HYDRA 100/300/400
Vial external washer
Conceived for outer surface decontamination of pharmaceutical containers after the filling process, Hydra 100/300/400 minimizes the legal risk of long-term exposure for packaging operators and medical personnel handling cytotoxic products or potent compounds.
Conceived for outer surface decontamination of pharmaceutical containers after the filling process, Hydra 100/300/400 minimizes the legal risk of long-term exposure for packaging operators and medical personnel handling cytotoxic products or potent compounds.
A step forward in decontamination technology
The rotary external washers Hydra 100/300/400 have been designed to perform the decontamination of external surfaces of glass or plastic cylindrical containers (bottles, vials, etc.) potentially contaminated by the product during the filling process.
The decontamination process can be carried out using water or by adding to the water a dedicated washing media in case of toxic products, in order to avoid any risk of contamination.
Ideal for completion of aseptic processing lines, Hydra 100/300/400 are the perfect solution for any output.

HYDRA 100/300/400 Highlights
1.
Rounded corners inside the processing area improving water drainage and machine cleanability.
2.
Complete separation between process and mechanical areas by means of special seals.
3.
Segregated washing circuits.
4.
Reduced machine footprint to save space in the production area: drives and washing circuit housed in the machine frame.
5.
Easy access to all machine areas.
6.
Simple mechanical drives with low maintenance time impact.
7.
Machines can be pre-arranged with RABS (Restricted Access Barrier System) or installed within an isolator enclosure.
8.
Siemens PLC and HMI ensuring repeatability and safety of the whole process.
The water supply system has been designed to avoid cross contamination between containers and machine. The steady water flow ensures the separation of the contamination agent and its dragging towards the drainage point.
