Bosch exterior washing machine for residue-free cleaning

At Achema 2015, Bosch Packaging Technology will present the new exterior washing machine RAN 3080 for vials, ampoules and cartridges. The machine removes product residue and other contamination from filled and closed glass containers via a newly developed, efficient high-pressure cleaning process. The transport system, which has also been developed by Bosch, grips the containers at the closure, ensuring an effective cleaning of virtually the entire container surface. "With the RAN 3080, we are consistently expanding our product portfolio for processing and filling of liquid dosage forms," explains Tobias G?ttler, product manager at Bosch Packaging Technology. "By combining the new exterior washing machine with our numerous other solutions, we can design a flexible line concept."

The safety of employees and patients comes first for pharmaceutical companies. Consequently, the exterior cleaning of containers after filling and closing plays an important role. "The new RAN 3080 enables the elimination of process-related contamination, which could harm recipients' and patients' health," G?ttler says. "By combining the high-pressure process with an efficient transportation system, the new development allows for a residue-free cleaning of up to 400 containers per minute for the first time."

The machine consists of a rotary platform for cleaning and an identical rotary platform for drying. Following the infeed, the transportation system first grips the container by their closure caps. This enables cleaning of virtually the entire container surface, including the neck. The newly developed ring nozzles of the cleaning station, which for the first time operate with high pressure, subsequently wash the containers from top to bottom. Additional bottom nozzles provide for clean container bases. Pressurized air continuously flows across the closure caps. It stops moisture from getting to the closure rim and into the containers, thereby preventing product contamination.

Depending on production requirements, the washing machine can be equipped with different containment devices: options range from containment housing for the protection against harmful and toxic substances to macrolon covers for non-toxic applications. An optional circulation system achieves significant savings by consistently re-using slightly contaminated cleaning media.

Bosch's technologies are on display at Achema in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, from June 15 to 19, 2015, hall 3.1, booth C71.
