Future-proof, powerful and practice-oriented
The requirements in the field of automatic loading and unloading of a freeze dryer are growing rapidly. Pharmaceutical products and primary packaging material must be transported safely, optimally and in an integrated way. Based on these requirements, HOF, as the professional market leader, has developed an innovative robot-assisted loading and unloading system. The HOF SIRIUS new development convinces with its innovative technological character and is a sophisticated high-tech loading and unloading system.
Very gentle product transport system
SIRUS transports vials without glass-to-glass contact from the upstream machine to the freeze dryer. In the freeze dryer, a homogeneous, hexagonal vial pack is set up and placed on the shelves of the freeze dryer, independent of vial tolerances.
By transporting the vials in format-specific nests mounted on individual electromagnetically driven movers, the possibility of fallen vials on their way from the upstream machine to the freeze dryer is eliminated.
State-of-the-art robot technology ensures a maximum flexibility in the pharmaceutical sector
A specially newly developed transport system ensures gentle product transport as well as the traceability of each individual vial during the loading process.The two 6-axis robots from Stäubli in the Stericlean version and the electromagnetic XTS-Hygienic from Beckhof ensure maximum flexibility in the pharmaceutical sector.
The system can be integrated into both a RABS and an isolator. All components meet the hygienic requirements demanded in the pharmaceutical environment and are resistant to H2O2.
