PennTech's decontaminating machines are designed to clean the external surface of vials. Purified water,
W.F.I., detergent and detergent mixtures are media options used for surface decontamination. Compressed
air dries the decontamination vials. Starwheels drive the vials through the various washing and drying
stations. Spraying nozzles are specifically designed and contoured to avoid the process fluids from being
introduced at the seal level. Compressed air blowing nozzles remove the residual washing fluids from
the outer glass surfaces, a vacuum pump dries completely the bottom of the vials.
Advantages:
High washing efficiency
Highly effective drying
Protection of the seals
Flexible transport system
Short and reliable changeover time
Longer processing time
Safety: an accident prevention hood or under pressurized hood with gloves ports is available.
Automation: The decontaminating machine is controlled by an Allen Bradley PLC connected to a touch-screen
operator interface terminal. In order to avoid unauthorized access to machine functions password
levels are implemented.
