Pharma Carts and Trolleys – Standard and Customized Loading Solutions
Request More Information ›With most of the industry’s largest Pharma companies as its customers, Steelco has an in-depth understanding of the rigorous critical cleaning requirements of equipment used in pharmaceutical production.
Steelco designs, develops, manufactures, and tests all its own wash racks in-house, ensuring that the quality of this critical process is carefully monitored. Steelco’s engineering experience and sophisticated 3D CAD programs ensure that every point, corner, and cavity of an item to be processed is deeply and efficiently cleaned. This avoids the possibility of cross-contamination and eliminates all soil and contaminant residues from the previous process. The same injection porting is used to also convey hot sterile filtered air inside each cavity for drying.
