Machine overview
Linear Tunnel Vial Washing Machine Manufacturer in India
H M Pharma Machines manufactures the Linear Tunnel Type Vial Washing Machine in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The HMLVWM series is offered for approved glass-vial formats from 2 mL to 100 mL as HMLVWM-120 (120 VPM), HMLVWM-150 (150 VPM), HMLVWM-180 (180 VPM) and HMLVWM-240 (240 VPM).
A wire-woven infeed belt transfers vials toward the infeed handling system. Mechanical cams load and unload the vials, while HDPE pockets carry them through ten internal washing positions using compressed air, recirculated water, fresh Purified Water and fresh WFI in the defined order.
Three process tanks and three process pumps support the process circuits; tank capacity and material, plus pump rating and contact material, are finalized in the approved order. Final output, change parts, wash configuration and tunnel interface are confirmed against the approved glass-vial sample, drawing and user requirement specification.

Vial handling process
How the Linear Tunnel Vial Washing Machine Works
The machine moves approved glass-vial formats through four controlled handling phases.
Wire-Woven Belt Infeed
The infeed belt transfers approved glass-vial formats toward the machine handling system.
Cam Loading into Pockets
Mechanical cams load the vials into HDPE pockets for controlled linear movement.
Internal & External Washing
The pockets carry vials through ten internal wash positions and the approved external-wash arrangement.
Cam Unloading & Transfer
Mechanical cams unload washed vials through the outfeed prism and pusher toward the tunnel-conveyor interface.
Exact wash cycle
Ten-Position Internal Vial Washing Sequence
The internal sequence combines compressed air, recirculated water, fresh Purified Water and fresh WFI in the following order.
Compressed Air
Initial internal air stage.
Recirculated Water
First internal RC-water wash.
Recirculated Water
Second internal RC-water wash.
Compressed Air
Air stage after the RC-water washes.
Fresh PW
First fresh Purified Water wash.
Compressed Air
Air stage after the first fresh-PW wash.
Fresh PW
Second fresh Purified Water wash.
Compressed Air
Air stage before the WFI wash.
Fresh WFI
Final internal water wash.
Compressed Air
Final internal air stage.
Configuration note: the ten wash positions can be adjusted against the approved customer washing process and user requirement specification. RC means recirculated water, PW means Purified Water and WFI means Water for Injection.
External washing: any external wash stages and media are finalized in the approved configuration.
External Wash Configuration
External stages, if required, are defined in the approved order.
Approved Media Selection
External wash media are selected against the approved process requirement.
