Passivation Systems Case Studies - Case Studies

For one medical device manufacturer, the design of a citric passivation solution faced two major challenges: The manufacturing process required performing a water-break test after cleaning parts, before proceeding to passivation. This meant that they could not use a fully automated passivation solution. The system had to have data tracking for quality control purposes. Semi-Automated […]

Pipes and tubes often are difficult cleaning and passivation applications because various washing, rinsing, and passivation solutions must be flushed through the pipes. Pipe flushing applications with tight aspect ratio (high length vs. the internal diameter) or multiple bends tend to require forced or pumped circulation through the tubing.

Time and time again we hear from customers looking to transition their passivation process in-house.  In most cases the biggest concern cited is not always the cost to have the process performed by an external vendor, but the time.  Between packing, shipping, unpacking, processing, repacking, shipping the parts back and unpacking them again many customers […]

Cleanroom Medical Device Cleaning Equipment Background Large medical device manufacturers have outsourced much of their manufacturing to contract manufacturers for a long time. It’s always exciting to see small businesses succeed and grow. But sometimes business growth can lead to growing pains. Such was the case with a growing medical device manufacturer in Minneapolis recently. […]
