Process Operation

Ampoules feed from the Infeed tray are received on an Infeed Feedworm then moves on Infeed starwheel. The Grippers picks up the Ampoule from Infeed Star Wheel and invert it in neck down position over washing needles and move along with the needle bar for Washing. On completion of a cycle, washed Ampoules are again inverted to neck upward position and feed to output star wheel. Washed Ampoules received from output starwheel can be collected on Output Tray or can be pushed to tunnel. A separate pumping station (optional) gives the right quantum of water at the desired pressure. In the absent of separate pumping station we can provide the re-circulation & siliconization system on request

One set of knife blocks are provided on each conveyor for air. The air sprayed through this knifes . The knifes are fitted in a inclined manner which ensures that is sprayed reaches each corner of the vial which are previously washer. After washing and drying the vials are guided to the out feed turn Table. Before reaching the out feed Turn Table a special arrangement is provided to dry the vial from the bottom side . A set of Syringes are provided on the sides of each conveyor at the exit end which sprays the air jet on the bottom part of vial resulting in the drying of the vials This machine is completely operated by PLC . A covering of Acrylic cabinet is provided in the machine which when opened up during the operation immediately stops the supply of water &air and shows the indication which alarm in the PLC.

Containers feed from the de-cartooning station are received on an Infeed turn table through visual inspection unit. An in feed worm inverts container to neck down position and feeds them through a specially designed indexing device. The device carries the container forward and stops. Nozzles carrier enters into the container and activities the jet of water/air. The air/water flow is deactivated after the washing cycle is over. Device indexes the vials for next wash. A separate pumping station gives the right quantum of water at the desired pressure. Washed containers are again inverted to neck upward position to collect in trays or directly feed to sterilizing tunnel.
