Many pharmaceutical products are being produced in smaller batches. Targeted products may be too specific for large batch sizes, and for products with a short shelf life producing small amounts as and when may be the only option. PennTech have responded to customer demand by introducing a smaller version of the RW rotary vial washer.

The RW-250 is an extremely compact c-GMP vial washer that offers the same automated wash cycle as the rest of the family of PennTech vial washers (RW-500, RW-800 and RW-1150) but in an ultra-small footprint and just requiring manual loading.

Features of the RW-250 include:

• All stainless steel c-GMP-design.
• CE-compliant
• PLC controlled, recipe driven
• Vial range from 2-100ml through change parts, change over time typically 15 minutes..
• Manual infeed of vials through adjustable infeed mechanism.
• Output up to 60 vials per minute, depending on vial size and operator dexterity.
• Comprehensive, easy to understand machine documents with operator manual
  

The semi-automated RW-250 provides an attractive solution for small or start-up pharma or biotech companies with low budgets for equipment investments. The RW 250 is an ideal replacement for batch washers and hand washing and provides a cost effective alternative to buying pre-cleaned vials.

Optional extras include intermittent spraying to reduce WFI consumption and validation documents.
