WIP Skid

The WIP Skid, also known as a Wash-in-Place Skid, is designed for controlled washing of pharmaceutical processing equipment at its installed location. It supplies water or suitable cleaning solutions through connected piping and spray devices to rinse and wash accessible internal equipment surfaces. This approach helps reduce manual washing activities and unnecessary equipment dismantling between manufacturing operations.

Intence Engineering offers WIP Skid systems as part of its pharmaceutical cleaning equipment range. The documented range includes recipe-based washing, automatic PLC and HMI control arrangements, and fixed or mobile configurations. The appropriate system is selected according to the equipment being cleaned, residue characteristics, cleaning procedure, available utilities, and production requirements.

Applications of WIP Skid

1. Granulation Equipment Washing: Supporting washing of suitable High Shear Mixer Granulators and associated equipment through connected spray and cleaning arrangements.
2. Fluid Bed Equipment Cleaning: Supplying washing liquid to compatible Fluid Bed Dryers and Fluid Bed Processors equipped with appropriate internal washing provisions.
3. Tablet Coating Equipment Washing: Supporting cleaning operations for suitably configured tablet coating drums, processing chambers, and associated components.
4. Pharmaceutical Processing Vessel Cleaning: Washing suitable product-contact surfaces of compatible solution preparation vessels, mixing equipment, and process connections using the required cleaning procedure.

Key Features

• Wash-in-Place Operation: Supports washing of connected pharmaceutical processing equipment without requiring extensive dismantling.
• Recipe-Based Washing: The documented Intence cleaning equipment range includes recipe-based cleaning arrangements for repeatable washing sequences.
• PLC and HMI Controls: Automatic PLC-based operation with HMI controls is documented within Intence’s cleaning systems portfolio.
• Cleaning Liquid Distribution: The skid supplies water or suitable cleaning solutions to connected spray devices and cleaning circuits.

Available Capacity

Capacity: Based on Cleaning Tank Volume, Pump Flow Rate, and Connected Equipment Requirements

The capacity of a WIP Skid depends on the washing solution tank volume, selected pump flow rate, required cleaning pressure, number of connected spray devices, and the dimensions of the equipment being washed. Intence Engineering’s supplied brochure identifies a 12 Bar pressure-related cleaning system option, but does not establish a standard operating pressure or an individual WIP Skid tank capacity. Exact tank volumes, flow rates, operating pressures, and utility requirements should be confirmed with Intence Engineering for the selected model.
