GTS Steam Air Mix Sterilizer

High performance component and terminal sterilization of small to large pharmaceutical production batches

This high performance steam/air mix sterilizer maximizes sterilization throughput of both components used for filling operation as well as liquid injectables packaged in small and/or large batches. Its modular design allows for flexibility in configurating the sterilizer that fits best in your pharmaceutical production setup.

 

High sterilization throughput in pharma industry

  • Flexible, modular design to enable sterilizer customization
  • ECO process to minize energy consumption
  • Minimized risk of drug recall due to lack of sterility assurance
  • Innovative load carriers for large units prepared for automated solutions
  • Future-proof control system that is prepared for easy integration in your platform

Scalability in chamber size

The GTS steam/air mix sterilizer will come with a small, medium or large chamber* - whatever fits your production space best

The modular design enables you to efficiently design your sterilization process. By adding or removing sections from the various zones, you can increase or decrease your sterilization capacity. 

* small and medium size will be available for purchase in 2025

The GTS explained

The GTS explained

1. Steam / Air Mixture

The GTS sterilizer is designed for terminal air/steam sterilization of liquid products in flexible and rigid containers that require rapid heating and cooling with the demand for a dry load after the process. The sterilizer is specifically designed for sterilization of product/combinations that are pressure sensitive such as syringes, flexible plastic or rigid glass containers.

2. Chamber

Available in small, medium and large to match your cleanroom requirements

3. Pressure and temperature control

Pressure and temperature sensors within the chamber control and adjust when necessary

4. Control system & HMI

The GTS offers three control systems: B&R, Siemens or Allen Bradley. The ergonomic display has an intuitive HMI with presets for several common processes, making it easy to use and ensures operator safety and a reproducible process– as well as product integrity.

5. Flexible process design

Program parameters can be adjusted to the specific process needs, depending on the application

6. Automated loading

The fully automated Getinge Roller Conveyor System (GRCS) is designed for loading and unloading shelf and rack-laden batches of pharmaceutical products into and out of GTS sterilizers. It removes the need for human operators to risk injury or repetitive strain.

Pressure and temperature control

GTS Steam/Air Mixture Sterilizers use sterile compressed air to apply support pressure to balance the environment with the internal load pressure, meeting each load’s requirements for heating and cooling rates. Pressure and temperature sensors within the chamber control and adjust when necessary. A fan and ducting create a circulation pattern and maintain a homogeneous environment when it comes to temperature and pressure.

Flexible process design for various applications

Optionally, program combinations are available for steam sterilization of equipment, instruments, utensils, liquids in vented containers, glassware, filters, rubber material.

Program parameters can be adjusted to the specific process needs. If there are specific requirements, cycles can be customized to fulfill requirements of the application.

Modular configuration with zones

Due to its modular design with zones, you can configure the GTS sterilizer to match your requirements, varying from small, to medium to large sterilizers. 

Getinge's patented system allows the zones of the steam/air mixture sterilizer to be independently controlled, so a single process can be validated for either full or part batches.

The modular, automated load handling solution for the Getinge GTS sterilizer

The Getinge Roller Conveyor System (GRCS)

The GRCS ensures safe, continuous pharmaceutical production by optimizing load-handling performance throughout the terminal sterilization cycle.

  • Optimizes production efficiency, uptime, and throughput
  • Protects the GTS sterilizer from loading and unloading risks
  • Eliminates risk of human injury
  • Prevents heavy or unwieldy loads being dropped
  • Support traceability for quality assurance and compliance
  • Compliant with applicable safety standards
  • Easy-to-use operations
  • Modular design makes it suitable for all production environments
  • Harmonious integration with GTS sterilizers as part of a single-vendor solution
 

Loading

The GRCS is based around a motorized roller carriageway onto which batches can be placed before safe transfer into the GTS sterilization chamber. This makes the process of placing batches onto the GRCS independent of the process of feeding batches into the sterilizer.

Unloading

Once the terminal sterilization cycle is complete, a corresponding GRCS carriageway at the opposite end of the sterilizer can be utilized to support the unloading process. Each GRCS carriageway can be configured to connect with existing upstream and downstream conveyor systems where required.

Traceability

The automated features of the GRCS include sensors and scanners that are seamlessly integrated with the operation of the GTS sterilizer as part of a complete Getinge solution. This allows full traceability of loading racks and enables autonomous chamber loading and start of sterilization process.
