The imperative for effective washing.

HYDRA is a linear washing machine for vials and bottles of all sizes, and is suitable for plastic and oval containers upon request.

Containers for sterile preparation are processed in a different way according to the material they are made of and the product to be filled. Tailored according to the nature of containers, HYDRA performs thousands of customised washing cycles.

HYDRA Highlights

1.
Special upper guide rail for containers allowing for washing at high pressure without vibration or movement.
2.
Complete segregation between process, circuit and mechanical areas to avoid cross contamination.
3.
No vial breakages thanks to a system of levers, incorporating spring-loaded telescopic overload, driving machine movements, including raising of the washing needles.
4.
No dripping of contaminated water from the baskets onto the vials thanks to the positive discharge of containers from the basket.
5.
Vacuum-assisted positive unloading for unstable containers or in case of high speed.
6.
Possible direct connection to automatic container feeding systems (depacking of inspection machine) or to feeding conveyors.
7.
Ultrasonic bath unit for containers available.
Injectable products are sterile when free of any living microorganism, pathogenic or not, which are capable of reproduction. HYDRA can achieve a 3-log endotoxin reduction for terminal sterilisation applications.
