Operation:
Ampoules, vial are fed on to in infeed conveyor or alternatively hopper from where they are fed to a worm and than star wheel and delivered to a revolving conveying system consisting of gripper equally spaced. V-grippers are mounted on the circumference of the gripper ring, which rotates around a vertical axis. The horizontal rotation of the aumpoules through 180 degree. During the infeed as well as the opening and closing of the gripper is cam-controlled. Ampoules and vial are passed through the cleaning stations upside down.
At the individual stations, a spray tube travel in synchronism with ampoules, vials. The spray tubes follow the continuously moving grippers. From the start to the finish of a working station and retract
Washing cycle maximum 6 stations in any configuration:-
1.SIMPLE AND ROBUST CONSTRUCTION FOR LONG LIFE AND CONTINUOUS SERVICE.
2.Internal blow-dry with compressed air (1 station)
3.Spraying with fresh water (1 station)
4.Operating with wfi (1 station)
5.Internal & external cleaning by spraying with re-circulated water (isolation)
Construction & mode of operation Machine (stand alone)
Basic construction Machine base and framework is made of m.s. Antirust treated, painted and cladding in ss 304 with ss 304 guarding on all sides.
Driven by ac motor with speed variation through ac inverter.
A) Ampoules & vials infeed & transfer
Aumpoules are directly fed into infeed loader of ss 304 infeed hopper can accommodate 120-mm width tray.
From infeed, aumpoules are transferred to infeed magazine
Aumpoules are then singled out into individual lanes.
A gripper at a set station holds on individual positioned aumpoules at their necks.
The aumpoules are subsequently inverted by 180 degrees by a cam before the washing station, washing treatment takes on the vials as per the set cycle.
B) Main cleaning
Inverted aumpoules with their mouth at the bottom end are process through various washing cycles.
The drum on which gripper are mounted moves at a uniform speed. Depending upon the washing cycle the cleaning media is jetted intermittently on to the aumpoules.
Standard version is designed for 4 cleaning media (filtered recycle water, dm water, w.f.i. & compressed air) at six stations.
C) Ampoules discharge
After the washing cycle the washed aumpoules are again re inverted to their original position and then transferred on to the out feed magazine by a star wheel.
D) Re-circulation water system
Recirculation pump (ss 316)
Suction side of re-circulating pump consisting of re-circulating water tank, sieve filter.
Discharge side of re-circulating pump consisting of filter housing to accommodate 1 x 10 doe filter element.
Also fitted on discharge line, diaphragm valve, pressure switch, gauges, triclover camp
One side of needle bars for cleaning stations.
Filter cartridge available on request at an additional cost
E) Cleaning by compressed air
Filter housing to accommodate 1 x 10 code 7 filter element solenoid & pipeline. 3 sets of needle bars for cleaning the vials at 3 stations. Each set valve, pressure switch, gauge, diaphragm valve, triclover clamp has needles filter cartridge available on request at an additional cost.
F) Cleaning by purified water
Filter housing to accommodate 1 x 10 code 7-filter element with diaphragm, pressure switch, gauge, solenoid valve, triclover clamp and connected pipeline).
One set of needle bar for cleaning at one station.
Filter cartridge available on request at an additional cost.
G) Cleaning by wfi.
One set of needle for cleaning aumpoules at one station with solenoid valve, pressure switch, gauge, diaphragm valve and related pipeline.
Filter cartridge available on request at an additional cost.
H) Electrical installation
All electrical components fixed in ss panel with main display facing infeed.
Interlocked with guard, air pressure, and water level for running of machine. Ac drive included.
I) 1 set of change parts supplied along with the basic machines includes needles, in feed turret, out feed turret.
Salient features:
SS finish gmp model
Operation by the rotary travel system.
Compact space swing construction, suitable for later extension to a compact processing line.
As parts that come in contact with the cleaning media are made from stainless steel 316 and the parts, which come in contact with ampoules/vials, are in addition made from special plastics.
Neat separation of ampoules/vials, feed, cleaning process and out feed.
The spray media are fed to the spraying stations in separate pipes without abrasion promoting mechanical drives.
Exterior easy to clean & non-corrosive material.
Electrical interlocks through plc start, stop and machine stop in case of faults.
All faults displayed on 2 line alphanumeric display. Mitsubishi make having 40 i/os.
