Introduction of Aluminum Cap Washing Machine

Aluminum cap washing machine is widely applied to the washing and sterilizing of aluminum caps (not for terminal sterilization) in fields such as bioengineering, health care, laboratory animals, pharmaceutical industry, etc.

The Introduction of  Cap Washing Methods 

In the past, rubber stoppers were cleaned manually because manual cleaning required no complicated equipment, and the operation was simple. This method had been maintained for a long period of time. 

However, people gradually noticed the limitations of manual cleaning: high energy consumption, long operation time, and unstable cleaning quality. 

Therefore, innovation for better cleaning methods began, using mechanical agitation to clean, which is characterized by simple equipment, relatively stable cleaning quality, and reduced labor intensity. However, due to the characteristics of mechanical agitation cleaning, the degree of cleanliness for rubber plugs was not high. And the quality difference is also relatively large. The reason is that the relative movement of the rubber stopper in the water is too fast, and the relative friction coefficient with the wall of the cleaning container is increased, and the rubber stopper collides with the stirring impeller and causes damage the surface of the rubber plug. 

People began to use the spraying and rinsing methods to clean the rubber plug. However, due to the geometric appearance of the rubber plug, it is always difficult to thoroughly clean the eye of the rubber plug. Moreover, the cleaning efficiency was not high and takes a long time. Then various methods of rubber plug cleaning appear one after another, specifically 'vacuum defoaming' and 'steam shock'.

With new technology, aluminum caps and new mechanical washing methods for them have become more popular providing more efficiency and quality in terms of usage and cleaning.

Applications of Aluminum Cap Washing Machine

Washing machine for aluminum cap can be used for medicinal aluminum caps, aluminum-plastic composite caps, needle tube rubber plugs and injection pistons.
