Introduction:
The technology of super heater steam sterilizer was developed specifically
for terminal treatment of solutions in closed flexible containers.
It was developed primarily to overcome the temperature-pressure restrictions of the conventional steam sterilizer, so as to counter act the effects of the overpressure which unavoidably forms inside containers when they are sterilized using conventional saturated-steam autoclaves.
With over 20 years of technical expertise in the field of Sterilization and an unquenched thirst for innovation, our team of trained and dedicated Engineers has developed a product, which can comply with all international regulations like ASME, USFDA, EN285, ISO and HTM 2010.
SHWSS equipment is the most appropriate to meet these demands and can be used for a wide range of applications & With that it also performs load cooling with a sterile fluid, either water or air.
Technique:
Initially
once the chamber is loaded only the lower part of the chamber (sump) is
filled with treated water of adequate microbiological quality.
The water, which is drawn from the bottom of the chamber by a sanitary-type
centrifugal pump, is circulated through a moving-plate heat exchanger,
also of the sanitary type, which is indirectly heated with water.
The water is then fed back into the upper part of the chamber and is distributed
onto the load by a system of spray nozzles.
Water is maintained in liquid form at superheated temperature due to positive
pressure in the chamber and thereby efficiently sterilizes the load.
Positive pressure is maintained in the chamber that counterbalances pressure
build up in flexible containers thus preventing container bursting or
deformation.

Features:
Compliance with all USFDA, UKMCA [HTM 2020] and EU [EN-285] norms.
+/- 1 degree Celsius temperature uniformity within the chamber
Sanitary Circulation Pump for water recirculation throughout the chamber
Log reduction 6 per cycle guaranteed
Excellent heat transfer.
Water in the superheated form is used as a sterilization medium and the
same is being used while cooling, which complies with USFDA norms.
Sprinkling Tray that facilitates uniform heating on all sides of the load.
Safety valves for Heat exchanger and Chamber.

Applications:
-Large Volume parenterals in containers.
-Small volume parenterals in flexible containers.
-Ready to eat food items that are vacuum packed and need an increased
shelf life.

Optional Features:
Ampoule leak test: to detect any leakages if any
that may be present on the ampoules, the leak test is provided.
Ampoule Wash: the ampoules are rinsed with
clean water if necessary.
