distribution. Rapid heating and cooling is achieved utilizing convection principles. At the end of the cycle, the product leaves the chamber dry and ready for labeling.

Engineered for efficiency, reliability & serviceability

Steam-Air Mixture fan assembly for GMP Steam Sterilizers

High Performance Fans

High performance fans intensify the streaming of the steam-air mixture through the chamber and around the load. The fan wheel and all components mounted inside the chamber are constructed of 316L stainless steel. The motor is installed outside the chamber and connected to the fan wheel with a unique sealing system that simplifies inspections and maintenance.

Key Features:

Sanitary Stainless

The chamber, chamber door, sanitary piping and fittings are all constructed of 100% 316L stainless steel.

Regulatory Compliance

Designed and built in compliance with US FDA cGMP, Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP) and US FDA CFR 21 Part 11.

Rapid Heating & Cooling

Faster heating and cooling times than conventional sterilizers with precise temperature distribution.

Energy Efficient

The chamber and all piping are fully insulated to help reduce utility consumption.

PLC Controls

Industrial-grade Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC-based control systems deliver repeatable operation.

Non-Proprietary

Fully constructed with high-grade non-proprietary components for improved reliability and serviceability.

Lubricant-Free Door Gasket

Lubricant-free door gaskets provide greater longevity and eliminate particle shedding into clean rooms.

Easy Maintenance

Unique sealing of the fan shaft allows for ease in inspection and maintenance.

Ventipro Terminal Sterilization Cycles

Ventipro sterilizers can be programmed with steam-air mixture terminal sterilization cycles with configurable parameters for each cycle phase. The programmed cycle recipe is stored in the sterilizer’s control system memory and is recalled and started with the touch of a button on the operator interface. All recipes are also protected from unauthorized changes via a multi-level authentication system.

Steam-Air Mixture Cycle

The cycle begins with filling the chamber to a predetermined level with purified water.  The water is circulated by a high capacity pump through an external heat exchanger that is heated by plant steam.  The water is distributed through a perforation tray onto the product.  Due to the efficient heat transfer of the water, the product is heated rapidly.  Compressed air at an over-pressure is injected into the chamber to compensate for the rising temperature and pressure that builds inside liquid containers when heated.  At the end of the exposure step, cooling begins.  The circulating water is cooled by an external heat exchanger that is cooled with cooling or chilled water.  The load is quickly cooled to ambient temperature by continuously being sprayed with the circulating water. This method of sterilization is the fastest method for sterilization of liquids in sealed containers.

Sterilizer Loading Equipment

BMT USA manufactures stainless steel loading equipment in standard or custom designs to accommodate any type of load. Our smaller chamber sizes can be equipped with wire or perforated shelves or loading racks, while large chambers can be equipped with loading carts and transfer trolleys. Large pit-mounted chamber include options for tracks and rub rails that can be designed to work with almost any type of wheel configuration on existing equipment. Carts with drop down wheels are also available for rooms with limited space.

Ventipro Chamber Sizes

Ventipro steam-air mixture terminal sterilizers are offered in a range of chamber sizes and volumes. The table below contains some of our standard models; however, we can design and build a customized solution to match your exact chamber capacity, exterior dimension, and mounting requirements.
