Automatic Vial External Washing Machine
Precision External Decontamination
The Harsiddh Unimach Automatic External Vial Washing Machine (Model HEVW-200) is specifically engineered to wash the outer surfaces of cylindrical vials. This process is critical for removing particles and residues formed during the filling or sealing stages, ensuring a clean and professional final product. Suitable for both powder and liquid injectable lines, this machine provides an essential decontamination step for the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare industries.
Operational Precision & Cleaning Sequence
Vials are fed from an inner turn table onto dual tracks where they are correctly positioned and conveyed for the external washing operation. The machine performs two primary operations to ensure complete surface cleanliness:
- Water Jet Wash: A set of spray nozzles on each conveyor delivers high-pressure water jets to the vial exterior.
- Air Jet Drying: Dagger-style lumps and nozzles are positioned at precise angles to ensure the air reaches every part of the vial, followed by specialized side nozzles that spray an air jet on the bottom for complete drying.
Key Technical Features
- High-Speed Output: Capable of processing up to 200 vials per minute, depending on the vial size.
- Rapid Changeovers: Designed for maximum flexibility with a changeover time of less than 10 minutes for vial sizes ranging from 5ml to 30ml.
- Safety Acrylic Cabinet: Features a transparent cabinet with an integrated sensor that triggers an alarm and stops the process if opened during operation.
- Food Grade Conveyor: Utilizes a specially designed food-grade conveyor system to maintain the highest hygiene standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the production capacity and compatible vial sizes for this machine?
The Model HEVW – 200 V is designed for high-speed pharmaceutical lines, offering a production capacity of up to 200 vials per minute (12,000 per hour). It is highly versatile and can process glass vials ranging from 2ml to 100ml in size, depending on the specific diameter of the container.
How does the 4-stage washing cycle ensure thorough decontamination?
To achieve a pristine finish, the machine utilizes a specialized 4-stage cleaning sequence:
Detergent Wash: Effectively breaks down chemical or biological residues on the glass surface.
Water Rinse: Uses tap or purified water to thoroughly remove all cleaning agents.
Compressed Air Wash: High-velocity air jets dislodge moisture from the vial surface.
Drying Stage: Prepares the vial for immediate downstream processes like labeling.
Does the machine meet cGMP and pharmaceutical safety standards?
Yes, this is a cGMP-compliant model. All contact parts are manufactured from high-grade Stainless Steel 316, while the frame and non-contact parts are made from SS 304. Additionally, the machine features an Auto-Draining Facility for the water lines to prevent stagnant water buildup and ensure hygienic operation.
Can the washing parameters be monitored and adjusted?
The machine is equipped with an advanced intelligent control system. It features a digital display that shows both "Set Parameters" and "Actual Parameters" for water and compressed air temperatures, allowing for real-time validation. Furthermore, the washing and heating sequences can be reconfigured to meet specific customer requirements or unique product SOPs.
