These machines thoroughly clean the internal and external surfaces of glass (and plastic) vials to remove particulates, residues, fibers, microorganisms, and pyrogens/endotoxins. This ensures low bioburden, sterility assurance, and compliance with cGMP, FDA, WHO, and USP standards before vials enter a sterilizing/depyrogenation tunnel and aseptic filling line for injectables, vaccines, or biologics.

Capacities vary by model: Multijet models reach up to ~100 vials/ampoules per minute (or higher hourly rates depending on needle plate); linear and high-speed models typically handle 100–120 vials per minute (VW-120/AVRW 120 range) up to 200–250 vials per minute (AVW-250/AVRW 240 range). Output depends on vial size, configuration, and operator efficiency.

Most models process glass and plastic vials from 2 ml to 100 ml or up to 250 ml. Many linear and rotary designs require no change parts for common sizes (e.g., 5 ml to 30 ml) thanks to special pocket systems. Multijet washers also handle 1 ml to 20 ml ampoules alongside vials.

Vials are typically inverted (neck-down) and indexed through stations with high-pressure internal jets/needles and external multijet sprays. Standard sequences include 4–6 (or up to 6–8) alternating water and compressed-air washes using media such as recycled WFI, DM/purified water, fresh WFI, and air. Independent circuits prevent cross-contamination, and cycles are customizable.

All product-contact parts are AISI SS 316L (tanks, trays, pumps, nozzles, filter housings). The machine structure is typically AISI SS 304. Features include argon-welded round-corner tanks, HDPE pockets, PLC/HMI controls with password protection and printing, and robust design for continuous operation.

Yes. Washed vials are discharged neck-up and can connect directly (often with back pressure) to sterilizing/depyrogenation tunnels and downstream filling systems. Linear/tunnel designs especially support continuous flow and seamless line integration.

Yes. Compact Multijet Vial Washers suit small-to-medium batches, R&D labs, and pilot plants with semi-automatic tray loading. Fully automatic linear, rotary, high-speed, and tunnel models are designed for medium-to-large continuous production with minimal operator intervention.

Key features include special clutch devices that stop the machine if a vial is overturned or oversized, no vial-to-vial contact designs, spring-loaded mechanisms, variable AC frequency drives, “No Vial – No Washing” systems (on some models), acrylic safety covers/interlocks, and user-friendly operation suitable even for semi-skilled operators. Machines are built for long continuous running hours.

Yes. Washing cycles, tank configurations, PLC systems, and other features can be adjusted to customer requirements. IQ/OQ documentation is available on relevant models. We export to a wide range of countries across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, and our engineering team supports customized, cGMP-compliant solutions.
