Our products

WFI Stills

Aqua-Nova stills mark a significant leap in distillation technology with reduced steam velocity and enhanced performance. Their robust, reliable design, complete with modulating control valves for all fluids, guarantees optimal operation across all conditions.

Pure Steam Generators

Aqua-Nova’s ‘float’ type heat exchangers excel by completely submerging in water, preventing thermal stress that may lead to micro cracks. This design ensures uniform contraction and expansion of tubes and the mantle under consistent steam and water conditions.

Steam Sterilisers

Lytzen has been fully specialized in depyrogenation ovens for over 50 years. What makes Lytzen unique is their highly specialized knowledge in this special application of batch depyrogenation in chambers ranging from 590 liters to about 7000 liters.

Lyophilisers

Lyophilization, commonly known as freeze-drying, is a crucial process in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Maintaining product integrity is key. Mainly used for preservation of biologicals and drug formulation among many other things.

Effluent Decontamination

Drawing on its expertise in the field of water treatment and heat sterilisation. Sofinn has through Pharmtec SA developed a new technology (patented) for effluent decontamination without pumps and heat exchangers, meeting BSL requirements for levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 with superior resistance to clogging.

Aseptic Filling lines

The transferring of biopharmaceutical products, such as vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, or gene therapies, from bulk containers into their final dosage forms, which are typically vials, syringes, or other delivery systems is highly regulated and demands precision and sterility to ensure the quality and safety of the final product.
