Sterilization tunnel BLUE GALAXY Series

for the pharmaceutical industryfor pharmaceutical applicationsdepyrogenation

Overview
The BLUE GALAXY Series are continuous depyrogenating tunnels designed for integration into pharmaceutical production lines requiring dry‑heat depyrogenation of glass containers. Models cover multiple conveyor widths and lengths to match production rates and line layouts. Pharmacopoeias indicate Escherichia Coli type 5 as the reference endotoxin for verifying depyrogenation effectiveness (minimum log 3 reduction).

Machine highlights

• Automatic unloading: fully automatic unloading sequence to maintain line throughput.
• Effective thermal treatment: air balancing, pressurisation and controlled heating/cooling for reproducible thermal exposure of vials and glass containers.
• User-friendly HMI: configurable control and automation with various PLC/PC options.
• Sterilisation options: dry‑heat process; optional VHP sterilisation for the cooling zone (IMA Life patent pending).

Process repeatability
Maintaining the hot zone at overpressure ensures consistent exposure time and lethality parameters across production runs, supporting reproducible endotoxin reduction.
