High-Performance Rubber Bung Washing, Siliconization & Steam Sterilization System

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, rubber stoppers (bungs) play a critical role in maintaining the sterility and integrity of injectable medicines. Before use, every rubber bung must undergo a validated cleaning, siliconization, rinsing, drying, and sterilization process to comply with GMP, FDA, WHO, and cGMP standards.

MediClave Industries Pvt. Ltd. offers a fully automatic Rubber Bung Processor Cum Steam Sterilizer designed for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and vaccine manufacturing facilities. The system combines washing, siliconization, rinsing, drying, and saturated steam sterilization into one integrated machine, reducing contamination risks while improving production efficiency.

What is a Rubber Bung Processor Cum Steam Sterilizer?

A Rubber Bung Processor Cum Steam Sterilizer is an advanced pharmaceutical processing equipment specifically designed to clean and sterilize rubber closures before they are used in vial filling and injectable manufacturing.

The system performs multiple validated operations within a closed environment, including:

• Pre Washing
• Multiple Washing Cycles
• Siliconization
• WFI Rinsing
• Drainage
• Drying
• Saturated Steam Sterilization
• Cooling

The integrated process minimizes manual handling and significantly reduces contamination risks.

Applications

Our Rubber Bung Processor is widely used in:

• Injectable Pharmaceutical Plants
• Vaccine Manufacturing Facilities
• Biotechnology Industries
• Sterile Manufacturing Units
• Life Science Laboratories
• API Manufacturing Plants
• Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMO)
• Medical Device Manufacturing

Working Principle

The Rubber Bung Processor operates through a fully automated PLC-controlled process.

Step 1 – Loading

Rubber bungs are loaded into specially designed perforated containers.

Step 2 – Washing

The machine performs multiple washing cycles using purified water or WFI to remove dust, particles, and manufacturing residues.

Step 3 – Siliconization

Controlled pharmaceutical-grade silicone is uniformly applied to ensure smooth insertion during vial filling.

Step 4 – Final WFI Rinse

The machine performs high-purity Water for Injection rinsing to eliminate any remaining contaminants.

Step 5 – Drying

Filtered hot air removes moisture from the rubber closures.

Step 6 – Steam Sterilization

Validated saturated steam sterilization destroys microorganisms while maintaining product integrity.

Step 7 – Cooling

The load is cooled under controlled conditions before unloading.
