🚀 How do you double barrel cleaning capacity while improving safety and efficiency?
For one global pharmaceutical manufacturer, manual cleaning processes were creating bottlenecks, demanding significant operator time and struggling to keep pace with production requirements.
That’s where the Arcus VASA Automated Barrel Cleaning System made a difference. Designed around the client’s requirements, our bespoke solution delivered some impressive results:
✅ 48% reduction in total cleaning and drying time - from 145 to 75 minutes
✅ Doubled peak daily capacity - from 10 to 20 containers
✅ Approximately 50% less detergent consumption
✅ Reduced manual handling and the need for operators to lift and manoeuvre larger containers
By automating key stages of the cleaning process and eliminating the need for soaking, the VASA system helped transform a labour-intensive operation into a more efficient, consistent and less physically demanding process.
