PennTech Machinery Corp has released the compact RW250, the latest in the established RW series of rotary vial washers.
The RW250 rotary vial washer is an inexpensive alternative to fully automated batch washers and offers significantly reduced WFI usage, versatility and quick parts changeover.
According to PennTech, the RW series are the smallest vial washers in the industry thanks to an innovative engineering approach. The footprint of the RW250 is just 60 x 60 cm, small enough to fit into facilities where space is at a premium. The simple, near maintenance-free design also ensures there are no moving parts in the washing area that could generate particulates and risk contamination.
The non-penetrating nozzle design used on the RW series eliminates the risk of vial damage and nozzle bending whilst improving wash quality.
Owing to the design of the vial holders and dedicated spray manifolds, WFI consumption can be optimised with intermittent spraying to ensure that each vial format is sprayed with a specific media only as long as needed.
The RW250 is the latest addition to the family and provides a very low cost, standalone vial washer, ideal for small batch use and start-up facilities. Loading is manually performed yet the automated wash sequence is identical to larger, fully automated systems in the range and can provide a throughput of up to 4,000 vials per hour.
The RW series is available in the UK and Ireland through processing equipment specialist Biopharma Process Systems.
