Process Operation of Automatic Linear Vial Washing Machine
Containers feed from the de-cartooning station are received on an Infeed turn table through visual inspection unit. An in feed worm inverts container to neck down position and feeds them through a specially designed indexing device. The device carries the container forward and stops. Nozzles carrier enters into the container and activities the jet of water/air. The air/water flow is deactivated after the washing cycle is over. Device indexes the vials for next wash. A separate pumping station gives the right quantum of water at the desired pressure. Washed containers are again inverted to neck upward position to collect in trays or directly feed to sterilizing tunnel.

FAQ of Automatic Linear Vial Washing Machine
What are the available models and their production capacities?
Adinath offers two standard models:
- ALVW-80: 40 to 80 vials per minute
- ALVW-150: 80 to 150 vials per minute
Both models handle vial diameters from 15mm to 35mm.
What washing cycle does the machine provide?
The machine is equipped with 7 washing stations — 4 water washes (Fresh Water, DM Water, WFI, etc.) and 3 air washes. The washing sequence is fully flexible and can be customized as per customer requirements. Nozzles enter inside the vials for positive and pressurized cleaning.
What safety and efficiency features does the machine have?
Key features include:
- “No Vial – No Washing” system
- “No Washing – No Water Supply” system
- Quick changeover with minimum tools
- Variable AC frequency drive for speed control
- Low water consumption
- Vial counter for production output
- All contact parts in SS 316L and non-contact parts in SS 304
How does the vial washing process work?
Vials are fed from the infeed turntable, visually inspected, and inverted to neck-down position. They move through an indexing device where washing nozzles enter the vials to perform sequential water and air washes. After washing, vials are inverted back to neck-up position and can be collected in trays or directly fed to a sterilizing/depyrogenation tunnel.
