Let’s Do Business

We Developed Our Wash-in-Place Systems to Be More Efficient

At Thomas Processing, we are always pushing toward greater innovation and the most efficient operations. We’ve been a leader in the tablet coating system industry for over 50 years, and we have maintained this position by never being satisfied with our past success. The development of our clean-in-place system designs was motivated by our drive to deliver process equipment that was easy to use and improved our clients’ time management.

Providing excellent machinery is one thing, but delivering equipment that makes the workplace more productive is a real advantage.

The terms WIP and CIP refer to the process of cleaning equipment and machinery without requiring disassembly. Cleanability is a factor that goes into the design of every piece of process equipment that we create and sell. Machinery in the pharmaceutical industry already requires in-depth cleaning methods and cleaning solutions.

Thomas sought to streamline this cleaning process on your behalf. We wanted to find the balance between convenience, productivity, and product quality. You can feel confident that when you partner with Thomas, you’ll find all three.

Thomas Processing is always looking for opportunities to advance our products and services for our clients. We have designed our systems to be able to wash in place (WIP) and clean in place (CIP) because this streamlines your processes.

These cleanability options make your operations simpler to perform and less expensive.

Process Equipment With Integrated Cleaning Solutions

The wash systems are already integrated into many of our tablet coating systems. They are often based on spray nozzles built into the equipment along with associated piping, fittings, valves, instrumentation, and control devices.

Some models like the Flex 500® come with wash-in-place features, including:

Preconfigured executions for manual, assisted, and automated wash
Automated wash with recipe control
Step-by-step HMI prompts for manual and assisted wash procedures
WIP systems may use plant utilities, dedicated buffer tanks, or shared buffer tanks for rinse water supplies
“Future needs” – several wash system configurations may be expanded in the field, as the wash needs evolve with new coating processes

Depending on your needs, our WIP/CIP systems are available to wash more than just the tablet coater itself. Systems can be configured to wash the solution tank and delivery system, solution preparation station, partial ductwork, and the WIP tanks and piping.

We’ve also worked our wash-in-place designs into the physical structure of our systems to make them more conducive to cleaning the interior surfaces with features like:

Continuously welded interior with rounded corners
Smooth chamber surface finishes throughout
Water-tight inflatable seals on access doors
