Balcony washer cleans ampoules and vials at speed

Bausch Advanced Technology Group (BAT) willl introduce the type 308 balcony washer from German manufacturer Base Europe at this year's Achema on stand F14-F17, hall 3.1.

Designed for high speed washing of ampoules, vials and syringes, the Type 308 has a balcony design that allows the operator to maintain visual contact with the process.

Meanwhile, the separation of the cleaning and maintenance areas improves machine access for faster changeovers.

Unlike conventional rotary-type machines and other vial washing systems, the Type 308 allows a stationary operator to see both the transport and cleaning processes, which allows for better monitoring of the process.

The balcony washer presents adjustable rows of 10 lines or more, and transports and submerses ampoules, vials and syringes, for a pre-defined time in a sonic bath. The Type 308 guarantees that no vials stay in too long.

Depending on the container size, the Type 308 can reach an output of up to 36,000 pieces/hr.
