Machine overview

Automatic Bottle Washing Machine Manufacturer in India

H M Pharma Machines manufactures the Rotary Gripper Bottle Washing Machine in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. It is designed for efficient internal and external washing of bottles before the filling process. Its rotary gripper system holds each bottle securely through the washing cycle for reliable handling and controlled cleaning.

The machine is suitable for pharmaceutical manufacturers where bottle hygiene and process consistency are important. It can be configured for bottles from 50 mL to 500 mL, with output up to 80 bottles per minute depending on bottle size and the approved application.

The washing arrangement includes six internal stages in a defined R.C. water, air and PW/DM water sequence, plus two external washing stations. Two 40-litre tanks, two 1 HP pumps and dedicated water and air filters support the process, while HMI-monitored pressure transmitters and tank-level interlocks help protect operation.

Why this machine

Designed for Clean, Controlled and Consistent Operation

Rotary Gripper Handling

Secure bottle holding during the washing cycle supports reliable container movement.

Defined Internal Sequence

Six internal stations alternate R.C. water, PW/DM water and filtered air in a controlled order.

External Surface Cleaning

Two external washing stations support cleaning of the bottle outer surface.

Dedicated Filtration

Separate 10, 5 and 0.2 micron filters are provided for R.C. water, PW/DM water and air.

HMI Process Monitoring

R.C. water, PW/DM water and air pressure are continuously visible on the HMI auto screen.

Automatic Safeguards

Tank-level and utility-pressure interlocks stop the machine when required process conditions are unavailable.

Washing sequence

How the Bottle Washing Process Works

The standard machine flow follows these four handling stages; the exact six-station internal washing sequence is shown immediately below.

Step 01

Infeed & Gripping

Bottles enter the machine and are held securely by the rotary gripper mechanism.

Step 02

Internal Washing

Six internal stations apply the defined RC water, PW/DM water and filtered-air sequence.

Step 03

External Washing

Two external washing stations clean the outer bottle surface.

Step 04

Outfeed

Clean bottles leave the washing machine for collection or transfer by the optional outfeed conveyor.

Exact internal cycle

Six-Stage Internal Washing Sequence

Each gripped bottle passes through the following six internal washing and air-blowing stations.

Station 01

R.C. Water

Filtered recycled water provides the first internal wash.

Station 02

Filtered Air

Compressed air follows the first water wash.

Station 03

PW/DM Water

Purified or demineralized water provides the next internal rinse.

Station 04

Filtered Air

Compressed air follows the PW/DM rinse.

Station 05

PW/DM Water

A second purified or demineralized water rinse is applied.

Station 06

Filtered Air

The final air-blowing stage completes the internal cycle.

Terminology: R.C. means recycled water. PW/DM means purified water or demineralized water, according to the approved process configuration.

Process control & protection

Automatic Monitoring for Water, Air and Tank Level

The control system monitors the 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 tanks. When the level calls for water, the tank feeding valve switches on automatically.

Low-Level Machine Stop

If inlet water is unavailable and the tank falls to its low-level limit, the machine stops automatically to protect the washing cycle.

Continuous HMI Pressure Display

Pressure transmitters monitor R.C. water, PW/DM water and compressed air continuously on the HMI auto screen.

Utility-Pressure Alarm & Interlocks

If any required R.C.-water, PW/DM-water or compressed-air pressure is low or unavailable, the control system generates an alarm and stops the machine automatically.

Configuration, integration & documents

Production-Ready Supply with Traceable Documentation

42-Inch Infeed Turntable

A 42-inch turntable is provided on the infeed side for loading bottles into the washing machine.

Optional Outfeed Conveyor

A conveyor can be added at the machine outfeed to transfer clean bottles to the next packaging process.

Line Integration

The washing machine can be integrated with filling, capping, labeling and conveying equipment for a complete packaging line.

Documentation & Traceability

The approved order may include Design Qualification (DQ), Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), Performance Qualification (PQ), Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and Site Acceptance Test (SAT) documents, plus the HMI Manual and Operation Manual.
