Description

The equipment, manufactured in AISI 304, features an intelligent architecture divided into three modules: two side modules and a lower central blowing and disinfection module that dislodge dust particles from surfaces using high-velocity nozzles, while UV-C radiation drastically eliminates the bacterial load from the objects. The entire process is controlled by presence sensors that automatically open and close the sliding doors.

  • Maximum Lifting Capacity: 1.335 kg.

  • Dust removal process: It features three blowing blocks that dislodge particles from surfaces using high-velocity nozzles manufactured in POM.

  • Air filtration:The airflow is continuously extracted and purified through F9 pre-filters and H14 HEPA absolute filters, retaining dust before returning to the chamber.
  • Disinfection cycle: The UV-C radiation emitted by the three modules drastically eliminates the bacterial load (3-log reduction), covering 100% of the material surface.
  • Synchronized Automation:The entire cycle is PLC-controlled, allowing for the programming of operating cycles, processing times, the opening and closing of electric sliding doors, filter-absence detectors, as well as the hoisting and traveling operations of the overhead crane, among others.

Sectors and Regulatory Compliance

“This equipment has been developed under the strictest engineering standards to comply with the most demanding international audits: GMP, FDA, BRC, and IPS. Its application is essential in classified areas according to ISO 14644 within the following sectors

  • Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Industry

❓ Frequently Asked Questions about SAS Lifted

Is it possible to integrate the material pass-through SAS (SAS Lifted) with the plant's BMS or SCADA systems?

Yes, the vertical pass-through SAS (SAS Lifted) designed by Albian features a PLC-based control system that comes natively prepared for full integration with the factory’s Building Management Systems (BMS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. This allows for real-time monitoring of decontamination cycles and equipment status from the plant’s centralized control.

How are maintenance and the replacement of HEPA filters and UV lamps performed on the SAS Lifted?

Maintenance of Albian’s SAS Lifted is simple and safe. The equipment is designed with technical access doors on both sides to facilitate the quick replacement of HEPA filters and UV-C disinfection lamps. Additionally, it incorporates integrated safety sensors that emit an automatic alert in the event of missing or misplaced filters, guaranteeing integrity at all times.

What are the dimensions of the SAS Lifted, and can it be custom-made?

As it is a vertical material pass-through equipment, the SAS Lifted does not come in a single standard size, but rather offers a modular design with multiple dimensional configurations to adapt to the space requirements of each project. Furthermore, at Albian we provide custom manufacturing upon request, allowing for the personalization of both useful dimensions and materials, including high-resistance finishes in AISI 316 stainless steel.

What advantages does the integrated motorized overhead crane offer in the vertical pass-through SAS?

The motorized overhead crane of the SAS Lifted optimizes ergonomics and safety in load handling. It allows for the automation of hoisting, traveling, and rotation of heavy or bulky materials that an operator cannot introduce manually. This guarantees a controlled transfer process and the level of biological decontamination required for the passage of materials into classified areas (such as Grade D or ISO 8 cleanrooms).

Is the SAS Lifted an open-top chamber, or is it completely sealed?

“No, the equipment is completely enclosed. It features an airtight upper enclosure where the supports for the rail on which the overhead crane travels are integrated. This advanced mechanical design ensures the absolute containment of the chamber during UV-C radiation disinfection cycles, protecting the exterior environment and operators.

What are the main applications and industries for the SAS Lifted?

The SAS Lifted is specifically suitable for the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, cosmetic, and food industries, as well as the hospital sector (such as hospital pharmacies and outpatient surgery areas). It is the ideal solution for preparation zones, transit areas, corridors, and changing rooms where a laminar (unidirectional) airflow is not required, with a ventilation rate between 10 and 20 air changes per hour being sufficient to maintain the room classification.

How is complete ultraviolet disinfection guaranteed across the entire surface of a Big-Bag?

To ensure homogeneous UV-C radiation across 100% of the exposed surface (including shadow zones on complex materials such as Big-Bags), Albian’s SAS Lifted incorporates smart positioning sensors. These sensors automatically coordinate the hoisting, traveling, and rotation motors, rotating and moving the load in front of the germicidal lamps to eliminate any blind spots during the decontamination cycle.

What is the maximum load capacity and weight supported by the SAS Lifted?

Albian’s SAS Lifted motorized overhead crane is designed to support heavy loads of up to 1,335 kg. Regarding the physical volume, the equipment does not come in a single standard size: the useful dimensions of the chamber and its automatic sliding doors are defined and custom-made based on the specific size of the load that each project needs to transfer, thus guaranteeing a perfect adaptation to its logistical needs.
