Sterilizing & Depyrogenation Tunnels
The Venera Sterilising & Depyrogenation Tunnels are engineered to deliver reliable, efficient, and contamination-free sterilisation for glass containers used in pharmaceutical production. Designed with precision and built to international standards, our tunnels ensure consistent depyrogenation, energy efficiency, and seamless integration with washing and filling machines. By employing a continuous hot-air laminar flow process, these tunnels minimise the risk of re-contamination compared to traditional depyrogenation ovens. Glass containers are transported through controlled heating and cooling environments, ensuring validated sterilisation performance while maintaining container integrity.
Types of Series
AX Series for Ampoules
VX Series for Vials
CX Series for Cartridges
