An Automatic Airjet & Vacuum Cleaning Machine is a dry cleaning system — meaning it cleans bottles and jars without using any water. Instead, it uses a powerful combination of compressed high-pressure air jets and simultaneous vacuum suction to blast out dust, loose particles, and debris from inside each container. The bottle is inverted automatically, air is fired through nozzles into the neck, and vacuum suction pulls the dislodged particles out — leaving the bottle spotlessly clean and completely dry.
This is fundamentally different from a bottle washing machine, which uses water-based rinse cycles. The Airjet & Vacuum Cleaner is specifically designed for dry product applications — where introducing moisture into the container before filling would damage or compromise the product. Think dry syrups, tablet bottles, capsule jars, herbal churna containers, and cosmetic powder packaging — none of which can tolerate any residual moisture.

The machine works on an elegantly simple but highly effective principle. Here's how it happens, step by step:
Bottles are fed upright onto a turntable/scrambler, which lines them up and moves them one by one into a feed worm mechanism. The feed worm then automatically inverts each bottle — turning it upside down. Each inverted bottle enters a negative pressure chamber, where high-pressure air nozzles blast air inside the bottle neck, forcefully loosening any dust or particles. Simultaneously, a vacuum exhaust system sucks out all the dislodged material, which is collected in a separate dust collector box via an exhaust fan. The bottle is then re-inverted back to its upright position and exits the machine clean, dry, and ready for filling.
The entire process is synchronized, continuous, and requires minimal manual intervention — making it ideal for regulated manufacturing environments.

The Lodha LI-AVC Airjet & Vacuum Cleaning Machine handles a wide variety of container formats:
  • Glass bottles — amber and clear, used across pharma and Ayurvedic sectors
  • Plastic bottles — PET, HDPE, and PP, widely used in cosmetics and Ayurvedic liquids
  • Wide-mouth jars — used for tablets, capsules, herbal powders (churnas), and cosmetic creams
  • Small to mid-size containers — ranging from 10 ml to 250 ml and beyond, depending on model configuration
Both glass and plastic containers are handled without risk of chipping, cracking, or scratching, thanks to the machine's precision-aligned stationary nozzles and smooth conveyor handling.

Yes — the Lodha Airjet & Vacuum Cleaning Machine (Model LI-AVC) is designed, built, and validated in full compliance with cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) as mandated by India's CDSCO and international bodies like WHO, USFDA, and EU GMP guidelines. Key compliance features include:
  • Complete construction in stainless steel — including the base frame, conveyor, and all parts
  • Stationary nozzles that minimize contamination risk compared to moving nozzle designs
  • A separate, enclosed dust collection chamber that prevents re-contamination of cleaned bottles
  • Automatic separation of the feeding zone and discharge zone to prevent cross-contamination
  • An overload clutch to prevent jamming and mechanical damage that could compromise operations
  • Height-adjustable legs for ergonomic GMP-compliant installation
This makes the machine fully audit-ready for drug department inspections, WHO-GMP audits, and export market regulatory filings.

This is a critical decision point for every pharma manufacturer. You need an Airjet & Vacuum Cleaner — not a water-based washer — whenever your product cannot tolerate residual moisture in the container. Specific pharmaceutical applications include:
  • Dry Syrup powders (e.g., antibiotic dry syrups like amoxicillin, azithromycin) — moisture causes premature degradation
  • Tablet & capsule bulk packing — moisture triggers tablet disintegration and capsule swelling
  • Nutraceutical powders and granules — hygroscopic materials that absorb moisture rapidly
  • Effervescent tablet containers — even trace moisture activates the effervescence reaction prematurely
For these product categories, the Airjet & Vacuum Cleaning Machine is not just recommended — it is the only appropriate pre-filling cleaning solution that regulatory authorities would accept.

Drug regulatory inspectors from bodies like CDSCO, WHO, EU GMP, and USFDA check your pre-filling container cleaning process as part of every manufacturing audit. They look for evidence of a validated, documented, and contamination-controlled cleaning method. The Lodha LI-AVC delivers on every count:
The separate dust collection chamber means dust is contained and removed — not circulated back into the production environment. The stationary nozzle design reduces mechanical complexity and contamination risk — inspectors view this favorably compared to designs with moving nozzle heads. The synchronized inverter mechanism ensures every single bottle gets cleaned to the same standard — demonstrating process consistency, which is at the heart of GMP validation. Having this machine on your line also demonstrates commitment to container integrity management — a specific inspection checkpoint in most regulatory frameworks.

Ayurvedic manufacturing plants — whether producing churnas (herbal powders), vatis (tablet formulations), dry herbal extracts, or granular formulations — work extensively with dry, particulate-form products. Any residual dust or foreign particle inside the container before filling directly contaminates the herbal product. This is not just a quality concern — it's a AYUSH GMP compliance requirement.
Under Schedule T of the Drugs & Cosmetics Act (which governs Ayurvedic manufacturing in India), container cleanliness before filling is a mandated process step. The Airjet & Vacuum Cleaning Machine ensures every bottle or jar that goes to your filling station is free of dust, glass fragments, fiber particles, and any other particulate — protecting your product quality, your patient safety, and your manufacturing license.

Ayurvedic powder and granule products typically come in wide-mouth jars ranging from 50 grams to 500 grams packaging — and the Lodha LI-AVC handles this range effectively. The machine is equipped with a turntable feeding system that accommodates different container diameters, and the feed worm and inverter mechanism can be configured for various neck sizes and mouth diameters. For Ayurvedic manufacturers managing multiple SKUs — say, 100g, 200g, and 500g churna jars — the machine's changeover flexibility means you're not losing significant production time when switching between formats.

Absolutely. Many premium Ayurvedic brands — particularly those targeting the wellness, nutraceutical, and export market — package their products in glass jars and bottles for perceived quality and inertness advantages. The Lodha Airjet & Vacuum Cleaning Machine is specifically designed for glass containers and includes a critical safety feature: stationary nozzles that prevent bottle neck chipping. In many conventional cleaning setups, moving mechanical parts cause micro-chipping of glass bottle necks — creating glass particle contamination in the very container you're trying to clean. Lodha's stationary nozzle design completely eliminates this risk — which is especially important when glass containers carry premium herbal and Ayurvedic products.

This is a very real concern for many Ayurvedic manufacturers, especially mid-scale units. The Lodha LI-AVC is designed with practical maintainability in mind:
  • The separate dust collection chamber can be cleaned out independently without shutting down the entire machine
  • The stationary nozzle design means fewer moving parts — less to go wrong, less to maintain
  • The overload clutch automatically prevents jamming, reducing the chance of mechanical breakdowns during production
  • The adjustable height legs allow you to align the machine properly with your existing conveyor or feed table without complex civil work
  • All stainless steel construction means surfaces wipe down easily and don't corrode even in humid environments common in India's interior manufacturing locations
Your team can handle routine upkeep without calling for external technical assistance every time.

Yes — and it's increasingly becoming an essential piece of equipment for organized cosmetic manufacturers who want to meet ISO 22716 (Cosmetic GMP) standards. Cosmetic products like talcum powder, compact powder, dry face masks, bath salts, and powdered mineral cosmetics are all dry-format products that require contamination-free containers before filling. The Airjet & Vacuum Cleaner delivers precisely that — a clean, dry, particle-free container ready for your cosmetic filling line.
Beyond powdered cosmetics, even liquid cosmetic manufacturers — serums, face oils, perfumes — use this machine for their glass bottle lines to remove dust and manufacturing residue before filling high-value formulations where even a single particle could cause customer complaints or product rejection.

Yes. Lodha International LLP operates under ISO 9001:2015 certification and manufactures equipment to CE-compliant standards. For cosmetic exporters, this is important because:
  • GCC/Gulf markets require ESMA-compliant manufacturing documentation — GMP-certified equipment supports this
  • European markets under EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC No 1223/2009) require proof of GMP-compliant manufacturing — having certified cleaning equipment is a core part of this
  • UK markets post-Brexit follow UK Cosmetics Regulation which mirrors EU requirements
Having a Lodha LI-AVC in your production line with its ISO-certified manufacturing credentials gives your buyers and regulatory auditors confidence in your manufacturing hygiene standards — supporting faster approvals, fewer audit findings, and stronger buyer relationships.

Yes. The machine's turntable and feed worm mechanism is adaptable for wide-mouth containers. While the primary application for wide-mouth containers is dry products (powders, scrubs, bath salts), the machine effectively cleans any particulate debris from inside the jar before filling. For cream and paste product jars, many cosmetic manufacturers run empty jars through the airjet cleaner as a dry pre-clean before moving them to filling — particularly when jars have been stored and may have accumulated ambient dust.

The Lodha Automatic Airjet & Vacuum Cleaning Machine Model LI-AVC 60 has a production output of 3,600 to 7,200 bottles per hour depending on bottle size and configuration. This speed makes it suitable for mid to large-scale production operations across pharmaceutical, Ayurvedic, and cosmetic manufacturing setups. For your specific bottle format and target output, the Lodha technical team can confirm the exact throughput configuration you need.

Most manufacturers don't ask this question — but they should. Here's why it matters:
Machines with moving or rotating nozzle heads have more mechanical complexity — more parts that can wear, misalign, or fail during production. More critically, moving nozzle mechanisms that come close to the bottle neck can cause micro-chipping of glass — introducing glass particles inside the very container you're cleaning. This is a significant product safety and regulatory risk.
The Lodha LI-AVC uses stationary nozzles — fixed, precision-positioned air jets that direct high-pressure air at the exact right angle through the bottle neck without any mechanical movement near the container. The result is thorough cleaning without any risk of container damage, and a simpler, more reliable mechanical system that requires less maintenance. For pharmaceutical and premium Ayurvedic or cosmetic glass bottles, this is the safer and smarter choice.

The dust and particles dislodged by the high-pressure air jets are immediately captured by the vacuum exhaust system and directed into a dedicated, enclosed dust collector box via an exhaust fan. This is critically important because it means the removed dust does not circulate back into the production environment — it's captured and contained. The dust collector box is accessible for periodic cleaning and is separate from the main machine body, so you can clean it without interrupting production. This closed-loop dust management approach is a key GMP feature that keeps your production area clean and prevents cross-contamination.

Yes — since the machine operates on compressed air jets, you'll need a compressed air supply connected to the machine. Most pharmaceutical, Ayurvedic, and cosmetic manufacturing facilities of a mid-scale or above already have a centralized compressed air system. The machine connects to your existing compressed air line. An optional pressure regulator with a pressure switch is available, which allows you to fine-tune the air pressure delivered to the nozzles — useful when switching between delicate and more robust container formats. Beyond compressed air, the machine requires standard electrical power supply. Your facility's existing utility infrastructure is typically sufficient.

Yes — the Lodha Airjet & Vacuum Cleaning Machine is designed for seamless integration into a complete production line. The automatic unloading mechanism moves cleaned bottles directly onto a turntable or output conveyor, from where they can be transferred to your filling machine — whether it's a liquid filler, powder filler, or tablet/capsule counter. This machine pairs especially well with:
  • Dry syrup powder filling machines
  • Tablet and capsule counting and filling machines
  • Herbal powder filling and packaging lines
  • Cosmetic powder filling machines
It can also be used as a standalone machine with manual downstream transfer if you're not yet fully automated — giving you flexibility as you grow.

Both machines clean dry containers using compressed air — but there are important operational differences:
The Airjet & Vacuum Cleaning Machine (LI-AVC) uses a dual-action approach — air jet blasting AND simultaneous vacuum suction — giving you two-layer cleaning efficacy. The vacuum ensures that loosened particles are actively pulled out, not just disturbed. This makes it particularly effective for containers with fine particulate contamination common in pharma and Ayurvedic environments.
The Inverter Type Airjet Cleaning Machine primarily relies on the inversion mechanism combined with high-pressure air — the bottle is inverted, air is blasted in, and gravity plus air pressure remove the particles. It is a slightly simpler system best suited for applications with less demanding contamination levels.
For regulated pharmaceutical and Ayurvedic manufacturing where regulatory auditors expect demonstrated cleaning efficacy, the Airjet & Vacuum model is generally the preferred and more defensible choice.
