External vial washer for pharmaceutical industry
Ensure complete decontamination of vial exteriors with precision washing and drying, reducing contamination risks and improving production cleanliness, while seamlessly integrating into high-speed pharmaceutical lines.
Cleans and Decontaminates Vial Exteriors
The Hull i-Dositecno Vial Washing and Decontamination Machine is your solution for maintaining rigorous cleanliness standards in pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing. With low-pressure water nozzles cleaning all vial surfaces from multiple angles, this system ensures thorough decontamination. Designed to handle vials ranging from 2 to 500 mL, the machine is capable of processing up to 400 vials per minute, depending on the model.
The compact units, EVW-60 and EVW-100, require minimal floor space—ideal for facilities with limited space. Both models boast a changeover time of under 20 minutes without tools, enhancing operational flexibility. Utilizing a single feed screw transport system, vials are securely moved through the washing and drying phases, eliminating the need for traditional conveyor belts.
Servo-driven adjustments enable precise positioning for consistent cleaning, while Allen Bradley PLC-controlled systems optimize output rates, managing vial height and water/air flow for each vial size. The equipment’s stainless-steel construction, tempered glass, and advanced air handling system safeguard against contamination, adhering to cGMP compliance. For applications requiring maximum sterility, glove ports and bag-in/bag-out HEPA filters are available. These features, along with easy validation protocols, make Hull i-Dositecno’s machines a vital component in producing sterile injectable, vaccine, and biologic drug vials.
