The companies of German process and packaging group Oystar integrate cleaning technologies in the manufacturing process and in doing so meet European standards for the hygienic design of food production equipment and the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in respect of pharmaceutical processes.
Oystar Hassia equips its form, filling and sealing machines, used in the dairy and food industries, with a CIP (Clean-in-Place) dosing system to enable fully automated cleaning without disassembly. A SIP (Sterile-in-Place) version is also available, combining the CIP system with full sterilisation of the equipment. In developing a new membrane valve dosing system for Oystar Hassia ffs-equipment for cups, the main focus, besides enabling a range of products to be handled, was to ensure that cleaning would be easy. The main dosing unit is positioned above the cup line and, alternating with a second dosing unit, it ensures short product conversion times and optimum manufacturing efficiency. The CIP cleaning tray, which is usually placed directly beneath the foil line, has been positioned next to the dosing unit. The cleaning tray moves into position above the cup line without impairing it in any way.
With its Ultraclean CIP system, Oystar Hüttlin offers pharmaceutical companies optimum equipment cleaning efficiency coupled with significant cost, time, and energy savings. Ultraclean works primarily with integrated metal filters that can be opened during cleaning, allowing the clean-gas side can to be rinsed quickly. The fully automated cleaning process cuts production times considerably and, with its innovative technology, overcomes the problems of conventional CIP concepts in which micron mesh screens and products that are prone to swelling make it difficult for product residue to drain from the filter.
