c-GMP Design
PennTech vial washers are constructed of AISI-304
series stainless steel (non contact parts) and
AISI-316L series stainless steel (contact parts).
All sanitary piping is electropolished internally.
Optionally, all contact parts are polished/
electropolished to a 24 Ra or better.
All connections are sanitary type; orbital welds are
used throughout.
All pipes are sloped to a 2 angle to prevent water
stagnation while assuring complete draining of
the machine.
Functionality
• Removal of particulate matter; six washing and
air-blow stations for interior and exterior cleaning
• Intrinsically designed to obtain a 3-log reduction in
bacterial endotoxin and to remove a NaCl - solution
• The vial washer is capable of handling a full range
of vials and bottles from 1-100ml, glass or plastic
• Output (vial size dependent): up to 100 vials/min
Simplicity • Menu driven operation with fault indication
• PLC assisted, 10-15 minute changeover
• Automatic vial size specific setting of washing time,
indexing time, drive speeds, etc.
• Direct servo-drive, no belts, no chains, no gears
• No moving parts within the frame of the machine
• Virtually maintenance-free
• Stationery spray pipes, no chance of nozzle bending
or vial breakage
Efficiency
• Low WFI consumption; average 4-6 liters WFI/min
• Each vial format uses an optimum amount of WFI, no more,
no less
• Smallest footprint of any automatic vial washer in the industry
(40 x 40 inches)
• Intermittent water and air blowing (optional)
