SteriBowl is the first Steam-Sterilizable Isolator designed to clean and sterilize in place (SIP) vibratory bowls and indirect contact components. Eliminating the need for disassembly, SteriBowl provides a revolutionary approach that enhances sterility assurance while reducing setup time in aseptic filling lines.

Introducing

Ensuring Compliance with Annex-1 & FDA Regulations

With the implementation of Annex-1 in 2022, the pharmaceutical industry faced new sterilization challenges. Traditional methods, such as Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP), fail to penetrate beneath the silicon layer of vibratory bowls and lanes. As a result, compliance with sterilization standards became increasingly difficult.

Key benefits

After Sterilization cycle has been completed, there is no need for human intervention to re-install vibratory bowls into isolators and the sterile environment is upgraded with both unidirectional sterile airflow and dedicated systems to monitor viable/non viable presence as in standard Grade A isolators.

  • Steam Sterilization In Situ
    No need for disassembly or external sterilization.

  • Grade A/ISO Class 100 Unidirectional Airflow
    Ensures a sterile grade A environment after-sterilization.

  • Integration with Existing & New Filling Lines
    Flexibility to retrofit or implement in new systems.

  • Sterility Assurance at 10⁻¹² SAL
    Guarantees the highest sterilization standards.

  • Time & Cost Efficiency
    Reduces intervention time and manual handling

Main Features

Vibratory bowls and lanes are sterilized within the production line using steam, without the need for disassembly or relocation. SteriBowl is the first prototype currently undergoing qualification. This includes the technical solutions necessary to ensure that the air filters are sterilized and tested, a unidirectional flow is created by a CG type diffusor capable of withstanding clean steam, the membranes and machine parts are not damaged by temperature and pressure differences, environmental monitoring does not compromise sterility, and a SAL of 10-12 can be guaranteed.
