DS PH Series
Pharma Grade Parts and Glassware Washers
DS PH – Pharma Grade Parts Washers are engineered and utilized for throughput, efficiency, and validatable cleaning and drying of various materials and components used in Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing processes, including laboratory glassware, filling line components, tools, tubing, TC fittings, valves and pump bodies, filter housings, reactor vessels, and miscellaneous equipment.
DS Series can be configured for different layouts and workflow requirements: single door or double door pass-through versions; with automatic motorized opening, vertical or horizontal sliding doors. Available also in hinged door version, full glass or stainless steel, to reduce footprint and ensure easy and safe access. Available in a wide range of chamber sizes, from 230 to 2,400 litres (8 to 85 cu ft), configurations and accessories to tailor each unit to the specific client requirements.
The design of the GMP range ensures self-cleaning of the chamber and pipework at each process stage, to prevent cross-contamination. Excellent cleaning and drying performance, combined with reduced process time and water consumption, characterize the DS series.
The heating elements, located in the sump, are pharma industry compliant, sanitary and dead leg free, fabricated from AISI 316L (1.4404) stainless steel and electro-polished. They may be connected to plant steam in the Steam heat exchanger version or directly to plant power in the Electrical heat exchanger version.
Steelco GMP washers are designed, manufactured, validated, and documented according to the latest global practices and standards to facilitate customer compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs).
