Pharmaceutical laboratory washer-dryer VENUS series

electric

Overview VENUS is an all-in-one, fully automatic industrial parts washer engineered for pharmaceutical containers and components of varied sizes and volumes. Available in two models (VENUS 900 and VENUS 1200), it uses a low-pressure, high-flow water recirculation system to deliver consistent cleaning while minimising fresh water and detergent consumption. Combined with IMA Active's pharmaceutical manufacturing expertise, VENUS optimises cleaning performance and operational efficiency. The integrated Air Handling Unit (AHU) recovers treated air to pre-condition intake air, supporting stable thermal and drying conditions.

Machine highlights

• Automated dosing: detergent groups with automatic dose regulation for repeatable chemical control.
• Drying capabilities: integrated AHU with extraction fan; AirJetStream option for accelerated drying cycles.
• Installation flexibility: through-the-wall configuration available to separate clean and non-clean zones per GMP requirements.
• Washing throughput: two-shelf basket option and dedicated drum/hose racks to increase process capacity and adapt to complex pharma geometries.

Design & cleaning coverage Strategically positioned nozzle ramps and a rotating platform provide full-surface spray coverage to ensure uniform cleaning of containers and components. Multiple rack and basket options allow configuration tailored to product geometry and throughput needs.
