Waysafe Bespoke Cabinet for the Pharmaceutical Industry

Solotec Scientific were approached by a UK based world leading contract development and manufacturing organisation operating within the pharmaceutical industry.

The client required Solotec to design a cabinet to house the machinery which tested the destruction of pharmaceutical tablets which could be harmful to the operator.

The Challenge

The cabinet needed to be manufactured with the ability to house the following machinery:

  1. Kraemer Tablet Hardness Tester HC6.2
  2. Charles Ischi AE1 Friability and Abrasion Tester
  3. Charles Ischi DISI 3M Disintegration Tester

It was also important that the design included additional space to accommodate a balance and a printer.

The client advised us of their de-contamination process which required ‘fogging’ to disinfect the whole room, and therefore the cabinet needed to be semi-waterproof. We also had to be mindful that the finished product must conform to GMP Manufacturing criteria which included seamless welds and a polished finish to the stainless steel.

The Solution

The original design of the cabinet was as per the standard Waysafe® build with an aluminium frame and Perspex panels. However, due to the need for waterproofing, it was determined that a stainless-steel construction with acrylic panels would be ideal.

The design incorporated a split level worksurface to ensure the machinery operation area was all on one level. To accommodate the required additional space for a balance and printer, we designed a shelf below the working surface. We also fitted a liquid waste pipe to this shelf with tri-clamp fitting.

We included a twin 600 series filter system to compensate for the large open front, improving operator safety.  The client specified that the cabinet must be moveable; therefore, castors were added to enable this function.

The unit was designed and completed on schedule and delivered complete with conformance certificates.
