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 glass ampoules from 1 mL to 20 mL.

Ampoules are transferred from the mesh conveyor through the infeed feedworm and infeed starwheel 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.

Step 01

Mesh Conveyor

Ampoules are loaded and carried forward on the mesh conveyor.

Step 02

Infeed Feedworm

The infeed feedworm spaces and transfers ampoules from the mesh conveyor.

Step 03

Infeed Starwheel

The infeed starwheel receives the spaced ampoules and transfers them toward the machine.

Step 04

Rotary Gripper Machine

Ampoules enter the rotary gripper washing machine for the defined wash cycle.

Exact wash cycle

Six-Stage Internal Ampoule Washing Sequence

Each gripped ampoule passes through the following six internal water and air stages.

Stage 01

RC Water

Recycled water provides the first internal wash.

Stage 02

Air

An air stage follows the RC water wash.

Stage 03

PW

Purified Water provides the next internal wash.

Stage 04

Air

An air stage follows the PW wash.

Stage 05

WFI

Water for Injection provides the final water stage.

Stage 06

Air

The final air stage completes the internal cycle.

Terminology: RC means recycled 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.
