Machine overview

Rotary Gripper Vial Washing Machine Manufacturer in India

H M Pharma Machines manufactures the Rotary Gripper Vial Washing Machine in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Its rotary gripper system holds and transfers vials from 2 mL to 100 mL through the defined internal and external washing stages.

The machine is available in four separate output models: 120 VPM, 180 VPM, 240 VPM and 320 VPM. VPM means vials per minute and identifies the rated output configuration.

The process arrangement includes six internal stages in the sequence RC water, air, PW, air, WFI and air. Two additional 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, high- and low-level sensing and a process-pressure system.

Why this machine

Designed for High-Speed, Defined Vial Washing

2 mL to 100 mL Vial Range

The rotary gripper arrangement handles approved vial configurations across the specified range.

Four Output Models

Select 120, 180, 240 or 320 VPM according to the required production output.

Six Internal Stages

The internal sequence uses RC water, PW, WFI and alternating air stages.

Two External Stages

The external vial surface passes through RC water followed by an air stage.

Separate Process Tanks

Three 40 L tanks separately serve RC water, PW and WFI.

Automatic Process Protection

Tank-level controls, HMI pressure monitoring and utility interlocks protect the washing process.

Washing process

How the Vial Washing Process Works

The machine carries vials through four main handling phases, with the exact internal and external media sequence shown below.

Step 01

Infeed & Gripping

Vials enter through the approved handling arrangement and are held by the rotary gripper system.

Step 02

Internal Washing

Six internal stages apply RC water, PW, WFI and air in the defined order.

Step 03

External Washing

Two external stages apply RC water followed by air to the vial outer surface.

Step 04

Outfeed

Washed vials leave the machine through the approved discharge arrangement.

Exact wash cycle

Six-Stage Internal Vial Washing Sequence

Each gripped vial 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 vial outer surface.

External Stage 01 — RC Water

RC water is applied to the vial 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 vial-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

Model Selection with Traceable Documentation

Four Output Choices

Select the 120, 180, 240 or 320 VPM model according to the required production output.

2 mL to 100 mL Vial Configuration

Vial handling and final suitability within the stated range are confirmed from the vial sample or drawing.

Defined Process Media

The approved process uses separate RC water, PW and WFI services with alternating air stages.

Documentation & Traceability

The documentation package includes 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. Component TCs are matched to serial numbers, and the electrical wiring diagram and machine layout are also supplied.
