Optimizing cleaning cycles for complex pharmaceutical equipment

At IWT, we understand that cleaning pharmaceutical equipment, such as tablet press machines, demands precision and innovation. Recent testing sessions highlighted challenges with detergent performance, foam generation, and the suitability of cleaning cycles for complex items.

Key Findings:

  • Detergents unsuitable for industrial washing systems caused excessive foam, leading to pump cavitation and aborted cycles.
  • Even with completed cycles, residue remained, emphasizing the need for better detergent selection and optimized parameters.

Our Approach:

  • Customized washing baskets to improve coverage and load stability.
  • Tailored testing of parameters such as pump power, temperature, and detergent concentration.
  • Identified the importance of selecting detergents designed specifically for industrial systems.

At IWT, we’re committed to delivering solutions that ensure efficient and compliant cleaning, driving innovation across the pharmaceutical sector.
