Batch Instead of Inline
System Selection According to Individual Requirements
Process development in the field of component cleaning is a long-term process that sometimes takes several years to build up. Not always everything runs perfectly from the beginning. However, at ZESTRON we also excel in reacting to existing challenges and adapting things when we recognize potential for improvement.
analysis Lack of Capacity Utilization, Increased Risk
So it was in this case. A customer's original intention was to install an inline system for its cleaning process. However, our team of experts quickly realized that opting for an inline system would not have been the right choice - for several reasons: First, the quantities produced were simply too low at the time; for this reason, an inline system could never have been utilized to capacity.
Furthermore, the customer would have had to accept the risk of "total failure" with an inline system. This is because if the inline system is down it brings the entire cleaning process to a standstill.
SOLution Enhanced Efficiency: Lower Operating Costs and Enhanced Flexibility with Batch Plants
Through expert advice and additional tests in our in-house technical laboratory, one thing became increasingly clear: the optimal solution for the customer was the acquisition of multiple batch plants. The advantages were evident: significantly reduced operating costs compared to inline plants, risk distribution as the simultaneous failure of multiple batch plants is highly unlikely, and greater flexibility in the face of fluctuating conditions.
All in all, the decision to opt for several smaller batch plants had only positive aspects for the customer. This allowed our team to ultimately convince the customer.
