LATEST DEVELOPMENTS: INTEGRATED SOLUTION FOR STERILE ANTIBIOTICS

Fedegari Group was chosen as the preferred supplier of contamination control systems for a multinational pharmaceutical company with a new sterile antibiotic powder plant. The main challenges of the customer were to optimize the powder filling process and benefit from the cost-effectiveness of process integration with the best ergonomic design for the operators as well as ensuring a reliable and safe pharmaceutical process.

Cost-effective solution for filling Al-kegs with Sterile Antibiotics

Fedegari Engineering Team has worked with the customer for developing the most efficient and reliable solution that would allow to fill the containers (kegs) in the safest way for the product and for the operators. The outcome is a complete plant that combines in a modular way various subsystems which have been individually tested by Fedegari for different applications thus minimizing the risks typically associated with novelties. The solution also represents the most compact design for this type of operations

News

Fedegari was choosen as the only manufacturer able to supply the process equipment (Washer-sterilizer) integrated with RABS and surface bio-decontamination with hydrogen peroxide MAL (Material Air-Lock).

The Project

A Washer-sterilizer integrated with RABS and bio-decontamination with hydrogen peroxide MAL applied to the system. The washer unloads on module 2 – RABS.

Module 1: Washing-sterilization

Module 2: Washed kegs unloading station

Module 3: Empty kegs buffer station

Module 4: Manual powder dosing, capping and bagging with automatic pneumatic lifting device. Packaging materials and tools are introduced through the hydrogen peroxide MAL connected to the module.

Module 5: Filled and packed kegs unloading station

Thema4 process controller delivered to the customer will be completely integrated with SCADA system.

Integrated Solution for Sterile Antibiotic Powder Filling of Al- kegs.

Cost-effectiveness & Results

This solution helped the customer to achieve the desired ergonomic results on manual operations reducing the risks of contamination due to the integration of different machines connected by the RABS into one unique system managed by a single process controller.

ERGONOMIC DESIGN – Unloading system designed to work at the same level (height) throughout all the modules – from the washer to the RABS.

SIGNIFICANT TIME AND COST-SAVINGS by easily handling the kegs through sequential workflow inside the RABS.

CUSTOMIZATION – Modular & custom-made loading racks

COST-EFFECTIVENESS – Time and cost-savings on training and maintenance due to standardization of components, procedures and process controller.
