Automatic Ampoule External Washing Machine
Post-Sealing Decontamination for Injectable Safety
The Harsiddh Unimach Automatic Ampoule External Washing Machine is a specialized piece of pharmaceutical equipment designed to clean the outer surfaces of glass ampoules immediately following the filling and sealing operations. In the production of drugs and vaccines, ensuring a sterile and residue-free exterior is essential to prevent cross-contamination and maintain the overall integrity of the pharmaceutical product.
Operational Precision & Cleaning Sequence
Our machine is engineered to handle cylindrical containers with high efficiency, utilizing a multi-stage washing process that effectively removes any traces of medication or environmental contaminants from the glass surface.
Standard 4-Stage Washing Cycle:
- Detergent Wash: Effectively breaks down chemical residues.
- Tap Water / Purified Water Rinse: Ensures all cleaning agents are thoroughly removed.
- Compressed Air Wash: High-velocity air jets remove surface moisture.
- Heating & Drying: Prepares the ampoule for immediate downstream labeling or inspection.
Key Technical Features
- Customizable Sequence: The washing and heating stages can be reconfigured to meet specific customer requirements or unique product SOPs.
- High-Speed Output: Designed for high-performance lines, achieving production speeds of up to 200 ampoules per minute.
- Intelligent Temperature Control: Features an advanced control system for both water and compressed air, with a digital display showing both Set Parameters and Actual Parameters for real-time validation.
- Integrated Maintenance: Equipped with an inbuilt Auto-Draining Facility for the water lines to ensure hygienic operation and prevent stagnant water buildup.
Why External Washing is Critical
The external washing process is a vital safety checkpoint in the injectable segment. It ensures that the final medication delivered to healthcare providers is free from external biological or chemical hazards. Harsiddh Unimach’s external washing technology guarantees that your vials and ampoules meet the highest standards of safety, quality, and sterility.
