In the world of pharmaceutical and laboratory operations, cleaning isn’t just a routine task, it’s a critical factor in ensuring compliance, safety, and efficiency. Every component, from drums and hoses to glassware and plasticware, must be meticulously cleaned to prevent cross-contamination between production batches. But how do you ensure consistent, validated results across such a wide variety of equipment?

At IWT Pharma, we specialise in precision-engineered cleaning solutions that guarantee optimal exposure, maximum efficiency, and repeatable outcomes every single time.

Recap: What is a customised basket, and why is it so important?

In pharmaceutical and laboratory settings, contact parts such as valves, piping manifolds, and filters come in various shapes and sizes, making them difficult to clean and dry effectively using standard methods.

That’s where customised baskets come in.

Each customised basket is bespoke, designed specifically for each customer’s unique components, to ensure optimal positioning for maximum washing and drying efficiency. These baskets are precision-engineered to interface seamlessly with the quick-lock connections inside the IWT parts washer chamber.

Here's how it works:

• Washing: The quick-lock mechanism activates the internal hydraulic circuit of the basket, delivering water to each of the individual nozzles, which are used to reach shadowed areas.
• Drying: During the drying cycle, warm, HEPA-filtered air is passed into the chamber through the quick lock connection, allowing direct airflow throughout the basket across each part for effective and uniform drying.

What Makes a Perfect Cleaning System?

Whether your cleaning needs are standard or highly specialized, five essential factors drive the effectiveness of our solutions:

• Full Transparency of Cleaning Process – Through our approval process, the customer has full input into the basket design.
  • Effortless, Quick Loading – Our intuitive 1-to-1 repeatable positioning ensures that every critical item is loaded securely for consistent cleaning cycles.
  • Full Coverage & Drainability – No hidden spots, no residues, just complete and thorough cleaning.
  • Precision Flushing – Even the smallest and hardest-to-reach areas are meticulously flushed to meet Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.
  •  Perfect Drying – Our systems optimise airflow and positioning, ensuring that racks, baskets, and loads dry efficiently without the risk of contamination.

Introducing the Flexi & Modular Basket System

For pharmaceutical facilities with standardised cleaning requirements, our Flexi & Modular baskets deliver unparalleled adaptability and efficiency. Engineered for precision and compliance, these customisable modules empower you to:

• Effortlessly configure and adjust your basket layout to accommodate evolving labware needs.
• Maximise load capacity per cleaning cycle, optimizing efficiency and throughput.
• Seamlessly scale your system by integrating additional modules, reducing long-term costs without compromising performance.

Tailored Cleaning Solutions for Specialised Applications

Not all pharmaceutical equipment is the same, so why settle for a one-size-fits-all cleaning solution?

For facilities dealing with custom or complex equipment, our tailored baskets provide a bespoke cleaning solution. Through:

• 3D modelling and digital simulations: we fine-tune every design before manufacturing.
• Intelligent positioning of each item: ensuring thorough cleaning and drying with zero risk of cross-contamination.
• Precision water flow and pressure calibration: guaranteeing exceptional cleaning performance, no matter the shape or size of your equipment.
