Hose Down Wash Station

IEWI Hose Down Unit ( Mixing Battery ) provides instantaneous hot water economically by mixing steam and ambient water to the required temperature through a simple turn of a knob. The mixing battery is supplied with isolation valves, check valves, union joints, strainers and thermometer to know the temperature of the emerging hot water. Mixing battery provides industry with cheap hot water wherever steam is available, along with water. It incorporates a hydraulic fail safe device, so that when correctly installed and maintained, no steam regardless of its pressure can enter the mixing chamber until the water flows to raise the steam valve of its seat. When turned off at the outlet, there is an immediate and positive shut-off.When the outlet controls are opened and cold water flows into the mixing valve, the differential pressure across the piston causes it to raise, thereby compressing the fixed loaded spring and raising the steam valve of its seat. The steam thus released, is surrounded by the cold water in the defusing chamber, which on mixing provides instantaneous hot water at the outlet.When the outlet control is turned-off, there is then static water pressure which allows a larger internal stainless steel spring, to close the steam valve back onto its seat. This shuts off the steam completely so there is no steam present in the mixing chamber under any flow conditions .Mixing battery is available in various configurations viz. two services or three services or four services depending upon the customer requirement. Services can be potable water, steam, compressed air and dm water. Hose Down Stations are offered as mobile trolley mounted units or as wall-mounted units.

STERILIZATION IN PLACE (SIP) SYSTEMS

Pharmaceutical Sterilization-in-Place (SIP) systems are designed to sterilize a collection of process equipment after a batch of product is completed. Equipment such as bioreactors, fermentors and the accompanying tubing must be cleaned and/or sterilized before a new production cycle .
The steam pressures seen are typically in the 20-30 psi range with corresponding temperatures ranging from 121ºC to 135ºC. The relationship between pressure and temperature is a given, however sterilization times will range depending on the temperature and the nature of the item being sterilized. In general, the lower the temperature, the longer it takes to sterilize. The sterilization time/temperature relationship in a typical SIP process will occur at about 121ºC for 30-40 minutes. For systems with hard to reach components, times can increase.
Steam quality is also an important consideration. Typically, a dedicated clean-steam generator is used to provide the necessary volume, temperature and pressure of steam needed to sterilize each system. To ensure that each component and all areas of the piping reach the sterilization temperature for the requisite time, temperature sensors are placed in critical areas as well as in hard-to-reach locations to ensure that complete sterilization occurs. During this entire process, modulating valves are utilized to maintain the required clean steam pressure, temperature and flow levels.
During the SIP process, condensate is generated from steam which must be quickly removed. Proper placement of clean steam traps will ensure timely and adequate removal of the condensate, which, in turn, will help to maintain the high temperatures needed for the sterilization cycle.
Besides the critical function of the clean steam generator, three components in particular are crucial to maintaining adequate wet temperature in SIP networks: sanitary control valves, sanitary pressure regulators and sanitary steam traps. SYSTEM DETAILS
The SIP has a microprocessor control system for temperature monitoring throughout the sterilisation cycle with validation printout facility

Glass Flask Washing Station

This machine is used for cleaning and sanitizing the external and internal surfaces of glass flasks. The flasks to be washed are manually loaded horizontally onto the machine frame. It is then tilted to a vertically inverted position The outer door is then closed to prevent water from spraying outside. A specially designed nozzle, which is mounted on a pneumatic cylinder is then inserted into the barrel. This pneumatic cylinder is operated with the help of a control panel provided on the machine. CIP liquid is then pumped into the flask for cleaning internal & external surfaces. Internal cleaning is done with the help of nozzles and the external cleaning is done with the V jet nozzles. The drain water is then drained through a drain port in the machine. As an optional feature a steam sterilization can be done for validating the flask after CIP is carried out. After the CIP cycles are over the nozzle is lowered the outer door is opened and the flask is then titled to a horizontal position and removed.

Pigging System

Removal and recovery of valuable product, from process pipe lines as well as expediting cleaning is an extremely important process. The most effective way to accomplish these tasks is with Industrial Equipwash Inc. Product Recovery System. When viscous products (creams, pastes, ointments) are pumped through tubing in a process system, a certain amount of product will be left behind. Residual will either dilute or leave large deposits attached to the inside wall of the tubing. While water and air are often used to remove this residual, these methods only work to a certain degree. The IEWI Product Recovery System works on a simple, yet extremely effective, principle. Our product recovery system consists of a launcher, a catcher and a pig (one-piece, solid molded urethane projectile). Prior to start-up, the pig is placed in the launcher located in the pipeline and just down stream from the pump. Once the run is completed, air pressure is applied to the pig to push it through the main pipeline, forcing the remaining product to a recovery point at the end of the pipeline. The projectile travels through standard 90° elbows until it reaches the catcher, and then the propulsion
