Integration Of Seidenader's Outside DAR Vial Washing Machines Into Isolator Filling Lines
Seidenader Maschinenbau GmbH, the leading manufacturer of outside washing and decontamination systems for vials and ampules, have expanded their family of DAR machines: The new DAR concept allows integration into isolator filling lines. Vials and ampules which are filled with potent pharmaceutical products, are cleaned and dried to ensure that there is no carry over of toxic material to operators in production areas, pharmacy staff, hospital personnel or doctors.
As the industry moves to filling these potent substances under special conditions including negative pressure enclosures and restricted operator access, the last element of these filling lines, often a cleaning machine, needs to adapt to this concept.
The DAR now can easily be integrated into isolator filling and RABS lines. Seidenader has recently also built in a buffer system to reduce the utilities consumed and for higher line efficiency as the machines do not have to be synchronized.
All machines are designed to operate under negative pressure to avoid that potentially toxic materials are leaving the machine. The air handling controls signals are connected to the PLC of the machine, to stop or deactivate the machine in case of an error condition.
Operators prefer the large panorama glass doors enabling them to watch thorough line clearance of all zones of the machine. The segmented, plug-in change parts facilitate the handling where operators need to access the machine through gloveports. Typically, the same gloveports used in the upstream filling line are used in the DAR machine, for standardization throughout the line. Seidenader offer a DAR design which operates completely self clearing to avoid product mix-up and to facilitate line clearance.
This makes the Seidenader DAR series the ideal tool to make sure that only contamination free vials and ampules will leave the filling line and that operators and their production team are always well protected.
