Loading
High-speed rotary washer for 1 mL to 20 mL glass ampoules and tubular vials with individual gripper inverting and dual ultrasonic transducers.
Up to 120 ampoules/vials per minute (7,200 containers/hour)
The RAB-120 Rotary Ampoule & Vial Washer is engineered for high-precision cleaning of glass ampoules and small vials prior to sterilizing tunnels. Gripper fingers invert each container 180° over fine injection needles, executing a six-stage washing sequence with DI water, recycled WFI, compressed air, and fresh final WFI rinse.

All configurations
Confirms that the RAB-120 design, as specified, meets the user requirement specification before manufacture begins.
GMP configurations
Documents that the machine is installed to drawing, connected to the specified utilities and calibrated.
GMP configurations
Challenges the machine across its operating ranges, alarms and interlocks to show it performs as specified.
Customer-executed; product-specific acceptance criteria
Executed by the customer with our support: endotoxin challenge and heat penetration studies over three consecutive qualified cycles.
All configurations; customer witnessing optional
Witnessed at our works before dispatch, so defects are corrected where the parts, tools and engineers are.
All configurations
Repeats the critical FAT checks at the customer site after installation and utility connection.
