Controlled Environment - September 2013

The Air-LINE Quick from Burkert comes with a stainless steel adapter plate and stainless steel push-in connectors for hygienic applications. Installation and commissioning are reduced to a minimum. The user determines the installation location of the valve terminal or valve block – either on the wall or on the floor of the control cabinet.

AirLINE Quick reduces the number of components in the control cabinet by decreasing the number of pneumatic hoses and cables needed. The product is combined with process safety features such as check-valves and the pneumatic hot-swap function (P-channel shut-off ), which makes it possible to replace a valve while the system is in operation. This is intended to offer a solution for pneumatic piloting devices in process technology for hygienic applications. In addition to the stainless steel version for hygienic applications, the concept is also available for general purpose applications with an anodized aluminum adapter plate.

High Purity PFA Piping System

Asahi/America introduces Purflon, its PFA high purity piping system. Purflon is constructed from
ultra-high purity PFA resin (SEMI tested). The product offers high chemical and temperature re-
sistance, making it suitable for aggressive applications, and is complimented by Asahi’s SP Series
IR and Beadless welding equipment. In addition to pipe and fittings, a wide range of Dymatrix
PFA valves are available to complete the system.

Purflon can be joined using either the IR or beadless welding process. The bead-
less welding system provides improved flow and drainability, and eliminates media
disturbances. The piping system utilizes automated SP series welding equipment
to reduce leaks and system risk from improper manual welds. The system is offered
in SDR21 rated at 150psi across all sizes. The initial size
range is offered in sizes 0.5 to 1 in.

The product is suitable for use in chemical distribution lines for semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and chemical process applications.

Modular Cleanroom System

The Padana Modular Cleanroom system from SPS Clean Tech can be customized according to each client’s needs. Wall panels are available in a variety of finishes including high pressure laminate, PVC coated steel, and stainless steel.

Walkable or false ceilings are available with the same finishes – the false ceiling can have a hinged access panel installed for easy access to utilities.

Windows, doors, and pass-throughs can be built in any size with mechanical or electronic airlocks engineered in. These accessories will be mounted flush with the walls to maximize the cleanability and aesthetic appearance of the room. Locker rooms can have built in benches or storage compartments, and airflow (HVAC) can be designed into the individual lockers themselves.

Dycem offers its edging system label, designed to enhance its existing products and meet the specific requirements for auditing purposes.

Using UV ink technology and high impact resistant, non-slip polycarbonate, the labels can be customized to exact customer requirements.

Features include visible installation and replacement dates for quicker auditing; information embedded within a QR code for further “hidden detail,” such as date of service, service technician name, and cleaning schedules; and custom color logo offerings, making the label more personal when situated in certain facilities.

Single-Use Bioreactor

The CELL-tainer single-use bioreactor from Charter Medical offers short mixing times and high mass transfer rates, including reliable measurement and control of T, pH, DO, and rpm in the culture medium.

The bioreactor system provides low shear mixing and high mass transfer rates to maintain homogenous conditions. The single-use bioreactor bag is positioned in the tray and placed on the rocking platform creating a two-dimensional movement ( including a wave-like motion) in the culture medium. The rocker angle and frequency can be adjusted to increase or decrease the mixing time and the oxygen transfer rate.
