Cleaning machines 
KWM series
The cleaning machines of the KWM series are designed for pharma-compliant wet cleaning of cartridges. The containers are conveyed through the work area very gently in a continuous motion. The containers are transported into the main work area via ultrasonic equipment for the removal of coarse impurities. By using the pressure-controlled rinsing and spraying system and various cleaning media, optimal pharma-compliant cleaning of all containers is assured. The various cleaning agents can be used in any chosen order in the line system, which is configured so that media do not mix.

The ECOwash system by Bausch + Ströbel ensures optimal cleaning of all containers while significantly reducing the consumption of cleaning media. This is achieved by using a combination of special cleaning needles which are developed and/or adapted in comprehensive trials to meet your specific requirements. The ECOwash (Efficient Customized Operation) technology has the following advantages:
- Optimized cleaning in hard-to-reach areas
- Reduction in water consumption: up to 40%
- Reduction in residual moisture content: up to 70%
- Reduction in air consumption: up to 20%
- Reduction in noise when blow-drying containers: up to 50%
- High energy efficiency
