Automatic In-Line Vial Cleaning System

Product catalog summary
Overview
The AW160 is an automatic in-line vial cleaning system designed for efficient and sanitary cleaning of glass vials and bottles. It features a streamlined, low-profile design with a programmable controller for managing all machine logic functions. The system uses a universal vial carrier that accommodates neck sizes from 13mm to 32mm, eliminating the need for frequent carrier changes.
Washing Principle
The AW160 employs a washing principle where carriers hold containers by the neck throughout the washing process. Containers are securely held in an inverted upright position, allowing cleaning solutions to impinge directly onto the container's base for a uniform cascading flow. The process begins with air jets removing loose particles, followed by a series of up to eleven cleaning stations that sanitize the containers.
Features
  • Speeds up to 160 bottles per minute (BPM)
  • Nozzle penetration of containers without contact with vial interiors
  • Segregated wash stations to prevent cross-contamination
  • Low Water for Injection (WFI) consumption
  • Flexible wash sequence and customizable wash time
  • Air-vacuum pre-cleaning and discharge system to prevent recontamination
System Description
The AW160 includes two air/vacuum cleaning stations, six internal cleaning stations, and two external wash stations. It is equipped with 38 universal vial carriers and uses ITT diaphragm valves with Teflon seals. The construction materials include 316L stainless steel for nozzles and piping, and 304 stainless steel for exterior surfaces.

Automatic In-Line Vial Cleaning System-2

WASHING PRINCIPLE The carriers pick up and hold containers by the outside of the neck throughout the entire washing process. Containers are held securely in the inverted upright position while cleaning solutions impinge directly onto the center of the container's base, allowing a uniform cascading flow patter. The glassware is directed into the washing tunnel via a moving mesh conveyor, which channels containers into rows for acceptance. Before the washing process takes place, the first two internal stations remove loose particles with a jet stream of air from the stainless steel cleaning nozzles....
