Brochure
This high performance steam/air mix sterilizer maximizes sterilization throughput of both components used for filling operation as well as liquid injectables packaged in small and/or large batches. Its modular design allows for flexibility in configurating the sterilizer that fits best in your pharmaceutical production setup.
For porous goods that are often packed in small and medium sizes, like filters, textiles, rubber stoppers in bags or other wrapped items, the GTS enables indirect pre-heat, drying and cooling through its fan system. Sterilization is fast and efficient.
For liquids packaged in open containers like open/vented glass bottles or liquids packaged in closed containers like glass ampoules, glass bottles/vials, syringes, BFS containers, or plastics bottles/bags, the GTS enables steam/air mix ventilator sterilization cycles as these require terminal sterilization by heat. Quality, safety and efficacy of these product in mostly large quantities will not be affected.
Open and flexible visualization system for both cleaning and sterilization in the biopharma industry. Excellent operator control and monitoring with SIMATIC HMI, integrated in both Getinge cGMP washers and sterilizers. The new generation washers and sterilizers come with the latest open interface, SIMATIC WinCC Unified, to meet the challenges of digitalization in the pharmaceutical industry. The SIMATIC HMI Unified Panels allow for collaboration between Getinge cGMP washers and sterilizers to reduce engineering effort and to seamlessly integrate usability.
GTS Steam/Air Mixture Sterilizers use sterile compressed air to apply support pressure to balance the environment with the internal load pressure, meeting each load’s requirements for heating and cooling rates. Pressure and temperature sensors within the chamber control and adjust when necessary. A fan and ducting create a circulation pattern and maintain a homogeneous environment when it comes to temperature and pressure.
Optionally, program combinations are available for steam sterilization of equipment, instruments, utensils, liquids in vented containers, glassware, filters, rubber material.
Program parameters can be adjusted to the specific process needs. If there are specific requirements, cycles can be customized to fulfill requirements of the application.
Due to its modular design with zones, you can configure the GTS sterilizer to match your requirements, varying from small, to medium to large sterilizers.
Getinge’s patented system allows the zones of the steam/air mixture sterilizer to be independently controlled, so a single process can be validated for either full or part batches.
The GRCS ensures safe, continuous pharmaceutical production by optimizing load-handling performance throughout the terminal sterilization cycle.
The GRCS is based around a motorized roller carriageway onto which batches can be placed before safe transfer into the GTS sterilization chamber. This makes the process of placing batches onto the GRCS independent of the process of feeding batches into the sterilizer.
Once the terminal sterilization cycle is complete, a corresponding GRCS carriageway at the opposite end of the sterilizer can be utilized to support the unloading process. Each GRCS carriageway can be configured to connect with existing upstream and downstream conveyor systems where required.
The automated features of the GRCS include sensors and scanners that are seamlessly integrated with the operation of the GTS sterilizer as part of a complete Getinge solution. This allows full traceability of loading racks and enables autonomous chamber loading and start of sterilization process.
