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 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, 180 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 40 L tanks are provided for RC water, PW and WFI, together with three process pumps, automatic level controls, HMI pressure monitoring and safety interlocks.

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.

Process control & protection

Automatic Monitoring for Water, Air and Tank Level

The control system monitors the ampoule-washing utilities and protects the process when a required condition is not available.

Automatic Tank Feeding

High and low level sensors are provided in the RC, PW and WFI tanks. When a tank level calls for water, its feeding valve switches on automatically.

Low-Level Machine Stop

If the required inlet water is unavailable and an RC, PW or WFI tank reaches its low-level limit, the machine stops automatically.

Continuous HMI Pressure Display

Pressure transmitters monitor RC water, PW, WFI and compressed air continuously on the HMI auto screen.

Utility-Pressure Interlocks

If the required RC water, PW, WFI or air pressure is unavailable, the relevant interlock stops the machine automatically.

Configuration & documents

What does APM mean?

APM means ampoules per minute and identifies the rated output model.

How do ampoules enter the washing machine?

Ampoules travel from the mesh conveyor into the infeed feedworm, then into the infeed starwheel and finally into the rotary gripper washing machine.

How many internal and external washing stages are provided?

The ampoule washer has six internal washing stages and two external washing stages.

What is the six-stage internal washing sequence?

The internal sequence is RC water, air, PW, air, WFI and air.

What is the external washing sequence?

The two external stages are RC water followed by air.

Which process-water media are used?

The washing process uses RC water, PW and WFI, together with air stages.

What do RC, PW and WFI mean?
