Automatic external washing system for ampoules and vials

Ensure optimal cleanliness of liquid medication containers with a continuous washing system that handles high throughput rates, adaptable for various container sizes and designed for enhanced energy efficiency in rinsing and drying processes.

Washes, Rinses, and Dries Containers

The Type 309 from BAUSCH Advanced Technology Group is a fully automatic, continuous washing machine designed specifically for the external cleaning of ampoules, vials, and bottles, catering to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers. This machine stands out with its flexible and compact design, enabling customized cleaning cycles and quick size changeovers for containers up to 95 mm in diameter and 180 mm in height. The Type 309 operates with a continuous washing, rinsing, and drying process, ensuring high throughput with a maximum output of 21,000 containers per hour. Its specialized cleaning needles enhance energy efficiency, while sterile hot air blow drying parameters can be adjusted via an operator interface terminal for precise control. The integration of an optional Type 705 recycling station for reconditioning used cleaning agents highlights its cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness. It also supports smooth integration into existing production lines, addressing the critical need for maintaining container sterility and quality in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
