How Suncombe continue to optimise the Clean In Place and EDS solutions

Cleaning technologies are an integral part of the hygiene and cleanliness protocols in industrial and manufacturing facilities. A high level of sanitation through a sterile process is a must to avoid cross-contamination from the production environment. To ensure product safety, shelf-life, and value of the products, a sterile environment is a must for the pharmaceutical, life sciences, medical and research, food, beverage, and dairy industries.

Meeting this need is Suncombe, founded by Mr. Dave Overton in 1961 with a razor-sharp focus on designing bespoke cleaning and hygiene solutions for various complex industrial process systems. Our six decades of industry experience is a testament to our expertise in the designing and manufacturing of cleaning, decontamination, and critical processing systems for various industries. We’re proud to be trusted by 17 of the top 20 global pharma and biotech organisations.

Innovation has been integral to our vision of being the leading manufacturer of sanitation processing systems, whether it’s introducing improved and sustainable cleaning-in-place chemicals, revolutionising CIP in the pharmaceutical sector or redefining the process of cleaning in place in dairy, food and beverage operations. At the same time, we’re committed to ensuring the utmost safety and efficiency of the product and the process.

Industrial Cleaning Systems and Solutions

Clean in Place or CIP and Biowaste EDS are the core industrial cleaning and processing systems.

Clean In Place

CIP uses water, special cleaning-in-place chemicals, heat, and kinetic energy for a specific time to clean machinery, vessels, pipework and other contaminated equipment. The words ‘clean in place’ implies that the cleaning can take place without dismantling the plant and without any direct operator involvement.

Suncombe’s CIP systems are designed to ensure efficient cleaning at all times while maintaining compliance with safety and regulatory protocols. A vital process, CIP in pharmaceutical and biotech facilities is essential for product safety and viability.

Biowaste EDS

These systems are designed to decontaminate liquid hazardous, infectious waste streams, and liquid streams with solid suspension. Also known as effluent biowaste treatment plant solutions, this process is used for research, production, laboratory and bio-containment environments.

Suncombe’s EDS systems can deal with BSL Bio Safety Level 1 to 4 waste by effectively inactivating harmful pathogens in the waste stream and ensuring total containment at all times.

Suncombe’s Innovative Sanitary Cleaning and Processing Systems

Here’s how we introduce innovation to bring enhanced efficiency and safety to your cleaning and sanitary processing needs.

 

Automated CIP

The CIP process uses harsh and potentially dangerous cleaning-in-place chemicals to clean plants. Keeping this in mind and with a view to continuously innovate, Suncombe has introduced automation in the CIP process.

Suncombe’s automated CIP systems can minimise the need for plant personnel for various operations while greatly improving your facility’s safety and efficiency.

It minimises room for error and cross-contamination, which occurs often with manual cleaning processes. Our clean-in-place systems are fully validated processes and are timed and cleaned in a way that they don’t affect the existing product run. The cleaning can be scheduled in different phases so that there is no loss of production time or revenue for our clients.

Compact pH Neutralisation System

Suncombe has been a dependable name for large-scale pH neutralisation for production facilities. These systems take the liquid acidic or alkaline waste and convert it into a neutral state, before releasing the waste or sending it to effluent treatment plants.

Over the years, we’ve taken feedback from our clients and transformed these neutralisation systems into a compact piece of equipment that saves on space while maintaining their safety and efficiency levels.

We are working on a mobile/ tablet interface for all our systems for remote monitoring of the pH levels. With this option, you can electronically track and store low rates, temperatures, pressures, times, and power consumption data, which is FDA standard 21 CFR 11 compliant.

EDS+

Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) recently sought Suncombe’s EDS+ Effluent Decontamination System range with additional features. Our team of engineers worked on this challenging project that featured a large number of technical advances.

The project scope included the connection of user points (sinks) and a collection sump to the collection pipework, plus the design and modelling of this pipework, in stainless steel from the laboratories to the EDS+ system.

It included a number of technical advances, including different user-level login facilities, variable treatment temperatures and times, anti-foam control, pH neutralisation, out-of-hours cooling methodology and 100% positive release for treated waste.

Taking on challenging assignments is just a part of the learning and development at Suncombe. Our highly qualified and experienced team is ready to assist you every step of the way, from the initial project stage to the after-sales service.
