The “EVW” series from PennTech Machinery Corp is a range of external washers designed to decontaminate the external surfaces of containers.
Thorough cleaning is enabled through high washing pressures to “scrub” away difficult to remove substances, and an encapsulating seal which prevents potential bacterial growth under the cap.
Benefits and features of the EVW
Unlike conventional external washers, no manual setting or adjustment from the operator is required. This makes validation of the machine simple.
The hanging vial arrangement means that the bottom of the vials is completely exposed to the rinsing fluids and drying air.
Dedicated change parts for 13mm and 20mm caps and an automatic menu-driven system ensure quick tool changeover. Changeover which can be accomplished in as little as 10 minutes for vials with the same neck diameter, or 30 minutes where the cap-sealing belt must be exchanged. Output performance is as much as 12,000 DIN2R vials per minute, 6000 DIN20R per minute.
There are two EVW versions available: Stand-alone with infeed tray, and in-line as part of a filling line.
