GMP Container Cleaning Systems (PCC).


For automated GMP, FDA compliant interior and exterior cleaning of:

  • containers
  • IBCs
  • drums
  • vessels
  • barrels
  • boxes

 

 

  • Müller GMP washers allow flexible cleaning of all parts used in pharmaceutical production.
  • Innovative technologies lead to best-in-class efficiency and lower purified water consumption.
  • The state-of-the-art hygienic design offers the highest level of product safety.
  • Compliance with all the latest GMP requirements allows easy validation with a reliably reproducible cleaning and drying process.
  • Müller GMP washers are cleaning with recirculation, once through or using the water-saving pulsation rinsing process.
  • For flexible handling of different kinds of parts to clean with a broad variety of contaminations a high number of recipes can be programmed and saved within the control unit.
  • Müller provides cleaning solutions with tailor-made chamber sizes and individual system layouts for a variety of technical requirements.



Traits


Modular plant concepts for the most varied requirements enable flexible automated cleaning of practically all washable production goods in a GMP environment.

Müller has developed a unique modular plant concept for this purpose. It offers optimum solutions for a wide range of applications and specific requirements with regard to the wash goods, the spatial situation, the cleaning task, the necessary process steps, the required throughput, the available media and compliance with factory regulations.

MÜLLER Radial Sealing Technology = Easy replacement of seal
MÜLLER Clean Tank Design = Cutting-edge hygienic design
MÜLLER Flex Filling = Adjustable tank filling level
MÜLLER Hydro Coupling = Internal cleaning with higher water pressure
MÜLLER Clean Sensors = EHEDG compliant flush-to-wall installed sensors
MÜLLER Direct Dosing = Detergent dosing directly into media inlet pipe
MÜLLER Pulsation Rinsing = Final rinse with lower WFI consumption
MÜLLER Inline Heating = Heating & drying with flow heater
MÜLLER Thermal Disinfection = Prevents microbial growth
MÜLLER High Performance Drying = Fast drying due to reinforced blow-out using side channel blower
MÜLLER Dynamic Flow Chart = Process visualization (PID) at HMI

Depending on the size and quantity of goods to be washed, a whole range of different washing chamber sizes are available. Special chamber sizes can also be realized.

In order to meet individual installation situations, various design options are available for all Müller pharmaceutical cleaning systems:

  • one- or two-door operation; two-door also as a sluice system with airtight separation of classified clean rooms
  • vertical door opening for the smallest possible footprint with sufficient ceiling height
  • horizontal door opening for low ceiling heights
  • technical room arranged on the left or right
  • access to the plant room optionally from the loading side, from the side or from the ceiling via special plant room levels
  • floor level loading for large washing chambers
  • accommodation of aggregates, control cabinets or additional tanks in equipment racks on separate levels above or below the plant
