NJM Introduces Specially-Designed Washing Carts
Jun 26, 2023MONTREAL, June 14, 2023 –NJM,
a ProMach product
brand, introduces specialized Steelco Pharma washing carts at Pack Expo
Las Vegas booth #3225. These new carts are designed specifically to wash
product contact parts from either a Cremer tablet counter or Dara filling and
closing machine utilizing a Steelco DS Optima PH pharma-grade parts washer, all
of which are supplied by NJM within North America. By offering pre-validated
washers with specialized washing carts, NJM helps pharmaceutical, biotech and
nutraceutical manufacturers and packers ensure their product contact parts are
easily and thoroughly cleaned to protect product quality while reducing labor
costs and increasing efficiencies.
“Here at NJM, we’re always looking for new ways to add value. The addition of
Steelco Pharma to our portfolio last year was a huge win for our customers
because these washing systems complement the other processing and packaging
machinery we offer,” said Mark Laroche, Vice President of Sales for NJM. “Now,
we’ve taken the next step and developed Steelco Pharma washing carts that are
specifically designed for our Cremer and Dara equipment. These cleaning
systems, which have the potential to radically streamline washing, are backed
by NJM’s world-renowned customer service.”
Ideal for solid dose, aseptic liquid and non-aseptic liquid product contact
parts, these Steelco Pharma washers and washing carts are designed so each part
is fully cleaned with the ideal amount of water, detergent concentration and
temperature every time. Compared to hand washing, which is inconsistent and
requires swabbing after every wash to confirm there is no product residue,
Steelco Pharma washers and carts reliably prevent cross contamination and eliminate
the need for swabbing. Automated washing also improves environmental
sustainability by reducing water consumption and minimizes the risk of parts
damage from operator handling.
Built with 316 stainless steel, these washing carts feature internal hydraulic
and air-drying piping to wash and dry each product contact part, both
internally and externally. The rack provides product manufacturers and contract
packers with additional parts storage. Quality castors facilitate easy
transportation of parts between the production floor and the washer.
Prior to running a wash cycle, an operator manually loads each product contact
part in its designated location on the cart’s rack. After the cart is wheeled
to the washer, the rack slides into the washer’s chamber on a rail system,
while the cart base is left outside the washer. The operator selects the
appropriate preprogrammed recipe on the washer’s HMI, ensuring repeatable
cleaning processes and reliable results.
Pre-configured Steelco DS Optima PH pharma-grade parts washers are offered by
NJM at competitive prices and are available with quick delivery times of four
months or less. Washers are designed, manufactured, validated and documented in
compliance with the latest cGMP. Available with either a Siemens or Rockwell/Allen-Bradley
control system, Steelco Pharma washers can export production data in compliance
with 21 CFR Part 11 and can be easily connected to a SCADA, if needed. The DS
Optima PH washer’s compact size of 87” x 45” x 98” (2200mm x 1150mm x 2500mm)
minimizes floorspace requirements. To maximize versatility, it can be equipped
with either a single door for compact installation or a double door for
pass-through operation, which separates dirty and clean materials to help
achieve GMP compliance.
NJM offers a “total solution” approach that includes GAMP5-compliant FDS, SDS,
HDS, FAT, and SAT-IQ/OQ protocol and execution as well as turnkey line
integration services to seamlessly combine best-in-class technologies. NJM’s
world-class aftersales support includes standard and extended warranties,
preventative maintenance programs and onsite installation, training and ongoing
service.
