Vega 400 Aseptic Processing
Machine overview
Pure performance, clean containers
Vega 400 is a rotary external washer designed to decontaminate the external surface of ampoules and small glass vials after the filling and closing process. In the face of the pharmaceutical industry and safety regulators who are placing more importance on external washers to remove product particles from the outside of containers after filling, Vega 400 complies with the present requirement and ensures complete decontamination.
The decontamination process can be carried out using water or by adding a dedicated washing media to the water in case of toxic products, in order to avoid any risk of contamination. Vega 400 is the ideal solution for high-speed requirements and can be supplied in line with filling and closing machines.

Machine highlights
-
Better drainage and cleanability
Rounded corners inside the processing area improving water drainage and machine cleanability.
-
Separated process and mechanical areas
Complete separation between process and mechanical areas by means of special seals.
-
Washing circuits
Segregated washing circuits.
-
Compact design
Reduced machine footprint to save space in the production area: drives and washing circuit housed in the machine frame.
-
Accessibility
Easy access to all machine areas.
-
Easy maintenance
Simple mechanical drives with low maintenance time impact.
-
Under isolation
Machines can be pre-arranged with RABS (Restricted Access Barrier System) or installed within an isolator enclosure.
-
PLC and HMI
Siemens PLC and HMI ensuring repeatability and safety of the whole process.
Water flow designed for protection
The water supply system has been designed to avoid cross-contamination between containers and machine. The steady flow of water ensures the separation of the contamination agent and its being dragged towards the drainage point.
