From Scrubbing to Spotless: How Rotajet Revolutionise Pan Cleaning with Gemini VW Pan Washers
The Challenge:
Company’s such as paint + Ink manufacturers and pharmaceuticals, often face a significant challenge: cleaning their mixing pans.
Why is this a challenge?
- Manual Labor: Existing cleaning process rely heavily on manual labour, involving hours of scrubbing and rinsing and hours of man power.
- Inconsistent Results: This manual method can often result in inconsistent cleaning, leaving behind stubborn residues that could impact product quality and potentially cause contamination.
- Safety Concerns: This exposure to harsh chemicals and a risk of injuries during manual cleaning poses a significant safety hazard for employees.
- Production Downtime: The time-consuming cleaning process leads to frequent and lengthy production downtime, impacting productivity and profitability.
- Environmental Impact: The use of large volumes of cleaning solvents and the potential for chemical spills can raise environmental concerns.
Gemini, a process engineering company and machine manufacturer, sought to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their cleaning operations. After careful evaluation, they developed Gemini VW Series pan washers equipped with advanced brush systems.
