The Sterilization tunnel is designed for depyrogenation of glass containers under 100Class (Class 5, EN ISO 14644-1) environment of Federal Standard 209.
The circulation of the hot air in the sterilizing tunnel is designed to guarantee a pyrogen reduction as to 3-D in accordance with the following formula:
With the reference trail of E. Coli endotoxins, the D-value is 5 minutes and the Z-value is 46.4 °C. D-value is defined as the time required to reduce 1-log pyrogens at 250°C. The Z-value is defined as the temperature increment to change the D-value by a factor of 10. The containers are transffered to a heating zone for 15 minutes treatment at 250 °C to reach the pyrogen reduction target of endotoxin inactivation by 3-D. (or 5 minutes at 300°C)
The pre-heating section acts as a thermal barrier between the container washing area and the heating section, where containers dried by class 100 hot laminar flow air controlled by differential pressure gauge, Type Magnehelic 2000 (air velocity 0.6-0.7m/s) filtered by H13 HEPA filter (H14 as option) (Dimension 457 × 762 × 150mm).
New sterile air will be maked up by a pre-filter from the washing area.The exhaust fan discharges the moisture out of the tunnel and maintains the air-balance in the tunnel. The air pressure in this section is 28Pa. (Absolute value)
There are three proximity switches at the entrance of the tunnel which control the speed of conveyor belt as per the output of the upstream washing machine. As soon as the container is (almost) full of the pre-heating section,the machine will give a signal to upstream machine to slow down..
In the heating section containers are treated by the recirculated cleaning air under H13 HEPA filter (Dimension 762 x 762 x 150mm) for sterilization and depyrogenation with air velocity 0.7-0.8m/s. Air distribution is even.
Heating section equips with ceramic fibers (asbestos-free) insulation and can be heated up to temperature of 350°C （400℃ for temporarily）.Heating element is made of nichrome, controlled by SCR (Silicon Control Rectifier). There are more than Eight (standard version) Pressure gauge to monitor the differential pressureof HEPA filters; Environment and Heating inchamber (Ra≤0.4μm); Filling room and Washing room; and etc.(Type Magnehelic 2000).
Five PT100 sensors have been equipped in the heating section, Three for monitoring the temperature of heating section, One above the HEPA filter for alarming and protect the HEPA. One in the center for recording the data.
The temperature distribution is ±5℃ （empty load）The data can be saved and printed out as follows:
(Smooth Temperature Curve)
(Heating Section)
The Recirculated cooling air (with water cooling function or sterilization function, please refer to the below picture) reduces the containers’ temperature to 25-35ºC. The air velocity is typically 0.6-0.7m/s. The dimension of the H13 HEPA filter is 762 x 762 x 150mm. The air pressure in this section is 30Pa. (Absolute value)
.
(In Standard version, air is 100% discharged by the blower after reducing the containers’ temperature.)
(With Water cooling system or sterilizetion function)
Control and display of overpressure in the cooling section, for stable operation of the sterilizing tunnel in case of pressure fluctuations between the washing room and the filling room. Alarm and machine will stop if overpressure above to 15 Pa from filling room. If surpassed, an additional exhaust system(blower) will be required.
Under the circumstance of the positive pressure of the tunnel, we switch off the heating system but keep the fans running at a setting value. This function save the energy and consumptions effectively and can be automatically switch the mode after the duty off.
The cooling coil is made of silver-painted copper intalled at the out sided of the cooling chamber to avoid potential water leaking in the cooling section.The chilled water (with 8°C optional) worked as the cooling medium. The recirculation water with 12°C returned to the cooling water tank and to be recirculated in the system.
A proportion valve controlled by PLC regulates the flow rate of the cooling water depending on the preseted temperature.
Solve the problem:”the sealant of HEPA Filter n heating section can not resist high temperature and easy to peel after long time use”
Cooling Section Sterilization by Dry-Heating is for the purpose that in some relatively moisture area, the bacterium will easily to grow in the cooling section after a certain time not using the tunnel. So we sterilize the section before the machine runs.
When the cooling chamber is ready for sterilizing, all the fans start to run, drain the recirculation loop of the cooling system (cooling coils, piping, etc).
The whole process will last 45minutes at the dry-heating sterile air temperature 180°C.
Once the sterilization is complete, the heating elements will be switched off and the cooling program starts.
By this means, cooling section has the following different function compared to the standard one:
l Double Chamber excution with insulating
l Special motor of the fan, resistant to the high temperature
l HEPA filter temperature resistant up to 250 °C
l Drainable cooling coils
l Temperature control and regulation
l Registration on the recorder for the cooling section temperature
l Recipe for carry out the sterilization program
In the cooling section, there’s an ultrasonic bath under the conveyor belt to clean-off particles or dusts
which stuck on the conveyor belt.
