DESCRIPTION
RXPR Rotary-type high-speed sterile glass vial washing machine consists of an in-feeding section, an ultrasonic treatment section, and a final washing section. The containers go through these sections to complete the whole washing process through the prewashing and final washing steps; the washing quality of the containers can be validated.
STRUCTURAE:
- Durability and Strength: The rails are cast and can last for over 20 years without problems.
- Stability: Stable transmission through guide rails and bearings.
- Piping: Drain pipes and SS316L stainless steel pipes, electropolished and automatically welded.
- Filter: Filter integrity test – general stability test.
- Digital pressure gauge: Diaphragm-sealed type, compliant with GMP regulations / internal connection table with protection function to prevent pool water from entering and retain foreign objects.
- Pressure control valve: Manual diaphragm valve for use.
(Control: Pressurized air. Manual shower, w.fi, flush tank, circulating water, circulating water submersible) Made of ultra-high molecular weight high-density high-temperature synthetic material + added PEK material, with high toughness, no deformation after long-term use, using German M&F technology.

FAQ
1. What is a pharma cartridge washing machine?
A pharma cartridge washing machine is an automated system designed to clean pharmaceutical cartridges before filling or further processing. It uses controlled washing, rinsing, and drying cycles to remove particles, residues, and contaminants while supporting consistent GMP cleaning processes.
2.How does a pharmaceutical cartridge washer work?
The machine typically uses multiple cleaning stages, such as purified water or WFI rinsing, washing, air blowing, and drying. Parameters including washing time, temperature, pressure, and rinse cycles can be controlled to provide repeatable cleaning performance.
3.Is a pharma cartridge washing machine suitable for GMP production?
Yes. A properly designed pharmaceutical cartridge washer can incorporate hygienic construction, automated cleaning cycles, controlled process parameters, and documentation to support GMP requirements. Equipment and cleaning procedures should be qualified and validated for their intended use.
4. Can the cartridge washing process be validated?
Yes. Cleaning validation can demonstrate that the washing process consistently removes product residues, cleaning agents, and contaminants to established acceptance limits. Validation should be based on the specific cartridge material, equipment design, cleaning process, and intended application.
5. What are the benefits of an automatic cartridge washing machine?
An automatic cartridge washer provides repeatable cleaning performance, reduces manual handling, improves process consistency, and helps minimize contamination and cross-contamination risks. Programmable washing and drying cycles can also improve production efficiency and cleaning traceability.
FEATURE
1. Ultrasonic cleaning controlled by an ultrasonic generator
2. Cleaning medium pressure monitoring and automatic recording
3. Cleaning program designed according to process requirements, meeting the needs of cleaning effect verification and testing. Water injection degradation is used, saving operating costs.
4. Low noise/smooth transportation
5. Effective isolation between the cleaning area and the transmission and maintenance area, reducing the risk of cross-contamination during the cleaning process. Quick-release piping design saves time and effort in maintenance and repair.
6. Automatic water flushing in the cleaning pipeline reduces water accumulation.
7. Online filter integrity detection.
8. Safety guard uses pneumatic lifting, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
9. Counting function.
DOCUMENTATION FOR GMP/FDA VALIDATION:
QUALIFICATION
Sterile pharmaceutical preparations as injections are filled in glass vials. These vials should be cleaned properly before filling. Automatic vial washing machines are used to clean, but the process of cleaning the vials should be validated. The efficiency of these machines is verified by the following tests.
1.Chloride Content Test:
A 30% solution of sodium chloride is prepared in water. 10 containers or vials are spiked with 0.1 mL of this sodium chloride solution. Containers are swirled to coat the inner surface and evaporate the solution to dryness atroom temperature. Spiked test containers are marked in series with a permanent marker on the outer surface.
2.Particulate Matter Test:
10 gm of charcoal is dissolved to make 1% charcoal slurry. Approximately0.1 ml of charcoal slurry is used to spike each of 10 containers by swirling the container to coat the inner surface and evaporate the solution to dryness at room temperature. Spiked test containers with charcoal are marked in series with a permanent marker on the outer surface.
3.Bacterial Endotoxin Test:
Add 100 endotoxin units into 10 vials and allow them to dry at 45 – 50°C. Mark these spiked vials with permanent marker on the outer surface.
Separate 10 containers are used for each of the above tests
4.Procedure:
About 3000 vials of the selected size are loaded on the feed belt, and vial washing machine is operated as per the standard operating procedure. Place the spiked vials marked with a permanent marker in between the other vials while the machine is running. These vials should be placed at the initial, middle, and end of the washing session. Collect the marked vials after washing and store properly to avoid theother contamination from the environment. These spiked vials are analyzed separately. it should be done three times for each vial size.
5.Acceptance Criteria:
Sodium chloride content should be absent in any of the spiked vials.
Vials should be free from foreign particles & fibers on visual inspection. 10u particles should not be more than 25, and 25u particles should not be more than 3. Vials should comply with the endotoxin limit i.e 0.25 EU/vial.
