Bottle Washing Machines are ideal for washing injection bottles, laboratory glassware, feeding bottles, infusion bottles, medicine bottles, ampoules, cartridges and syringes. Bottle washing machines are widely used by many industries for fast and efficient washing, sterilizing and drying of bottles before being filled with solutions, liquids or powders. Bottle Washing Machine is designed to clean various types of glass bottles or plastic, metal containers either round or odd shape, subjecting to a series of distinct processing operations.

The two type of Bottle Washing Machine are

• Linear Bottle Washing Machine
• Rotary Bottle Washing Machine

Bottle Washing Machine Technical Specification

Operation of Bottle Washing Machine

• Water jet spray from the stationary nozzle provides a thorough clean to external surfaces of the bottles.  Meanwhile, the jet streams come out of the rotating nozzles at high pressure and bounce off the bottom of the bottle, thus cleaning all internal surfaces completely. To save amount of water supply, separated reservoirs are provided to store two recycled water sources. 
• Recycling process feeds water through 25 micron filter for rinsing water and through 1 micron filter for washing water.  As an option, electrical heater submerges in the reservoir to heat up washing water, automatically controlled to a desired temperature.
• The system is capable of washing various sizes of bottles, simply by changing bottle holders.  Process sequence and timing are adaptable to meet specific requirement of user.

Salient Features

• Pre-set washing sequences with recirculation arrangements.
• Automatic Bottle Washing Machines are very compact, rigid and having modular construction.
• All contact parts with D.M. Water, distilled water of S.S. 316 construction and argon arc welded.
• The unit built on S.S. Square pipe frame and totally encompassed with S.S. Covering in pleasing matt finished to avoid corrosion and ease of cleaning even from inside.
• The washing section is totally covered with acrylic cabinet.
• Absolutely simple machine, with only six change parts.
• The six sets of nozzles enter into the vials mouth during the washing operation ensuring penetration of washing Medias to the core a perfect washing principle.
• Fixed top nozzles at each washing station ensure external washing of bottles at the same time of internal washing.
• The flow of washing Medias stop during the indexing of chain, saving straight 25% on utilities.
• The system of solenoid valves and optional tanks, pumps and filters is engineered for long trouble free life & tool proof operation.

Vial Washing Machines are specialised equipment used for washing and sterilizing vials before being filled by pharmaceutical solutions. Vial Washing System, use carriers equipped for direct spraying while the water pressure is equally divided among the stationary spraying nozzles. Washing process is performed carrier by carrier as each carrier is manually loaded onto and unloaded from the machine. The construction is mainly of stainless steel and other corrosion-free material. Vial Washing Machines can wash between 200-300 vials per minute depending on the technical specifications of the machine.

Operation of Vial Washing Machine:

• Vial trays are directly un-loaded from which it is pushed on to the turn-table. The turn table slowly and steadily feed vials to the single track or two tracks feed warm, where vials are automatically inverted.
• The synchronized star- wheel places two vials, one to the single track or two tracks indexing chain. The indexing chain positively carries inverted pair of vials through seven sequential washes.
• The consumption of washing fluids is minimized by recirculation through filters.
• Basically, water for the washing cycle is heated up by electrical immersion heating element in the tank of the washer and maintain at the set of temperature throughout the washing process.
• The system is capable of washing various sizes of vial, simply by changing vial carriers.  Process sequence and timing are adaptable to meet users’ requirement.
• At the end of washing operation vials are re-inverted back into original and collected in the tray.

Washing Process Steps of Vial Washing Machine:

• Rinse Spray tap water onto internal and external surface to sweep away soluble dirt or loosely adhered particles with D.I. water
• Dry Supply clean compressed air to remove water droplets at internal surface of the vial  
• Wash Clean internal and external surface with D.I. water
• Dry Feed clean compressed air to remove water droplet at the internal surface 
• Final Wash use D.I. water to wash internal and external surface of vial
• Final Dry supply clean compressed air to the internal area of vial
