Container exterior cleaning for pharmaceutical applications
Achieve consistent cleanliness and dryness for your containers with high-speed precision technology, ensuring product integrity and compliance in your pharmaceutical operations.
Cleans and Dries Pharmaceutical Containers Efficiently
The ARM Series from Bausch+Ströbel includes the ARM 1036 and ARM 10600 models, specialized container cleaning and drying machines designed for the pharmaceutical industry. These machines excel in removing product residues from container exteriors using a rotating cleaning system combined with concentric drying nozzles, efficiently processing up to 36,000 containers per hour. Ideal for vial, ampoule, and syringe barrel applications, the ARM series machines facilitate seamless integration into high-speed, continuous processing lines. Engineered with pharmaceutical-grade materials, they offer gentle transport to prevent damage and feature optional retractable water recycling for media use reduction by up to 90%. Compliance with stringent GMP standards ensures suitability for critical pharmaceutical environments. Maintenance is simplified with Washing In Place (WIP) capabilities and real-time monitoring of temperature and pressure. Custom configurations and engineering support are available to match specific operational requirements, maximizing both efficiency and product integrity.
