Description

The Multijet Ampoule Vial Washer is a semi-automatic, compact, and versatile cleaning system designed to meet cGMP standards for pharmaceutical applications. It is constructed from stainless steel, with contact parts made from Stainless Steel 316L or FDA-approved materials, ensuring durability and compliance with regulatory requirements. This versatile machine is ideal for small to medium-scale pharmaceutical, biotech, veterinary, and R&D laboratories. It effectively removes dust, particles, fibers, and residues from containers ranging from 1ml to 20ml ampoules and 2ml to 100ml vials using interchangeable change parts and different needle plates. The machine operates on a positive pressurized multi-jet principle with a pressure tank that ensures continuous and reverse supply of washing media. It delivers up to 6 sequential washes (3 water + 3 air) with minimal consumption of DM Water, Purified Air, and Water for Injection (WFI).

Ampoules or vials are loaded manually into a combi tray.

The tray is placed in the machine and the handlebar is lowered to automatically center the washing needles into the container necks.

The acrylic top cover is closed and the cycle is started via the control panel.

The machine performs automatic sequential washing using filtered, pressurized jets for both internal and external cleaning.

After completion of the cycle, the machine stops automatically with a buzzer and indicator light.

The cleaned containers are then unloaded manually and are ready for sterilization or further processing.

Working Principle of Multijet Ampoule Vial Washer

Ampoules are loaded in bulk onto combi tray if received in ready to dump boxes, which will have exactly same number of Ampoules and the pitch, as loading tray. Alternatively, each Ampoule/Vial has to be arranged into the tray individually. The loading tray is placed directly into the machine & the handlebar is lowered for automatic centering of washing needles into the Ampoules neck. The top cover is lowered & switch is operated for automatic sequential washing. Washing is performed from inside and outside of each individual Ampoule. Machine automatically stops after one complete washing cycle with buzzer sound and red-light indication. For removal of tray, reverse procedure is to be observed. Depending on loading & operator’s efficiency one can achieve 30 loading trays in an hour.

Multijet Ampoule and Vial Washing Machine is valued for its robust design, ease of operation (even by semi-skilled operators), and ability to deliver sterile, contaminant-free ampoules and vials, critical for pharmaceutical filling processes.

Key Features of Multijet Ampoule Vial Washer

Sequential Washing: Utilizes positive and pressurized jets through washing needles for both internal and external cleaning, ensuring thorough and continuous cleaning with minimal use of washing media. The standard unit features a mechanical motorized cam-operated valve system that performs six washing cycles in one operation. Alternatively, timer-operated solenoid valve systems or microprocessor-controlled sequences can be incorporated based on customer requirements.

Loading and Operation: Ampoules or vials can be loaded using a dump loading procedure (if received in ready-to-dump boxes matching the tray’s pitch) or manually arranged into combi trays made of cast nylon, with needle plates of 53, 100, 189, 240, or 340 holes to accommodate different ampoule diameters. The loading tray is placed into the machine, and a handlebar lowers to automatically center the washing needles into the ampoule or vial mouths.

Applications: Widely used in small to medium-scale injectable organizations, research and development, and pilot-scale production due to its reliability and adaptability.

Design: Multijet Ampoule Vial Washer enclosed stainless steel construction ensures compliance with GMP standards, and its pressure tank design supports reverse and continuous supply of washing media for efficient cleaning.
