Skid-Mounted SIP vs. Cleanroom SIP Installation

Both configurations ensure identical software logic, recipes, and automation across all scales.
Skid-Mounted SIP
Best for: Pilot scale, CDMO, industrial workflows
  • Volume Range: 20L – 500L
  • Format: Cabinet or skid-mountedy
  • Sterilization: Automated SIP (121–130 °C)
  • Cleaning: Integrated automated CIP
  • Automation: BIOFLEX™ SCADA
Cleanroom SIP
Best for: GMP facilities, regulated production
  • Volume Range: 20L – 500L
  • Format: GMP cleanroom-ready
  • Sterilization: Automated SIP (121–130 °C)
  • Cleaning: Integrated automated CIP
  • Automation: BIOFLEX™ SCADA
