Pharmaceutical & Chemical Case Studies

Re-used IBCs had to be 100% clean to avoid the dangers of cross-contamination between products, but often the cleaning conducted in-house by hand was less than perfect.

To prevent contamination and spoilage the tank and production apparatus had to be hygienic – but the cleaning cycle used enormous quantities of water, chemicals and energy.
