Automatic Cleaning System

Suncombe’s IsolatorCIP automatic cleaning systems provide aqueous, detergent, and/or solvent cleaning of glovebox isolators. IsolatorCIP uses a clean-in-place (CIP) system to reduce the possibility of cross-contamination after each use and remove any product or debris. This design allows for repeatable cleaning of isolators and gloveboxes without a breach of the isolator in the process. The cleaning sequence can be configured to include different water qualities, chemicals, detergents, and sterile hot, cold, and dry air streams. These can be provided at accurately controlled temperatures, flowrates, and pressures.

Using variable recipe-derived configurations, the IsolatorCIP can also be used to clean additional processing equipment enclosed inside the isolator or be fitted onto the in-feed or discharge sides. Incorporating replaceable modules, the base unit is a fully hygienic version, with optional modules for sterile use, including sanitizing and sterilizing configurations.

Suncombe’s IsolatorCIP systems can be integrated with isolators of any manufacturer. With pre-configured mechanical and control interfaces, they minimize the potential for cross contamination and downtime while also ensuring the protection of personnel. The machines are manufactured from type 316 certified stainless steel, and use an easily configured recipe structure, providing confirmation at the successful completion of cycle. Remote control facilities can be incorporated for interfacing with the isolator’s control systems.
