Mesh-conveyor, feed worm and star wheel handling for rotary gripper ampoule washing
Machine overview
Rotary Gripper Ampoule Washing Machine Manufacturer in India
H M Pharma Machines manufactures the Rotary Gripper Ampoule Washing Machine in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. It is configured for glass ampoules from 1–20 mL.
Ampoules are transferred from the mesh conveyor through the feed worm and infeed star wheel before entering the rotary gripper washing machine. The machine is available in 120 APM, 150 APM, 240 APM and 320 APM models; APM means ampoules per minute.
The process arrangement includes six internal stages in the sequence RC water, air, PW, air, WFI and air. Two external stages apply RC water followed by air. Separate process tanks can serve RC water, PW and WFI; tank capacities, pump scope, level controls, pressure monitoring and interlocks are finalized in the approved order.

Ampoule infeed sequence
How Ampoules Enter the Washing Machine
The ampoule infeed system provides a defined transfer path from bulk loading to the rotary gripper washing section.
Mesh Conveyor
Ampoules are loaded and carried forward on the mesh conveyor.
feed worm
The feed worm spaces and transfers ampoules from the mesh conveyor.
Infeed star wheel
The infeed star wheel receives the spaced ampoules and transfers them toward the machine.
Rotary Gripper Machine
Ampoules enter the rotary gripper washing machine for the defined wash cycle.
Published reference wash cycle
Six-Stage Internal Ampoule Washing Sequence
Each gripped ampoule passes through the following six internal water and air stages.
RC Water
Recirculated water provides the first internal wash.
Air
An air stage follows the RC water wash.
PW
Purified Water provides the next internal wash.
Air
An air stage follows the PW wash.
WFI
Water for Injection provides the final water stage.
Air
The final air stage completes the internal cycle.
Terminology: RC means recirculated water, PW means Purified Water and WFI means Water for Injection.
External washing sequence: two stages are provided for the ampoule outer surface.
External Stage 01 — RC Water
RC water is applied to the ampoule outer surface.
External Stage 02 — Air
An air stage follows the external RC water wash.
