Units for controlled and repeatable distribution and dosing of various media (WFI, PW, alcohol, solvents, nitrogen, air, dust…) and solution preparation.

Our dosing units for solution preparation are designed and built ensuring a reliable and repeatable process of dosing. During the switch between the dosing media in the recipe the exact separation between media is ensured by emptying the system with compressed air. Minimal product loss is ensured during the dosing media and recipe switches. The unit enables a controlled mixing of powders, heating and cooling of the process vessels (part of the H/C systems), mixing with variable speeds (part of the process vessels)… Our units fulfil the strict pharmaceutical norms and we can provide all the necessary validation protocols and documentation in accordance with GMP.

Basic features:

  • Various capacities, sizes and levels of sophistication depending on the requirements of the process and the user
  • All parts in contact with the product are made of AISI 316L
  • Surface roughness up to Ra < 0,2µm
  • State of the art equipment: Endress & Hauser, Gemü, Dockweiler
  • Automated process control via Siemens PLC or manual
  • CFR part 11 reporting
  • All the required documentation: P&IDs, 3D design, FDS, HDS, SDS, DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ, technical documentation, certificates, statements, ATEX…

WIP/CIP/SIP

An essential part of high-quality production is an integrated WIP/CIP/SIP system. Ipros provides efficient cleaning and sterilisation concepts adapted to consumer’s actual demands and for timely supply of the correct cleaning media to the points-of-use. From mobile and independent cleaning systems up to diverse CIP satellites fed with conditioned cleaning solutions, the range of customized solutions for your process plant is large.

Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) systems are designed to both automate essential cleaning and disinfection processes and remove the need for time-consuming disassembly and assembly work.

Process optimisation depends on efficient, effective cleaning. Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems can be incorporated into all the equipment produced for the pharmaceutical industry, including both solid and liquid dosage formulation systems. Automating the cleaning process ensures repeatability, allows validation and minimizes downtime.

The most effective way to implement CIP technology is to design it into a process. Incorporating spray systems, tank cleaners, nozzles and seals to automate the cleaning process, we consider every aspect of your system when applying CIP features, from inlet to discharge.

Automating the cleaning cycle essentially converts batch pharmaceutical processes into a continuous operation of production and cleaning cycles.

The advantages of CIP include

  • reduced cleaning cycle times
  • optimized use of detergent and water
  • eliminates manual cleaning

At the heart of our CIP system is an advanced Wash Liquid Preparation Unit, which handles all preheating, mixing and pumping detergents and PW. It provides continuous monitoring and control of cleaning parameters, including flow rate, detergent concentration, temperature and wash time for full process validation.

Our CIP/WIP system skids are designed, engineered, fabricated, automated and tested in-house. The integrated approach allows for open communication between disciplines, enabling rapid response times to any variances that occur during the project lifecycle. A qualified Project/Process Engineer is assigned to your project to facilitate discussions regarding site-specific requirements, integration concerns and final FAT protocols.

In addition to defining and configuring your system skid, we further assist you to integrate CIP into your hygienic process and plant.

HEATING & COOLING SYSTEMS

Temperature control and agitation during the process are crucial for achieving a successful and repeatable outcome. Ipros ensures that the temperature of products in the vessel can be controlled within narrow limits (+/ 0.5° C) to avoid product variation during production.

This high degree of temperature control throughout production processes and product homogeneity is achieved using the latest heat exchanger technology and careful agitation. Precise instrumentation measures all the key parameters of pH, O2, temperature, agitator speed, and weight throughout processing.

GMP MEDIA SYSTEMS

We design, install, commission, and qualify/validate the operation, performance, and maintenance of the storage and distribution system, to ensure reliable, consistent production of media of required quality, in order to prevent recontamination after treatment.

Competent specialists ensure consistent implementation.

High-quality piping requires high quality standards, especially in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food, and chemical industries.

Perfect organization, many years of experience, state-of-the-art equipment, and the continuous optimization of various welding techniques are fundamental prerequisites for a project’s successful completion. We have made it our business to ensure our customer’s that these requirements will be filled.

Our installation portfolio comprises:

  • Installation planning
  • Piping
  • Quality control/documentation
  • Commissioning service

We provide appropriate packaging and transportation as well, if required.

In order to be able to produce the required quantities of water in the quality laid down in USP and Ph Eur a water plant has to meet very exact demands. A large number regulations and standards have to be respected. The GMP water system is subject to very stringent control and inspection. We ensure these requirements are met.

We will design, assemble, deliver and install a hot (WFI) or cold (PW) water storage system, depending on your requirements. Every sampling point in the loop can be equipped with a sampling valve and fittings for loop sterilization. The necessary metering technology for throughput and TOC are provided as standard. We incorporate all the units required for the production of highly purified media into these systems.

Essential features:

  • zero dead-leg design
  • systems that can be completely drained and sterilized
  • TOC metering technology
  • diaphragm valve technology
  • tubular heat exchangers in DTS design

AUTOMATION
