Automatic Rotary Vial Washing Machine
High-Speed Aseptic Decontamination
The Harsiddh Unimach Automatic Rotary Vial Washing Machine is a high-performance system designed for the continuous, high-speed internal and external cleaning of glass vials. This machine is critical for maintaining a sterile environment in Pharmaceutical, Healthcare, and Cosmetic production, ensuring that every container is free from contaminants prior to the filling process.
Operational Precision & Cleaning Sequence
The machine features a rotary motion where vials are held securely by specially designed grippers and inverted over washing needles. This ensures deep penetration and thorough cleaning of the internal surfaces.
Standard 4-Stage Washing Cycle:
- Recirculated Water Wash: Efficiently removes loose particulate matter and dust.
- Purified/DM Water Rinse: Ensures all surfaces are chemically clean.
- WFI (Water for Injection) Wash: Final sterile rinse to meet injectable-grade safety standards.
- Compressed Air Wash: High-velocity air jets remove residual moisture, preparing vials for sterilization tunnels.
Key Technical Features
- Customizable Sequence: The washing stages can be reconfigured to meet unique product SOPs or customer requirements.
- High-Speed Output: Engineered for high-performance lines, achieving output speeds up to 240 vials per minute depending on the model.
- Intelligent Control: Features a user-friendly interface with digital displays for real-time monitoring of wash parameters.
- Integrated Maintenance: Equipped with an inbuilt auto-draining facility and easy-access components for fast changeovers.
Why Rotary Washing is Critical
In automated production, the Rotary Vial Washing Machine acts as the first line of defense against cross-contamination. Its ability to handle vials at high speeds while maintaining consistent pressure and temperature ensures that your production meets global quality standards for safety and sterility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vial sizes are compatible with this rotary washer?
This machine is highly versatile, designed to wash glass vials ranging from 2ml to 100ml. It accommodates vial diameters from 16mm to 56mm. Thanks to its flexible design, it can be quickly adjusted with minimal change parts to handle different container sizes within this range.
How does the gripper system enhance the cleaning process?
The machine features a specialized automatic gripper system that picks up each vial by the neck and inverts it. This allows the vials to travel in a "neck-down" position over the washing nozzles. This orientation ensures that cleaning media can penetrate the core of the vial and drain effectively, providing a superior wash compared to standard upright methods.
What does the standard washing cycle consist of?
To ensure complete decontamination and compliance with cGMP standards, the machine typically provides 6 internal washing stations featuring:
3 Water Washes: Utilizing media such as Recycled Water, DM Water, and WFI (Water for Injection).
3 Air Washes: Using high-pressure compressed air to remove residual water. Additionally, the machine includes an external wash mechanism to clean the outer surface of the vials.
How is cross-contamination prevented during the cycle?
The machine is designed with independent circuits for each washing zone. This ensures that different wash media (like purified water and WFI) never mix. Furthermore, all contact parts and wash media lines are constructed from AISI 316L Stainless Steel, while the rest of the structure is made of SS 304, meeting the highest pharmaceutical hygiene standards.
