Linear Vial Washer (Linear Vial Washing Machine)
The LinearVial Washer is a high-performance, automated washing system designed to
clean pharmaceutical vials with precision and efficiency. Ideal for pharma
and biotech industries, this machine uses a combination of pressurizedwater and air jets to remove particulate, chemical, and microbial
contaminants from the inner and outer surfaces of vials before sterilization
and filling.
Engineered
with stainless steel construction (SS 316/304), the Linear Vial Washer
operates in a linear format, ensuring easy vial movement, minimal
vial-to-vial contact, and high-speed cleaning. Its modular design, multiple
washing stations, and programmable cleaning cycles ensure GMP compliance,maximum sterility, and minimal operator intervention, making it a
critical component in aseptic processing.
Top 10 FAQs
- What is a Linear Vial Washer
used for?
It is used to thoroughly clean pharmaceutical vials before
sterilization and filling processes.
- What vial sizes can it
handle?
Most machines can handle vial sizes ranging from 2 ml to 100 ml,
with adjustable change parts.
- What cleaning mediums are
used?
Typically uses deionized water (WFI), compressed air, detergent
solutions, and optionally clean steam.
- What is the output capacity
of the machine?
Output ranges from 60 to 400 vials per minute (VPM) depending on
the model and vial size.
- Is the machine compliant
with pharmaceutical standards?
Yes, it is designed in accordance with GMP, cGMP, and FDA
guidelines.
- Can the machine be
integrated with sterilizers or filling lines?
Absolutely. It is often integrated with depylrogenation tunnels,
sterilizers, and vial filling/sealing machines.
- Is there any vial breakage
during washing?
The linear design minimizes vial contact, significantly reducing the risk
of breakage or chipping.
- How many washing stations
does it typically include?
Usually between 4 to 8 stations, each dedicated to different washing
or drying steps.
- What materials are used in
construction?
Contact parts are typically made of SS 316L, and non-contact parts
of SS 304, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Does the machine have
validation features?
Yes, equipped with SCADA/PLC-based controls, data logging, batch
records, and validation documentation (DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ).
