This New Generation of Tunnels Is an Energy-Saving&Flexible Advancement of The HQL Series

This new generation of tunnels is an energy-saving and flexible advancement of the HQL series for sterilising and depyrogenising pre-cleaned ampoules, injection and infusion bottles, as well as cartridges and syringes.

The modular design of the HQL series ensures a customer-specific tunnel arrangement. Each sterilising and cooling module contains the entire technology for the respective process step.

“The modules can now be variably put together. This allows the new series to be flexibly integrated into different line concepts,” Matthias Angelmaier, product manager at Bosch Packaging Technology, explains.

In addition, the new design facilitates access to critical areas such as HEPA filters, which can be easily replaced, thus simplifying maintenance of the tunnels.

Bosch says pharmaceutical manufacturers can profit from the increased energy efficiency of the new HQL series.

The new series requires less energy for electrical heating and ventilation due to an optimised airflow and measures for heat recovery.

A flexible pressure zone concept ensures increased process safety by adapting tunnel pressures in the different zones to customers’ requirements. The new tunnels are further characterized by a reduced overall tunnel size, making them shorter and more space-saving than the previous series.

The new tunnels are available in three standard bandwidths of 600 respectively 800 millimetres for the HQL 6000 and 7000 and 1 200 millimetres for the HQL 8000, which will be on display at Interpack.

“Based on the physical properties of our customers’ packaging material we calculate, which tunnel modules are adequate for their processes,” said Angelmaier.

This subsequently facilitates safe process validation and documentation.

“The HQL 8000, for instance, with its broad conveyor belt and several sterilizing and cooling modules is suited for large glass containers and downstream filling machines with high output.”
