CIP/SIP Heat Exchangers for Vaccine Production Equipment Sterilization

Vaccine manufacturing requires absolute sterility across bioreactors, harvest lines, purification skids, and formulation vessels. Our ASME-BPE CIP/SIP heat exchangers deliver pure steam for 135°C SIP, hot WFI circulation, and validated cleaning — eliminating bioburden, endotoxins, and cross-contamination while meeting the strictest cGMP, FDA, EMA, and Annex 1 standards.

Critical Vaccine Production Equipment Sterilization Applications

  • Bioreactor SIP: 135°C pure steam sterilization of cell culture and viral production vessels with double-tubesheet exchangers and full condensate drainage.
  • Harvest Line Cleaning: Aggressive CIP/SIP of high-protein harvest lines with Ra = 15 µin electropolished exchangers for complete residue removal.
  • Purification Skid SIP: Pure steam sterilization of chromatography columns, filters, and hold tanks with validated lethality and zero dead legs.
  • Formulation Tank CIP: Hot WFI and caustic circulation for adjuvant and antigen mixing tanks with full endotoxin and bioburden control.
  • Multi-Product Changeover: Complete CIP/SIP removes previous vaccine residues for safe switching between mRNA, viral vector, and subunit platforms.
  • Endotoxin & Bioburden Validation: Proven removal of pyrogens and microbes with riboflavin, endotoxin, and bioburden testing documentation.

The Critical Role of Sanitary CIP/SIP Heat Exchangers in Vaccine Production Equipment Sterilization

Vaccine production equipment — bioreactors, harvest tanks, purification skids, and formulation vessels — demands zero bioburden and endotoxin risk. Non-compliant exchangers become contamination sources, threatening batch integrity and patient safety.

Our ASME-BPE exchangers eliminate that risk with double-tubesheet designs, electropolished surfaces (Ra = 15 µin), full drainability, and proven resistance to 135°C pure steam SIP — delivering validated sterility for multi-platform vaccine manufacturing.

A global mRNA vaccine producer achieved zero sterility failures after installing our pure steam systems. A viral vector facility reduced SIP time 50% with our high-regeneration plate exchangers for WFI circulation.

With third-party validation, full traceability, and decades of performance in vaccine plants worldwide, our CIP/SIP heat exchangers are the trusted standard for safe, compliant vaccine equipment sterilization.
