The Rotary Ampoule Washing Machine is designed with a circular platform. It is highly efficient and saves a lot of floor space in a factory.
Working Principle Step-by-Step:
- Feeding: Empty ampoules are loaded into the machine’s feeding hopper.
- Gripping: A specialized gripper system picks up the ampoules and turns them upside down.
- Stationary Movement: The ampoules move in a circular (rotary) motion through different washing stations.
- Internal Washing: Fine needles enter the neck of the ampoule and spray cleaning fluids directly inside.
- External Washing: While the inside is being cleaned, outside nozzles spray the exterior of the glass.
- Washing Media: The machine typically uses Recycled Water, Purified Water, and WFI (Water for Injection), followed by Compressed Air to dry the inside.
- Production Capacity: Generally ranges from 100 to 240 ampoules per minute.
- Suitable Sizes: Can handle sizes from 1ml to 20ml with minor adjustments.
- Environment: Perfect for small to medium-sized production lines where space is limited but high-quality cleaning is required.

FAQs for Rotary Ampoule Washing Machine
What is a Rotary Ampoule Washing Machine?
A Rotary Ampoule Washing Machine is an automatic pharmaceutical machine used to wash glass ampoules internally and externally before filling. It helps remove dust, glass particles, and contaminants to maintain sterile production standards.
How does a Rotary Ampoule Washing Machine work?
The machine uses a rotary mechanism to hold ampoules, invert them, and wash them through multiple water and air cycles. This ensures complete cleaning of both the inside and outside surfaces.
What is the production capacity of the Rotary Ampoule Washing Machine?
Production capacity depends on the model. Some high-speed models can deliver up to 240 ampoules per minute, making them ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturing lines.
Which ampoule sizes are suitable for this machine?
Most rotary ampoule washing machines are designed for standard ampoule sizes such as 1 ml, 2 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml, and 20 ml, depending on machine configuration.
Why is ampoule washing important before filling?
Ampoule washing is essential to remove dust, fibers, broken glass particles, and other contaminants before injectable medicines are filled. This improves product safety and quality.
Is the Rotary Ampoule Washing Machine GMP compliant?
Yes, pharmaceutical-grade rotary ampoule washing machines are generally manufactured using SS 304 / SS 316 materials and designed according to GMP and hygienic production standards.
Can this machine be connected with filling and sealing machines?
Yes, Rotary Ampoule Washing Machines are commonly integrated with drying tunnels, ampoule filling machines, and sealing machines for a complete production line.
