Rotary gripper ampoule washing machines for approved 1 mL to 20 mL ampoules, available in 120, 180, 240 and 320 APM output models with controlled RC water, PW, WFI and compressed-air stages.
1-20 mL • 120-320 APMMachine overview
H M Pharma Machines manufactures the Rotary Gripper Ampoule Washing Machine in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India for sterile and injectable pharmaceutical production applications.
Ampoules transfer from the mesh conveyor through an infeed feedworm and starwheel before entering the rotary gripper washing section. The platform is offered in four output configurations from 120 to 320 ampoules per minute.
Six internal stages follow the sequence RC water, air, PW, air, WFI and air. Two external stages apply RC water followed by air. Final model selection and change parts are confirmed from the approved ampoule sample or drawing, wash process and line layout.
Main machine
Review the model range below or open the detailed product page for complete specifications, controls, utilities and documentation.
Mesh-conveyor infeed, feedworm spacing, starwheel transfer and rotary gripper handling support a defined internal and external ampoule washing cycle.
Available outputs
Choose the initial model according to the required ampoules-per-minute output. Final rated performance is confirmed against the approved ampoule format.
For approved applications requiring a rated output of 120 ampoules per minute.
For approved applications requiring a rated output of 180 ampoules per minute.
For approved applications requiring a rated output of 240 ampoules per minute.
For approved applications requiring a rated output of 320 ampoules per minute.
Defined wash cycle
Each gripped ampoule passes through six internal water and air stages, followed by the defined external washing arrangement.
Initial internal wash using recycled water.
Air stage after the RC-water wash.
Internal wash using Purified Water.
Air stage after the PW wash.
Final water stage using Water for Injection.
Final internal air stage.
RC water is applied to the ampoule outer surface.
An air stage follows the external RC-water wash.
