Vial washer for pharmaceutical processing

Ensure efficient vial washing with minimal water usage, reducing particulates and risk of contamination in your aseptic fill-finish processes.

Eliminates Contaminants and Cleans Vials Efficiently

The Hull i-Dositecno Vial Washers from Scientific Products offer a cutting-edge solution to vial cleaning challenges in pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals. By utilizing a servo-driven mechanism, these washers efficiently eliminate particulates without traditional penetrating spray needles, reducing contamination risk and downtime due to false rejects. Ideal for sterile injectable vials and vaccine vials, this equipment supports applications in various production environments.

Capable of handling up to 400 vials per minute using as little as 1 L/min of WFI, these systems significantly reduce water usage and energy consumption. With four model options, including RW-250, RW-500, RW-800, and RW-1150, the washers accommodate vial sizes from 2 mL to 500 mL, covering a range of batch sizes. Compact design options provide seamless integration into existing production lines, forming complete aseptic filling lines under 13 feet long.

They are PLC-controlled for precision and efficiency, meeting GMP standards, and simplifying cleaning through a design with minimal moving parts, requiring less maintenance and providing versatile processing capacities for low to high-speed operations.

Benefits

  • Minimizes contamination risk with non-invasive cleaning process, reducing false rejects and production delays.
  • Significantly reduces water and energy consumption, optimizing operational costs.
  • Compact design enables easy integration into space-constrained production lines.
  • Versatile operation accommodates various vial sizes and batch demands, supporting flexible production schedules.
  • Compliant with GMP standards, ensuring reliable and quality-based processing for pharmaceutical requirements.
