E-Beam system for continuous surface decontamination

SKAN AG

Continuous Exterior Surface Decontamination

The E-beam tunnel guarantees the safe entry of containers with pre-sterilized syringes into the filling line isolator. This automatic E-beam system is especially suited for continuous processes with high thru-put, up to eight containers per minute.

Air flow

• Unidirectional, vertical air flow at the entrance to the tunnel for a particle free environment before the emitter
• Unidirectional, vertical air flow on the "sterile side" of the tunnel for a particle free environment after the emitter (Grade A, ISO 5)
• Direct ozone extraction at the emitter and transfer to the outside air

Transport system

• The container (tubs) are held on their edge and actively transported
• A special transport system of high quality stainless steel, developed for cleanroom applications.
• There is only one tub at a time in the emitter zone

Technology of the E-Beam System

• GMP Cleanroom Class Grade A, ISO 5 
• Double filtered (HEPA H14) in and out of the unit 
• DEHS testing ports for "in situ" testing 
• Uni-directional airflow over the entire "sterile" sections of the transport system 
• Automatic leak test/mouseholes with pneumatic gaskets 
• Controlled differential pressure between isolator and room 
• Special stainless steel-lead-stainless steel "sandwich" construction 
• Stainless steel AISI 316L/304, polished to 0.8/1.2 µm 
• Easy and quick access for cleaning and maintenance 
• Clearly defined separation of attachment to the isolator
