Introduction of Rotary Ampoule Washing Machine
Ampoule & vial washing machine conforming to the latest GMP standards. The machine is enclosed in stainless steel construction with the flexibility to aseptically clean ampoules with minimum contact between the machine parts and the container.
Working Process of Rotary Ampoule Washing Machine
The rotary ampoule washing machine has a specially designed automatic gripping mechanism that holds ampoules from the neck, inverts them and cleans them before discharging them in the feed worm system in an upright position. Finally, bottles will be funnelled into a tunnel oven by an outlet mechanism.
