Ampoule external washer for decontamination
Ensure contamination-free glass containers with a high-speed solution designed for efficient decontamination of ampoules and small vials post-filling, perfect for maintaining the purity and safety of injectable medications.
Decontaminates and Dries Ampoules and Vials
The VEGA 400 from IMA Group is a rotary external washer specifically designed for pharmaceutical applications, addressing the critical need for thorough decontamination of ampoules and small glass vials. Utilizing a high-speed rotary system, it effectively cleanses the external surfaces of containers post-filling, ensuring zero cross-contamination. The VEGA 400 supports continuous operation, with a sophisticated water supply design preventing contamination transfer. It can handle up to 400 units per cycle, making it ideal for high-volume production environments. Built with rounded corners for enhanced cleanability and complete process isolation via specialized seals, this equipment minimizes contamination risks while facilitating ease of maintenance. Compliant with industry standards, its Siemens PLC and HMI integration offer robust process control, safeguarding repeatability and safety. The compact design, with drives and circuits housed within the frame, optimizes production floor space. Configurations for RABS or isolator enclosures are available, meeting stringent GMP guidelines for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
