More Information

Frictionless Organic Workflow

The system core of MITO FBS consists of a rotating system enabling automatic bottle emptying, washing, rinsing and filling in a frictionless organic workflow divided into four steps:

– Filling system,
– Top rinsing system,
– washing system, and
– bottom rinsing system.

The crate is automatically rotated of 180° for the discharge of the water left into the bottles. The bottles are sanitised through an internal and external rinse at 85°C. After a subsequent dripping phase, the crate is automatically turned in an upright position for the final filling stage. All the operations are automatically performed.

Drinking water acidification unit option

Laboratory animal drinking water supplied to mice varies considerably from facility to facility, not only in microbial, minerals and organic content but also in water treatment. One of the most common and established treatment methods is to acidify the drinking water to reduce the bacteria’s presence in water bottles. Steelco drinking water acidification unit is designed to treat drinking water to be dispensed via bottle filling modules. Upon request, the acidification unit can be positioned near the FBS working station or integrated within its side cabinet.
