Linear vial washer for injectable drug containers
Achieve sterile conditions by efficiently removing contaminants from various container types, ensuring your injectable drug production maintains high purity standards with customizable high-pressure washing cycles.
Decontaminates and Sterilizes Pharmaceutical Containers
The HYDRA Linear Vial Washer from IMA Group is engineered for the rigorous demands of the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. This cutting-edge washer excels in decontaminating and sterilizing vials, bottles, plastic containers, and even oval containers, ensuring a 3-log endotoxin reduction for terminal sterilization applications. Using a linear washing system, it performs customized washing cycles tailored to container materials and product needs. Capable of processing thousands of containers per hour, the HYDRA series features vacuum-assisted unloading for high-speed stability and automatic integration with existing production lines. Its special upper guide rail enables high-pressure washing without container vibration or movement, while complete segregation of process, circuit, and mechanical areas eliminates cross-contamination risks. Equipped with an ultrasonic bath unit, the HYDRA ensures thorough internal and external washing, followed by efficient drying. Designed to comply with cGMP guidelines, it incorporates a recycled water loop, significantly reducing Water for Injection (WFI) consumption while maintaining cleaning performance. Available with variable configurations, this machine supports different container sizes through interchangeable basket options, meeting diverse production requirements.
