Vial washing system for internal and external cleaning
Streamline vial preparation with comprehensive washing, sterilizing, and filling in one integrated process, ensuring aseptic quality and efficiency for high-stakes pharmaceutical production.

Cleans and Sanitizes Vials and Cartridges
The Vertical Rotary Vial Washing Machine from Snowbell Machines is designed to address critical cleaning challenges in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. It utilizes ultrasonic cleaning and multiple washing media to ensure the highest levels of sterility and cleanliness for vials, ampoules, and cartridges. With a decartoning station at the infeed and a sterilization tunnel at the outfeed, it integrates seamlessly into a continuous production line. The machine is equipped with automatic controls and servo systems, ensuring precision in the washing process while maintaining regulatory compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and GAMP standards. Ideal for preparing containers for delicate applications such as vaccines, antibiotics, and hormone solutions, this equipment supports the manufacture of lyophilized drugs, nutritional supplements, and diagnostic reagents. Designed for efficiency, it meets stringent aseptic guidelines while enhancing throughput and reducing contamination risks in high-speed operations.
