Frequently asked questions

Does MCF Technology have an office in United Arab Emirates?
No. Engineering and manufacturing are European: MCF Technology Zrt in Budapest and the S.G.E. S.r.l. workshop in Bagnacavallo (Ravenna, Italy). Erection, commissioning and service crews travel to the site in United Arab Emirates with documentation and on-site operator training.
Which documents are required to import in vitro plantlet filling lines into United Arab Emirates?
Import requires ECAS / MoIAT, plus certificate of origin, invoice and packing list. Machines leave Italy with a CE declaration of conformity and technical file; local licences are issued in the name of the company owning the plant.
In which language are manuals and training delivered?
Documentation, electrical drawings and operator training are available in Arabic, English. Commissioning includes an acceptance test with real product and handover of the maintenance plan.
How is the price defined?
Price is on request: it depends on hourly capacity, formats, automation level and included services. Send target capacity, product and site in United Arab Emirates and we reply with line layout, machine list, utilities and delivery time.

How to install and operate the in vitro seedling filling line: step-by-step procedure

The operating sequence MCF Technology follows to install, commission and start up the in vitro seedling filling line, through to daily operation and planned maintenance. Delivery, erection and on-site service are included worldwide.

  1. 1. Site survey and utilities check· ~2 working days (indicative)

    Technical survey on the layout of the in vitro seedling filling line: passage heights, flooring and drains, maintenance clearances and availability of a climate-controlled and filtered environment, demineralised water, steam for the autoclave and power for the laminar-flow hoods. The final list of customer-side preparations is handed over.

  2. 2. Shipment, receiving and positioning of the modules· ~3 working days (indicative)

    Worldwide delivery with sea-freight or road packing, unloading and positioning of the modules (Preparazione e dosaggio dei terreni di coltura, Autoclavi e lavaggio contenitori, Cappe a flusso laminare per il trapianto) on the areas foreseen by the layout, checking the packing list and the condition of the components.

  3. 3. Mechanical assembly and piping· ~10 working days (indicative)

    Assembly of the units, conveyor alignment, hygienic welding of the stainless-steel piping and installation of valves and instruments according to the P&ID, supervised on site by MCF Technology technicians.

  4. 4. Utility hook-ups and electrical connections· ~4 working days (indicative)

    Connection of a climate-controlled and filtered environment, demineralised water, steam for the autoclave and power for the laminar-flow hoods, wiring of the electrical cabinet and PLC, earthing, HMI configuration and process recipes.

  5. 5. Sanitation, CIP and dry runs· ~3 working days (indicative)

    Washing and passivation of the product-contact surfaces, CIP circuit verification with flow, temperature and detergent-concentration control, tightness tests and dry-run cycles on all modules.

  6. 6. Functional commissioning and process trials· ~4 working days (indicative)

    sterility validation of hoods and autoclave cycles, culture-medium dosing test and survival-rate count. Trials are run with the customer's real product and recorded in the commissioning report.

  7. 7. Production start-up and staff training· ~5 working days (indicative)

    Assisted start-up with continuous production, training of operators and maintenance staff on HMI, format changeover, safety and sanitation, handover of manuals and drawings in the agreed language.

  8. 8. Daily operation and planned maintenance

    Daily operation with temperature, humidity and lighting of the growth rooms, sterility and contamination checks. Planned maintenance: HEPA filter replacement, environmental probe calibration and autoclave verification. On-site and remote service with critical spare parts agreed in the quotation.

Durations and activities are indicative: the erection, commissioning and training plan is defined in the quotation after the site survey and line sizing. No figure is a contractual performance.
