The Stericap

The Stericap is attached to the sampler with a clamp. For CIP cleaning, the sealing cap of the Stericap is pressed firmly against the Stericap body with a clamping bracket and thus tightly sealed. The cleaning liquids flow out via the Vacu-Compens (lost cleaning)and thus guarantee the cleaning and sterilisation of the system down to the last component.

The sample bottle is inserted into the centre of the Stericap using the special screw ring with membrane and the clamping ring and fixed in place with the clamping clip. The bottle is now tightly and firmly secured to the Stericap.

The recontamination-free, sterile venting of the bottle takes place via the Vacu-Compens, but only when it is filled with alcohol. This tight, sterile connection to the bottle achieves a very high, almost 99.9% sterile safety.

It is also possible to fill the sample into a plastic bottle or plastic bag. Special solutions exist or can be provided for special designs for filling the sample material.

There are optional sensors for the Stericap, which have a wide variety of tasks. These can be ordered separately for each position.

• Sampler open/closed
• Stericap open/closed, important for CIP cleaning
• Sample bottle filled
• Sample bottle present

These sensors are extremely useful or even indispensable when samplers are controlled via plant control systems or in view of the shortage of skilled workers.

1) Stericap with three sensor

• Stericap lid closed = yes/no
• Bottle full = yes/no
• Bottle present = yes/no

2) Stericap with one sensor

• Stericap lid closed = Yes/No

3) Stericap single, without sensors
