Working
principle
The unit is
fully automated to safeguard the aseptic status while in production. The
operation can be divided into four steps:
•
Pre-sterilization
•
Production
• Aseptic
intermediate cleaning (AIC)
• Cleaning
in place (CIP)
Before
production can start, it is necessary to sterilize the aseptic area by
circulating pressurized hot water. After
sterilization, the unit is cooled down to production temperature.
Finally,
sterile water is circulated through the product circuit.
Production
starts by ?lling the unit with product via the balance tank.
The product displaces the water/product mix to the drain or reject tank. A specially designed balance tank and valve arrangement minimizes the amount of mixed product.
