i-Dositecno External Vial Washing Machines

Rest assured that the exterior surfaces of your vials are fully decontaminated, and all particulates removed with the i-Dositecno External Vial Washing Machine; a simple, robust, high-quality vial washing solution that promises to increase efficiency, minimize false rejects and increase operator safety – all while complying with cGMP guidelines.

Saving precious floor space – With its compact design, the i-Dositecno range of in-line External Vial Washing Machines are perfect for companies with limited manufacturing space. Capable of washing up to 100 vials per minute with our EVW-60, or as many as 400 vials per minute with the EVW-100, there’s a vial washing solution to suit all needs. And for maximum sterility and containment, the EVW-100 is compatible with glove ports, a wash down wand, and an air handling system with bag in and bag out HEPA filters.

Cleaner and dryer vials – Vials enter the machine fully sealed, preventing water and cleaning agent from entering the cap area (even at 90-psi pressure). They leave the machine visibly dry thanks to compressed air or an on-board air blower in the base of the machine – the choice is yours. Our external vial washers use a vial-dedicated timing screw over the length of the machine to capture, rotate and transport vials on a narrow rail through the machine, eliminating the need for conveyor belts. There are two models available:

EVW-60

• Throughput: Process up to 100 vials per minute
• Vial range: 2 – 100 mL
• Changeover: Less than 20 min; no tools are required, and only the vial transport timing screw needs to be changed

EVW-100

• Throughput: Process up to 400 vials per minute
• Vial range: 2 – 500 mL
• Changeover: 5 min; no tools are required, and only the vial transport timing screw needs to be changed

• Pharmaceutical & Biotech

• Built for longevity – a stainless-steel, heavy-duty construction with tempered glass windows and doors
• Smooth, secure transport – a single feed screw transports vials across a stationary acetyl copolymer rail, ensuring all surfaces of the vials are exposed to the cleaning and drying processes
• Protection, protection, protection – vials are suspended by a linear transfer belt that seals and protects the cap from moisture
• Simple validation – the position of the spray nozzles to the vial is pre-determined by a recipe of servo-driven commands allowing cleaning effectiveness to be validated with ease
• Keep track with Allen Bradley PLC-controlled servo motors that automatically set the output rate, vial height and water/air flow for each vial size, while the human machine interface (HMI) ensures you get consistent feedback
• An air handling system can provide containment and sterility assurance, by maintaining a negative pressure in the enclosure compared to the room and upstream isolator. A bag in and bag out option is available for high potency products
• Vials can discharge from the machine onto a conveyor or crowd feed into a tray off collection area
