Pharmaceutical Steam Sterilizer

Pharmaceutical Steam Sterilizer is widely used for the sterilization process. It performs the sterilization process by supplying dry and saturated steam under pressure into the autoclave. This high-tech machine uses steam to perform sterilization. Pharmaceutical Steam Sterilizer is used for the sterilization of surgical instruments, clothes, rubber items, plastic, metal, and glassware. However, the technical specification and features of the Pharmaceutical Steam Sterilizer depends on the manufacturer.

APPLICATIONS OF AUTOCLAVE:

• Porous materials like cotton gauge, garments, fabrics, etc.
• Closures, Vessels, Machine, Medical Instruments and change parts.
• Empty Glassware, Utensils, Instruments.
• Solutions in glass ampoules, vials & bottles.
• Filters and respective accessories.
• Solid materials

Sterilization by dry heat has become increasingly popular worldwide due to two main special factors first the need of sterilizing small objects, especially ampoules, syringes and secondly for de-pyrogenation of manufacturing apparatus which is impossible in a steam sterilizer. Dry heat sterilization and dehydrogenation process is mainly used for complete destruction and removal of all micro-organisms by means of dry heat. These stainless steel dry heat sterilizers use air as a medium of sterilization
Another advantage of this method of sterilization is that objects which are damaged by water or steam e.g. powder or ointment can be sterilized provided the heat penetrates to all parts of the substance.
APPLICATIONS:

• Empty glassware (e.g. Vials, Ampoules and bottles).
• Stainless steel and aluminium containers
• Thermo stable basic pharmaceutical products and chemical compounds.
• Non-aqueous liquid material (e.g. Oils, glycerine, etc.)
• Powders like sulphonamides and talcum powder
• Metal trays.

SALIENT FEATURES:

• Chamber is manufactured in SS316L. Fully welded with round corners.
• The doors are of hinged type, equipped with double edge seal gasket for maximum safety
• For operation, control and data acquisition a PLC is provided. HMI facilitates interface between operator and equipment.
• Equipment’s are available with single door as well as double door pass through arrangement.
• Bio seal flange to seal the equipment into the building wall can be provided
• HEPA filters are installed in the fresh air, recirculation and exhaust module. In addition, 0.5 micron “Micro B” filter is installed as a pre-filter to the Fresh Air HEPA
• Three modules for air handling
• Fresh air (air intake)
• Recirculation
• Exhaust

Rubber Stoppers Bungs (electrometric closures for drug containers) are mainly used in stoppering vials and it is necessary to sterilize these as they are in direct contact with the final product. Though the trend of using pre-sterilized bungs from the market is still prevalent, their viability is still a question, owing to the various handling & transportation issues leading to questions on sterility.
Bung Processor cum steam sterilizer enables customers to reap benefits of ‘washing and sterilizing’ from single equipment. The bungs are loaded into a ‘drum’ and later placed into the sterilizer. The entire operation is done via PLC where in the pre-set program determines the wash sequence (Eg. Detergent Wash, WFI Wash & Silicon Treatment) followed by a final sterilization using HPHV cycle. This ensures complete sterility for the bungs. These bungs can later be unloaded in “sterile pouches/ bags” and transferred to the filling room, usually under laminar air flow conditions.
Lodha has designed a unique ‘drum’ that has the capability for auto unloading of the bungs, which eliminates the intermediate ‘handling’ of bungs. Also, with expertise you can look forward to special feature like preservative & Hot Air treatment with HEPA Filters for enhanced results.
TECHNIQUE USED:

The stages of bung processing that will be addressed will be loading, washing with detergent, rinsing, siliconization, sterilization and drying.
APPLICATIONS:

Used extensively in pharma and rubber industry

This type of continuous sterilizer is a fully automated system specially designed which utilizes dry heat by means of forced convection of filtered air, through high efficiency particulate air filter to achieve sterilization and dehydrogenation of washed empty pharmaceutical glassware used of parenteral product packing
 

Ethylene Oxide Sterilizers are designed to perform low temperature, chemical sterilization treatment of medical, food and pharmaceutical products sensitive to temperature/ humidity. LODHA ETO gas Sterilizers kill the toughest of microbes but are gentle enough to protect the integrity of the product and packaging. A wide range of program options, installation arrangements and loading options increases the versatility. Whether you use external preconditioning and aeration or our unique Combined Process Systems, LODHA can offer customized solutions for your most exacting needs.
ETO Gas Sterilizers operate with a sterilant which is potentially explosive. Hence these Sterilizers incorporate design features, devices & additional means of protection in order to operate in potentially explosive atmosphere in conformity with the established parameters ensuring a very high level of protection against explosions.

Terminal sterilization provides a higher degree of sterility assurance than aseptic processing is well understood and leads regulatory agencies around the world to require that if the product can be terminally sterilized it must be. The technology of hot water sterilization with counter pressure has been developed specifically for the terminal treatment of solutions in sealed containers.
The working principle is based on automatic counter pressure by injection of compressed air into the chamber during the entire cycle, to minimize the differential pressure across the containers generated by exposure to heat. The water shower over the product ensures that a uniform temperature distribution is maintained throughout the chamber during the sterilization phase. The high rate of water circulation and the two-stage water distribution system ensures accurate and homogenous temperature distribution in the product to be sterilized. Since the water comes into physical contact with the container the heat transfer is more efficient and the process efficiency is not affected by air pockets. The pressure in the chamber is continuously adapted to the internal pressure of the containers and the entire process can be controlled easily and accurately.

A Pure Steam Generator is recommendable for the production of pure steam. Also, pure steam should be used in place of filtered plant steam. The steam produced by a pure steam generator is used for sterilization of piping distribution systems, autoclaves, vessels, and sterile room humidification. This helps in the prevention of contamination of surfaces by particulate materials or biological and organic organisms like Pyrogens which remains ineffective in the case of plant steam.

Lodha Pharma offers a pure steam generator that is designed according to standard norms. The high quality and efficient steam generator has surpassed various steam quality tests and is a piece of reliable equipment. The working of this device is based on the principle of distillation by the process of thin-film evaporation. The generator of pure steam has a complete assurance of the generation of steam at high temperature by the usage of each and every drop of water circulated into the machinery. The column from where the steam from the plant comes out has been designed with contact maintained and contains double tube sheet construction prevents the mixing of plant steam and pure steam as a backup in case of occurance of weld joint failure within the tube sheet.
