Tunnel sterilizer condition monitoring
Tunnel sterilizers: conveyors, fans, heat zones — Artesis, SDT. KEG TRK, pharma.
Tunnel sterilizers
Tunnel sterilizers hold continuous container sterilization. Fan, conveyor or loop-pump failure breaks validation and stops filling.
Monitor heat/cool zone fans, conveyor drive, loop pumps, bearings/seals. Artesis from the tech zone + SDT on bearings. Correlate with autoclaves and cleanroom AHU.
See autoclaves, AHU.
After each zone validation log fan current — HEPA filter drift otherwise looks like “normal” heat duty.
On filling lines tunnel downtime costs more than sensors: Artesis on zone fans catches early drift without entering the clean zone.
