Aseptic Tube Sealer for Pharmaceutical Tubes
The device is used in clean rooms to disconnect thanks to a thermal seal two pieces of process equipment connected by a thermoplastic elastomer hose (TPE type C-Flex®). Consequently, disconnection is perfectly safe and sterile.
The lightweight and easy-to-use MGA technologies sealer handle enables the disconnection of TPE tubing to be carried out as close as possible to the required cutting area. The interchangeable tube holders system automatically adjust the optimum cycle needed to ensure the highest quality seal without the risk of leakage and loss of sterility. The disconnector is suitable for closed systems.
How It Works
When disconnecting two single-use assemblies, the thermoplastic hose type C-Flex® to disconnect is clamped in a jaw which is locked by an electromagnet after closing. The disconnection cycle is initiated by the operator. A ceramic heater controls a temperature rise to slightly above the melting point of the tubing material.
A hold phase at this temperature secures the hose’s fusion and destroys all life on either side of the jaws. Then, a vane pump integrated within the device cools the fusion to a temperature that is harmless to the operator.
Finally, the electromagnet releases the opening of the jaws, the operator makes a final visual check of the good realization of this fusion of the flexible before cutting manually with a pair of scissors by following the print left in the sealing.
Technical Specifications
- Various sizes of TPE tubing available from 6.4mm (1/4″) to 19.1mm (3/4 “) outside diameter
- Several brands of TPE tubing are already qualified such as Cflex®, Advantaflex®, Tuflux® and other brands after validation by our internal teams.
- Various conditions such as on empty, wet or full tubes under atmospheric pressure.
- Stable seals for storage and incubation temperatures
- Patented coating of the heating jaws, guaranteeing a long life without changing parts.
