7 reasons why you should automate your washing processes
Washing automation is increasingly prevalent in the pharmaceutical industry. New production facilities and renovation projects are embracing washing automation, moving from manual washing to more standardized, repeatable, and automated processes.
Handwashing processes present high risks, especially when handling heavy components and performing repetitive actions. Additional risks involve exposure to allergens, for example.
Italian manufacturer IWT Pharma leads the market with innovative washing solutions. Check out how automation can benefit you, your team, and your budget below.
1. Wash configuration:
Automation allows you to design the perfect washing process for your components, whether it’s glassware, bins, blenders, hoses, punch and die sets, or aseptic filling lines. You can set parameters such as water temperature, washing detergents, water type, and rinse options, ensuring the highest standard of washing and saving energy and resources.
2. Validation:
Process validation is the golden rule when it comes to pharmaceutical manufacturing, as it aims to ensure product safety.
Manual washing processes are difficult to standardize and their validation can be challenging and this can easily be avoided by using an automated system. When validated at the facility, it performs the same wash cycle every day, ensuring consistent performance, quality, and effectiveness.
3. Improved washing standards:
Automation is critical to maintaining high standards of washing practices and cleaning rigor. It improves quality control, manages contamination, and increases productivity. Each component has specific requirements related to its washing, depending on several parameters and characteristics.
Your washing process will follow a controlled and reproducible procedure that has been previously validated and will guarantee high standards and rigor of cleanliness.
4. Safety:
Automation contributes to improving staff safety by standardizing procedures and reducing health and safety concerns. This benefit is not only related to the protection of people’s health through a consistent and safe pharmaceutical product, but also to the care of operators. Automation plays a crucial role in ensuring safety by reducing your exposure to repetitive washing actions and hazardous chemicals used during the process. washer
5. Cost Control:
Automation helps reduce costs through five simple strategies: minimize labor, increase productivity, maximize equipment utilization, minimize downtime, and redirect staff to more productive work.
When you rely on a u-made cleaning machine, you no longer need to involve multiple operators in the washing process.
6. Space-efficient solutions:
In the event that your washing area has a small footprint, IWT PHARMA offers the opportunity to integrate automated washing equipment into virtually any size of manufacturing facility, offering flexible, adaptable and scalable options.
7. Return on Investment:
The combination of these advantages ensures a significant return on investment. So, if you want to reduce costs, prioritize staff safety, and implement reliable and repeatable washing procedures, contact us. We can help you with this challenging task, but of unique importance for the safety of your washing process.
