The stopper washing machine, Model SW, offers accurate repeatable washing cycles and innovative design features – like user-programmable wash cycles with coded access, sanitary supply plumbing, stainless steel exterior, and lots more! This washer can handle up to 23,000 13mm stoppers per hour or 6,200 20mm stoppers per hour.
Cozzoli Machine Company’s SW40 Washer is a high production closure cleaning machine, designed for years of reliable operation. Using a PLC to control the wash cycle, the wash parameters can be programmed into the machine to control the sequence and duration of the wash steps. Up to 9 different wash recipes of 18 steps each provide for individualized customer requirements. All wash recipes can be password protected.
Operation
Stoppers, caps, or crimps are loaded into a steel basket that has a screened bottom, solid walls and overflow holes near the top. The basket is lowered to the washer manifold at the bottom of the drain basin. This manifold houses the water inlet, silicone inlet (for stoppers only) and bubbler holes.
Construction
The SW40 is equipped standard with three valves for washing stoppers. Only two are needed for washing caps and crimps. The 1” line is dedicated for liquid wash media, such as water for injection (WFI). The remaining two 1/2” lines are dedicated for clean-compressed air and siliconizing (for stoppers only).
