Rotating Pasteurizer

The MAURER^® Rotating Pasteurizer sets new standards in the pasteurization of Human Albumin.

The system has been designed for 24-hour operation and can accommodate up to six product racks, which can be fitted with glass bottles of varying sizes, ranging from 50 to 500 ml. This allows up to 34,944 50 ml glass bottles filled with Albumin to be pasteurized in a single batch. The entire process is monitored by an automated control system, which requires no manual intervention until the process is complete.

A key advantage over conventional pasteurization systems is the continuous rotation of the glass bottles filled with Albumin. These are stacked in the product racks and rotated 360 degrees every 10 minutes in a heated purified water bath at 60°C (+/- 0.5°C) throughout the entire pasteurization process.

The continuous rotation during Albumin pasteurization offers the following key advantages:

• Uniform Temperature Distribution: The constant 360° rotation of the vials ensures that the entire Albumin solution is heated evenly, effectively preventing local overheating (“hotspots”).
• Reduction of Protein Denaturation: Even heat distribution minimizes the risk of Albumin denaturation or precipitation in certain areas. This helps avoid the formation of insoluble particles or unwanted flocculation and gelation in the final product, which is crucial for quality assurance.
• Improved Homogeneity and Product Quality: Rotation ensures consistently homogeneous pasteurization of all vials within a batch. As a result, each individual product is more likely to achieve the required purity and stability according to pharmacopeial standards.
• Higher Yield and Fewer Rejects: Unevenly heated samples often need to be discarded due to visible particulates. Continuous rotation reduces this risk, thereby increasing process efficiency by minimizing defective products.

These advantages make continuous rotation a key factor for efficient and reliable pasteurization of Albumin solutions.
