Linear vial washer for injectable drug containers
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, maintaining sterility and cleanliness of vials for injectable drugs is crucial. Vials must be thoroughly cleaned to remove any contaminants that could compromise the safety and efficacy of the drugs they contain.
Ensures sterile and contaminant-free vials
The HYDRA by IMA is a linear washing system specifically designed for vials and bottles used in injectable drug production. It follows cGMP guidelines and incorporates advanced features to ensure high-quality decontamination. The HYDRA facilitates the cleaning process through a series of customized washing cycles that account for the container material and the product to be filled. The system reduces WFI consumption through a recycled water loop, providing high cleaning performance and pyrogen reductions when needed. It can handle various container sizes, from a minimum mouth diameter of 7 mm to a maximum height of 180 mm. A unique upper guide rail stabilizes containers during high-pressure washing, while complete segregation between process, circuit, and mechanical areas prevents cross-contamination. The HYDRA also integrates features such as vacuum-assisted unloading for unstable containers and the option for an ultrasonic bath unit.
Benefits
- Reduces water consumption with a recycled water loop
- Prevents cross-contamination with segregated areas
- Accommodates a wide range of container sizes
- Prevents vial breakage with a robust guiding system
- Allows direct connection to automatic container feeding systems
