The HWS T Series is the same as the HWS Series, including the ability
to wash,
sterilize and dry aluminum trays from lyophilizers which have
residues from the
lyophilization process. HUBER has patented the
cleaning process with Direct
Impact Cleaning, CIP and /or SIP
which insures that the residues are not baked onto the aluminum
trays.
The Model HWS T is a hybrid pharmaceutical quality
autoclave
with a stopper washer sterilizer capability for rubber stoppers and rubber
articles of the pharmaceutical and technical elastomer
industry.
The tray
holding devices are
designed for standard trays and can also
hold bottomless trays. HUBER can also
custom design tray holding
devices for special trays. Only cleaned and sterilized trays can enter
the sterile suite.
Autoclave to sterilize metal parts for aseptic
manufacture, filters and
porous goods among others.
The pressure chambers and pressure vessels are
manufactured in
Switzerland. The Swiss factory has robotic welding and x-ray
capabilities as well as orbital clamp welding machines for the
pipework. The
Swiss factory is ISO 9001 certified.
The tray holding devices capacity ranges from 22 trays to
86 trays and can
also include gates and clips of the trays. The pressure chamber volumes range
from 1080 to 1800 liters. The pressure vessel is designed according to
ASME code, PED97-23-EG
(Pressure Equipment Directive),
Regulation Rules AD2000 and other codes.
The HWS T has several process control
alternatives.
SAIA PLC with WS
8450 - which consists of a
PLC, PC with
color screen, keyboard and color printer.
Allen Bradley LOGIX
- which
consists of a PLC, PC with color
screen, keyboard and color printer.
Because
the drive is outside the autoclave chamber and
the seal meets all sections of the most stringent hygiene
requirements of
the FDA, no metal abrasion is possible
inside, as with gear drives.
Only
this mechanical seal meets the current FDA
requirements and guarantees sterility during pressure
and vacuum including leak test.
There are no
mechanically moving parts during the process,
and no metal abrasion, only highly cleaning turbulence
of
DIRECT IMPACT CLEANING, washing each tray
individually.
Optimal
temperatures during each process step, max.
uniformity of temperatures during sterilization by patented
system of steam inlet and distribution.
Effective
vacuum drying with immediate removal of water
drops from the trays through turning of the tray
holding device
with the trays (patented) providing fast drying
of the trays.
Loading
from non-sterile side. Ergonomic unloading at
sterile side of the whole tray holding device on
request.
Anti-pyrogen
piping of "no weld techniques' and valves.
Anti-pyrogen
walls of inner surfaces from chamber, mirror finish.
Machine
design complying with GMP, WHO and FDA
standards, as well as YOUR requirements.
