Steris Corporation Launches The New Reliance® 680PG Pharmaceutical Grade Washer Globally
The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is under pressure more than ever before to improve their processes and cost effectiveness. They require equipment that can help them shorten their validation time, comply with standards and guidelines, and reduce their total cost of ownership. STERIS Corporation has added the Reliance 680PG Pharmaceutical Grade Washer, an advanced high-performance system, to its line of pharmaceutical-grade washing systems to help its pharmaceutical Customers better address their specific automated washing needs.
"Our new STERIS washing solution offers several innovative features that are designed to provide an even higher level of assurance of consistent cleaning results," comments Marcel Dion, senior product manager for STERIS. "For example, the new total organic carbon (TOC) monitoring system verifies the presence of residual detergent or soil in the final rinse water, which provides a higher level of assurance that the load items have been properly cleaned and rinsed. This new system also has chamber spray arms whose rotation can be monitored to ensure constant and complete spray coverage of all the items in the load."
The new Reliance 680PG system complies with the ASME BPE 2007 (Bio Processing Equipment) standard, which relates to the requirements applicable to system design for bioprocessing, pharmaceutical and personal care product industries. The 680PG washer was also designed to minimize its impact on the environment. The system can use re-circulated chilled water to cool down the effluent, which saves 36 gallons (136L) of valuable cold water during each heated cycle phase.
The Reliance 680PG Pharmaceutical Grade Washer also offers facilities extraordinary process flexibility. An extensive line of modular loading accessories is easy to configure with the system, and the washer can be built with either a Siemens or Allen-Bradley programmable logic controller.
