Steriline linear washing machines AW and VW series are designed to process vials and other containers with a capacity up to 40.000 pcs/h. All parts that come in contact with the interior of the glassware and process fluids are made of AISI 316L stainless steel. Other parts, such as the frame, shafts, and bearings are made of AISI 304 stainless steel.
The washing cycle can include ultrasonic bath, recycled water, new water, compressed air, siliconization, hot air drying and other options as required.
Pressure and temperature of the various fluids are monitored to assure constant performances. Vials are processed in unidirectional way, avoiding any potential contamination.
The vials are handled gently with low speed motion. Quiet, shock reducing, acetalic resin components prevent vial breakage and promote proper vial alignment throughout the process.
The integrated control system, including PLC and HMI automatically controls all the functional parameters of the machine, according to various glassware size and type. Parameters are stored in different recipes, protected by password and accessible only by supervisor and authorized personnel. Alarms are automatically displayed on the screen.
All Steriline washing machines are in compliance with cGMP, GAMP and 21CFR Part11 requirements.
