Sterilization tunnel E-beam

The use of presterilized syringes in tubs continues to grow in importance as a reliable, cost-effective production method. Isolator technology ensures high product safety. An electron accelerator (e-beam) is used to sterilize the tub surfaces before it enters the aseptic area. The development of the e-beam tunnel provides customers with a safe system for nested filling of prefilled syringes. Before tub decontamination, the complete e-beam tunnel is decontaminated with hydrogen peroxide H2O2 gas, either alone or together with the isolator, after which the external decontamination of the tubs via ionizing radiation can commence. Each tub is transported via a conveyor belt to the isolator and passes through the electron cloud.
