Rubber Stopper Treatmentfor integrated In-House Solutions

Clean? Sterile? Siliconized?It goes without saying that your rubber stoppers will be sterile

upon exiting our treatment plant. But maybe you do not treat

your rubber stoppers in-house? And much less use equipment

made by SBM? Maybe that is why you face problems our

customers do not even know of? If you make highest require-

ments on the treatment of rubber stoppers, just contact us.

Principle and Technology of the Rubber Stopper Treatment

Schematic diagram of the rubber stopper treatment

The Lavotherm GWS

is available in seven

different sizes for

stopper volume from

30 to 300 litres.

Loading Drying Washing Cooling Siliconizing Unloading Sterilizing

The rubber stopper treatment unit Lavotherm, Type GWS, was

developed for the pharmaceutical, biotechnological and rubber

stopper producing industry for cleaning, siliconizing and sterilizing

of rubber stoppers, plungers etc.

Rubber stopper treatment according to the rotation principle with

special spraying system procures highest cleaning results.

Controlled rotation movement during heat treatment prevents

agglutination of stoppers. At the same time process adjusted

rotation frequency ensures minimal particle generation.

Best dryness degrees allow immediate further usage of parts

(e.g. stoppers for Lyo-products).
