Compact cleaning system for glass and plastic containers
Ensure exceptionally thorough cleaning and gentle handling of diverse vial and bottle types with this high-speed system, optimizing your production line’s efficiency while preventing media cross-contamination.

Cleans and Transports Containers Continuously
The FAU Series from Bausch+Ströbel consists of high-speed container cleaning machines meticulously engineered for pharmaceutical and biotech productions. These machines excel at delivering intensive wet cleaning for glass vials, plastic ampoules, and medicine bottles, all in a continuous, gentle transport system. Each unit, including the FAU6000, FAU8000, and FAU12000, offers adaptable throughput, cleaning up to 36,000 containers per hour depending on the model. A distinguishing feature is its ECOwash technology, which ensures optimized cleaning with reduced water and air consumption by up to 40% and 20%, respectively. The system supports multiple cleaning media configurations without cross-contamination, enhancing flexibility across various applications from liquid pharmaceuticals to nutraceuticals. Integration into production lines is seamless, with options for ultrasonic pre-cleaning and automated monitoring systems. Designed for minimal setup time and ease of operation, the FAU Series aligns with GMP and FDA guidelines, supporting industry compliance while offering sound-insulated guarding and energy-efficient performance for sustainable operations. Customization, including additional cleaning media and specialized cleaning needles, ensures this series meets specific production needs.
