The RW-500 is the smaller sister of the innovative and established "nozzle free" RW-800 and RW-1500 washers but is designed for low-output aseptic processing such as small-scale clinical batches.
Vial sizes of 2ml-100ml can be handled at a rate of up to 100 per minute, depending on vial size.
It can be employed as a stand-alone vial washer or in combination with a sterilisation / depyrogenation tunnel for continuous processing.
All RW washers are designed to be simple in operation, self-draining, with no moving parts in the washing area and minimal maintenance requirements.
An easily removed one-piece transparent polycarbonate cover permits easy visual verification of the flow of washing media.
Each vial neck format has its own dedicated set of change parts to optimise cleanliness, with a changeover easily manageable in under 15 minutes.
All other changeover requirements, such as outfeed pusher movement and number of indexes per minute, are automatic and under PLC control.
The RW-500 is controlled by an Allen-Bradley PLC, which is capable of providing full control and monitoring of the machine.
Its Allen-Bradley PanelView user interface is designed for maximum user-friendliness, with a simple menu system to guide the operator through all the functions of the machine.
Options include intermittent spraying packages to optimise the quantity of WFI used and minimise running costs.
