What is a steam sampler?

A steam sampler is a piece of equipment designed to collect, in a controlled and sterile manner, representative samples of clean & pure steam used in critical industrial processes, particularly in pharmaceutical environments.

It allows the steam to be condensed under controlled conditions in order to carry out physico-chemical and microbiological analyses in compliance with regulatory requirements.

What are the objectives?

  • Verify the quality and compliance of clean & pure steam used in direct or indirect contact with products

  • Ensure compliance with GMP/BPF standards and regulatory specifications

  • Guarantee sterile, safe, reproducible, and traceable sampling

  • Enable monitoring of key parameters such as purity, absence of endotoxins, pH, and conductivity

  • Contribute to the control and security of sterilization and production processes

Why choose Actini Group steam samplers?

Actini Group steam samplers play a crucial role in verifying the quality of pure steam used in direct or indirect contact with products. Our systems enable the collection of representative samples of clean & pure steam used in critical processes such as sterilization or maintaining equipment sterility.

These samples make it possible to verify compliance of the steam with regulatory specifications: purity, absence of endotoxins, pH, conductivity, etc.

They ensure compliance with BPF/GMP standards through rigorous, safe, and representative sampling, conditioned for reliable and fully traceable analyses.

A design compliant with quality & regulatory requirements

The Actini Group steam sampler incorporates advanced safety and automation features:

  • Integrated safety barriers: priority emergency stop, protection against overpressure and overfilling

  • Automatic depressurization sequence before any disconnection

  • Full automation of all phases: filling, sterilization, cooling, sampling, and draining, with interlocks

  • Sterile condensate sampling, compliant with good pharmaceutical practices

  • Materials and design adapted to quality requirements

  • Operator traceability ensured via HMI interface and PLC control system

  • Standardized and reproducible cycle: sterilization of steam lines and heat exchanger, controlled condensation, sampling authorized only if the temperature is below 50 °C

  • Complete logging of steps and states, with alarm management

  • Simplified maintenance thanks to clear access to components, a preventive maintenance plan, and the use of standard parts

Features
