Pencef Pharma GmbH, established in 2003, is a prominent pharmaceutical manufacturer headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Specializing in the production of pharmaceutical preparations for both human and veterinary applications, the company operates from its central office located at Straße Am Flugplatz 6, 12487 Berlin. With a dedicated workforce ranging between 100 and 200 employees, Pencef Pharma GmbH has achieved annual sales estimated between 10 and 20 million euros. The company's operations are primarily focused on the manufacture of chemicals and chemical products, as well as the retail sale of pharmaceutical and medical goods, including cosmetics and toiletries.
In September 2023, Pencef Pharma GmbH underwent an inspection by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), resulting in the issuance of a Form 483. This document indicates observations made during the inspection that may require attention to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Despite such regulatory challenges, the company continues to maintain its commitment to quality and innovation in the pharmaceutical industry, striving to meet the healthcare needs of both human and animal populations.
The challenge
People clean their shoes soles before entering sensitive areas
- Location: Entrance area + Warehouse
- Frequency of use: 50 persons/ day
- Type of cleaning: dry
The solution
Normal wheather-related road dirt should not be taken into the factory. The HEUTE Solamat 90 has it job. The shoes cleaning machine Solamat 90 has four brushes, which counter-rotate and clean the soles from below. Two lateral disk brushes clean the edges of the soles. Brushed off dirt falls into the large dirt collecting tray. This tray can be easily emptied. The ergonomically shaped handrail provides the user with firm hold.
The benefits
The HEUTE Solamat 90 is an essential solution for pharmaceutical plants due to its ability to maintain high hygiene standards by effectively removing dust, dirt, and contaminants from employees' shoes before they enter sensitive production areas. In pharmaceutical environments, even minimal contamination can compromise product integrity, affect drug efficacy, and lead to regulatory non-compliance. The Solamat 90 is designed with high-performance rotating brushes and an integrated vacuum system, ensuring thorough cleaning without requiring direct contact. This automatic system reduces the risk of cross-contamination and improves workplace safety by minimizing airborne particles. Additionally, its robust construction and user-friendly operation make it a reliable and efficient investment for pharmaceutical facilities.
By implementing the HEUTE Solamat 90, plants can enhance their adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and regulatory standards such as FDA and EU-GMP guidelines. Ultimately, this system contributes to a cleaner, safer, and more compliant pharmaceutical production environment.
