Pharmaceutical sterilization machines – our solutions

ADV vacuum-steam sterilization

Pharmaceutical manufacturers in need of flexible and effective sterilization can rely on the vacuum-steam process from Syntegon. The ADV range of autoclaves utilizes the direct inflow of clean steam, which makes it ideally suited for the sterilization of porous and solid equipment, as well as for liquids in open containers up to 50 milliliters. The process is based on air evacuation from the pressure vessel, enabling saturated steam to penetrate the cavities of porous items like machine parts or rubber stoppers. As a particularly versatile system, the ADV supports vacuum-steam sterilization processes in production plants, research facilities and laboratories, also covering final process steps like vacuum drying or jacket cooling.

Benefits:

  • Flexible product loading for best use of the available space
  • Automatic in-line filter sterilization
  • Possibility to integrate steam/air mixture process
