Manufacturing compliance depends on efficient, effective cleaning.
Automation of the cleaning process ensures repeatability, allows validation and
minimises down-time. In recognition of the
fundamental role played in today’
s advanced pharmaceutical powder processing industry by automated
clean-in-place procedures, Collette (part of GEA Pharma Systems group) has
developed a unique approach to CIP.
Concealed services
The design of the UltimaGral™
ensures that lines and hoses for the utilities on the machine (water,
electricity, hydraulics, etc.) are concealed in the machine encasement. This
creates an
uncluttered working space and avoids hoses being run to the
machine within the process area.
CIP and WIP The UltimaGral™ can be supplied with
a wide range of washing-in-place and fully automated cleaning-in-place options.
These include spray nozzles adapted for most effective cleaning of
product
feed, product filter, granulation vessel, lid and discharge valve (for example
retractable spray nozzles for the lid). Even downstream equipment, such as a
mill, can be incorporated in the cleaning system.
Easy Maintenance
The through the wall design of the
UltimaGral™ ensures that technical interventions can be easily carried out
without having to access the processing area and disturbing the clean
environment. Even the concealed service lines can be easily accessed via sealed
doors in the
machine encasement.
