Full-size Fermenters 150L-300L-500L

Description

 

Pilot-scale Fermenters are a reliable solution for working with microbiological cultures for scientific research or small biotech production facilities, as well as for scaling-up technology.

Standard «ready to use» solutions include all components needed for convenient operation with microbial culture applications. After connecting the Fermenter you can start using it right away without having to buy any accessories.

Pilot scale Fermenters have fully aseptic design and can be validated easily. BioTrail^TM control system, universal for any volume of Fermenter greatly simplifies scale-up process and allows for easy transfer of fermentation data.

If needed, Fermenters can be upgraded to fulfill your specific application requirements.

For your convenience, all the necessary piping is installed on open stainless steel mobile frame. This helps to save space in your facility and simplifies access for maintenance of the Fermenter.

All wetted surfaces are made of AISI 316L stainless steel with surface finish of 0.8 μm, to allow for effective CIP (cleaning-in-place).

Automated and user-configurable CIP and SIP (cleaning-in-place and sterilization-in-place) processing are standard included. A user-friendly program tool allows you to create your CIP and/or SIP sequence by defining its steps and set parameters. By combining sequences you can build a fully automated procedure for your entire application, maximizing day to day process consistency and ensuring best results.

Features

 

 

Main features:

• Ready-to-work standard solutions with the ability to upgrade.

• 100% aseptic design, easy validation.

• Different types of impellers: Rushton, marine-blade, pitched-blade right- and left-handed orientation with radial or axial flow.

• Motor with single mechanical or magnetic seal guarantees 100% aseptic operation.

• Mixing speed 30–600 rpm (standard option); up to 1.500 rpm upon request.

• Standard sensors: temperature, pH, pO2, and foam.

• Sensors upon request: OD, ORP, level, weight, conductivity, pCO2, gas analyzers.

• 5" absolute filters 0.2 μm to ensure purity of gas mixture inside the vessel.

• Manual flow meter or automatic mass flow controller (MFC) to regulate supply of gas mixture.

• Different sparger types including ring- or micro-spargers. Various specific designs are available upon request.

• Two in-gold ports for housing any required electrodes. 

BioTrail^TM control system features:

• Universal control system for fermenters, independent of volume.

• You can use either separate control system for each culture vessel, or one control system for several vessels (parallel experiments, individual vessel control).

• The system is based on SCADA controller, constructed in conformance with industrial automation standards.

• Simple and intuitive user interface provides quick access to all controllers and data.

• Automation of the entire cultivation procedure using pre-programmed ‘sequences’ –for better control of your bioprocess.

• The SCADA software ensures easy and reliable data management and control across all platforms.

• Four level password control is included, to allow for administrator, manager, supervisor and user level authorization.
