Rotary vial washers for parenteral containers
Ensure sterile and pyrogen-free parenteral preparations with a seamless washing and decontamination solution, optimizing cleaning efficiency and sterility for small volume injectables in high-speed operations.
Cleans and Decontaminates Vials and Ampoules
The VEGA Rotary Vial Washers from IMA Group are engineered for efficient aseptic cleaning, ensuring that containers used in parenteral preparations meet pharmaceutical-grade sterility and non-pyrogenic standards. Utilizing a configurable washing sequence, the VEGA series significantly enhances decontamination and cleaning, crucial for small volume injectables, vaccines, and biopharmaceuticals. With models like VEGA 2, 4, 6, and 8, these washers accommodate a wide range of container sizes, processing up to 24,000 pieces per hour. Featuring ultrasonic pre-wash connections and fully drainable circuits, they integrate seamlessly into continuous high-speed operations while conserving water through innovative recycled loops. These machines are built to comply with cGMP, FDA, and EMA guidelines and offer additional options like siliconizing stations and sterilization in place (SIP) to meet specific production requirements. Complete with easy access for maintenance and fully validated washing processes, VEGA Rotary Vial Washers provide reliable performance tailored to pharmaceutical manufacturers, biotech firms, and CMOs.
