Aseptic Pharmaceutical Homogenizers

GEA Niro Soavi has a long history in supplying Aseptic Homogenizers to many of the most important producers sterile products in the whole world, not only for food & dairy applications but also pharmaceuticals and biotech products.

GEA Niro Soavi Aseptic technology uses sterile condensate instead of live steam to flush the aseptic chambers installed on the machine to avoid sterile product contamination during processing with homogenizers once the complete system has been steam sterilized.

The main advantages of the system using sterile condensate instead of live steam are the following:

• Longer packing lifetime, comparable with what is achieved with the standard sanitary design machines, as sterile condensate is supplied at relatively low temperature
• The aseptic system can be sterilized once, before production, then only sterile condensate is used. The circuit allows other types of sterilizing liquid or flushing medium (e.g. hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid solution) to be used
• The system can work at low temperatures, and this is an advantage for pharmaceutical products with a temperature limit which must not be exceeded to avoid product denaturising
• Using condensate instead of live steam avoids steam condensation inside the flushed areas, causing vacuum which may lead to air or contaminant entrainment from the outside environment
• GEA Niro Soavi operates in accordance with the ISO 9001:2000 certified Quality System, which represents the philosophy of the company in sales, after sales, engineering and production processes.
• GEA Niro Soavi homogenizing valves are designed and dimensioned in order to obtain the required degree of micronization and dispersion to the lowest possible pressure, based on the widest range of applications. GEA Niro Soavi homogenizing valves are designed and dimensioned in order to obtain the required degree of micronization and dispersion to the lowest possible pressure, based on the widest range of applications. Homogenizers are available in a wide range of high pressure and low pressure models, with customized solutions and special versions for specific needs. A wide selection of options allows each system to be set up and equipped with features that exactly meet specific needs and process requirements for any industrial application.
