Process Operation of High Speed Automatic Rotary Ampoule & Vial Washing Machine
Vials pushed from in feed tray and then move on wire woven conveyor belt, which align the vial in correct position, to enter in to the carrier pocket with help of oscillating guide rails. Oscillating arm deliver the vial inside pocket in mouth down position over spraying nozzles. Multijet sprayers fixed at the top cause the total external and internal surface to be washed. To avoid any possible cross contamination between two different waters, each washing station is provided with an independent circuit. Carrier pocket is moving with indexing motion. When the baskets have completed their motion the needles are lifted. They penetrate the vials, spraying jets of water or compressed air then return down. The baskets movement then advances by one station. Each station of vials passes through the washing cycles selected. The duly washed vials then delivered to the out feed tray with neck opening upward and then automatically re ordered to sterilizing tunnel with back pressure.

FAQ of High Speed Automatic Rotary Ampoule & Vial Washing Machine
What are the available models and their production capacities?
The machine is available in two models:
- AVRW 120: Up to 100 ampoules/vials per minute
- AVRW 240: Up to 200–240 ampoules/vials per minute
It supports 1 ml to 25 ml ampoules and 2 ml to 100 ml vials with the help of change parts.
What is the washing process and how does it prevent cross-contamination?
Containers are held by neck grippers, inverted, and washed through 6 internal washing zones using 18 jets. Each zone has an independent circuit with dedicated pumps and tanks. The process includes internal/external washing with water and compressed air. This design, along with separate circuits, effectively prevents cross-contamination between different wash media.
