ChargePoint’s aseptic split butterfly valves (SBVs) offer increased sterility assurance when handling sensitive ingredients and small components in fill/finish, aseptic transfer and biotech sterile API production.

The ChargePoint AseptiSafe® SBV range provides multiple benefits to the user and the product process including

• Maintaining critical area integrity
• Removing the need for high air class control areas and cumbersome PPE
• Toxic powder processing whilst ensuring the safety of your personnel and a dust free environment
• Maximising yield transfer for poorly flowing and high value product

ChargePoint AseptiSafe® pro

Sterilisation method: SIP/ISO5 HEPA LAF

• In-board ports direct clean Grade A air directly across the valve interface
• Remote filter/fan unit supplies air to the terminal HEPA filter positioned next to the valve interface
• Can be used for high containment dust control with dust particulate collected from the second port and returned to air filtration in a closed loop system

• The active unit uses SIP with the use of a passive unit.
• The two valve halves are docked together.
• The active unit is the driving half of the valve. Once operated the disc will open to allow the transfer of material through the aseptic valve. The active and passive interface is sealed to ensure no material can penetrate the critical area. Once the transfer has taken place the valve is closed.
• The active and passive units are then unlocked and undocked revealing the previously closed interfaces ensuring a clean transfer.
