Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for air guidance in a processing room.
  • a method and apparatus for filling Pharmaceuticals or similar products in Packaging container within a housing of a Packaging machine affected.
  • Such known Devices are often in so-called isolator technology constructed, i.e., that the filling and closing of the Packaging container under clean room conditions, so that neither the previously sterilized packaging container still the contents are contaminated by external influences can.
  • These are in particular the bottling and Closing region of the device surrounded by a housing, its interior air either through a Pure air filter is circulated or it is by a Clean air filter supplied from the outside constantly cleaned air (EP 0 604 925 B1).
  • Intervention possibilities by means of gloves EP 0 604 925 B1
  • free intervention possibilities without Gloves In the latter intervention possibilities There is always the risk of contamination, be it from Contamination of the production area from the outside or from Contaminations of the outer area from the production area out.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method and a Device for air guidance in a processing space such form that contaminants of both the Processing room or the production room and the Outside, from which manipulations in the Production room to be made, excluded or at least reduced to a certain, tolerable level are.
  • This task is done with a procedure and a Device having the features of the independent claims solved.
  • the inventive method and the Device according to the invention are characterized in that at the moment, especially by a gap between the production room and the outside interventions into the production room, from the production room in Direction of the outside air flowing and vice versa a space is sucked and thus not in the can reach each other area.
  • the device 10 for filling especially dry Pharmaceuticals or similar products in Packaging containers such as vials 1 and Closing the same has a housing 11.
  • the housing 11 encloses a production room 12, where not illustrated, because not essential to the invention Treatment facilities, in particular bottling and Closing devices are arranged.
  • the vials 1 be by means of a conveyor along a Transport path 13 passed through the production room 12, wherein the housing 11 is an entrance lock 15 and a Outlet lock 16 has.
  • the entrance lock 15 and the outlet lock 16 each form one Lock area 17, 18 off, the first openings 19 of Exterior 20 of the device 10 in the lock area 17, 18, and second openings 21 from the lock area 17, 18th in the production area 12 have.
  • the size of the openings 19, 21 is preferably adapted to the size of the vials 1 or changeable, so that the size of the openings 19, 21st as small as possible, to avoid excessive air exchange between to avoid the individual areas.
  • the housing 11 To make manual intervention in the production room 12 can, is on one side of the housing 11 a Accessibility in the form of a double-pane door 22 educated.
  • the door 22 faces the production room 12 a first disc 24 and to the outer region 20 a second Slice 23 on.
  • the distance between the two discs 23, 24th is for example about 40mm.
  • the housing 11 is not airtight closes column 26, 27 in the region of the two discs 23, 24 for Housing wall marked, on which a more targeted Air exchange between the production room 12 and the Interspace 25 between the two discs 23, 24 as well between the exterior 20 and the gap 25 he follows.
  • Access to the production room 12 takes place in particular by the fact that the door 22 displaceable or raised can be lowered, so that a slot or Free space is created by the manual in the production room 12 can be intervened. If the door 22 is open, so can air over the slot or space formed thereby get into the gap 25. It is also conceivable at least in addition in the one disc 24 a hole form, by one on the other disc 23 (on the production room 12 side facing)) Glove is feasible.
  • a ventilation system 28th arranged from the production room 12 in the Embodiment by an air-permeable device 29 is separated.
  • the ventilation system 28 has a fan 31 and a downstream filter in the form of a Clean air filter 32.
  • a first adjustable flap 33 to the controlled feed of Allow air from the outside area 20.
  • a second adjustable Flap 34 provided to the outlet of purified air in to allow the outdoor area 20.
  • the Device 10 To prevent both contamination of the production room 12 from To avoid outdoor 20 ago as well as vice versa, is the Device 10 specially designed. This is the Interspace 25 between the two discs 23, 24 via a suction or suction with the suction side the blower 31 connected so that a flow path 36 for Air is created. Other flow paths 37 for air are formed by the entrance lock 15 and the Outlet lock 16 towards the suction side of the blower 31. From Blower 31 is cleaned in the clean air filter 32 air in passed the production room 12, wherein a substantially horizontally extending, laminar air flow 38 generated which is above the treatment rooms or treatment areas the vial 1 flows in the direction of the gap 25.
  • Essential are the different ones Air pressure conditions in the individual rooms or Areas: So there is a higher in the production room 12 Pressure as in the intermediate area 25 and the entrance lock 15 and the outlet lock 16. Furthermore, the pressure in the intermediate region 25, the entrance lock 15 and the Outlet lock 16 lower than in the outer area 20, i. in these areas prevails in relation to the outdoor area 20 a negative pressure. It follows that both air from Exterior 20 via the first openings 19 in the Entry lock 15 and the exit lock 16, as well Air over the column 27 or when opening the door 22 via the thus formed gap or clearance in the intermediate area 25 flows, which is illustrated by the flow arrows 39 should be.
  • Contaminations of the Intermediate 25 and the lock areas 17, 18 by from the production room 12 leaking air or through entering the outer region 20 in the intermediate region 25 Air is removed by extracting the air from the top mentioned areas to the suction side of the blower 31 out avoided.
  • Embodiment of the invention is the device 10a designed as a filling plant for liquid pharmaceuticals.
  • the Bottling takes place in ampoules 2, but it can also be vials etc. be bottled.
  • the Entry lock 15a is integrated into the housing 11a and has an intermediate wall 43 for production or Insulator interior 12a on. Below the transport level 41 a suction grille 44 is arranged, which is a Suction channel 45 limited.
  • the device 10a accordingly the first embodiment, one of the entrance lock 15a corresponding air flow or a corresponding structure also on the exit side of the device 10a having. Furthermore, the air flow is in Isolator interior 12a also as a laminar air flow formed, however, the ampoules 2 substantially flows vertically from top to bottom. Such However, air ducting is already available in isolator technology well known.
