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. Vials are loaded on the turntable, transferred through the infeed starwheel and then handed to the rotary gripper system, which carries approved 2 mL to 100 mL vials through the defined internal and external washing stages.

The machine is available in four separate output models: 120 VPM, 150 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 process tanks can serve RC water, PW and WFI; tank capacities, pump scope, level sensing and pressure monitoring are finalized in the approved order.

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

Turntable Infeed & Gripping

Vials are loaded on the turntable, transferred to the infeed starwheel and then handed to the rotary gripper washing machine.

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.
