Where sterile transfer becomes critical

After washing and sterilization, closures must be transferred from the processing equipment to their point of use, often a filling line under isolator located at a distance. Maintaining sterility during this step is essential.

The revised EU GMP Annex 1 further strengthens this requirement by stating that components should be sterilized in their primary packaging where applicable. This adds complexity to discharge and transport concepts for facilities processing closures in house.

A panel of discharge and transfer solutions

SteelcoBelimed provides a range of standard discharge and transfer options to match different facility layouts and contamination control strategies. Each solution is designed to preserve aseptic conditions and support new Annex 1 expectations regarding primary packaging and contamination control.

Integrated and compliant by design

Sterile discharge is not limited to the equipment outlet. It must integrate with the facility’s material flow, isolator systems and filling lines. SteelcoBelimed solutions are engineered to ensure seamless transfer between sterilization, transport and use.

Whether for pharmaceutical manufacturers processing closures in house or suppliers delivering Ready-To-Sterilize closures, the result is a discharge concept tailored to each case, supporting sterility assurance and compliance with the revised EU GMP Annex 1.
