Factory Tour In Pictures- Drying Room

To many industries it's a key stage in the laundering of boxes and returnable packaging. As part of our move to Marchington we dedicated a section of our warehouse space to build a facility so we can ensure the highest levels of drying are achieved. 

Why do we take so much care with drying you may wonder...

It is crucial that where required equipment is returned spotless, especially in the automotive, retail and removals industry where the boxes will then be packed with valuable goods.

We've installed an industrial heater and humidity reduction units to create the ideal environment for water evaporation. This allows for efficient volume throughput.

Boxes are often manufactured with a collar and lip which is why we also rotate the units for maximum exposure.

 If we can wash it, we'll also dry it!

Equipment Washing Helps PPS expand into the Pharmaceutical Market

PPS Midlands has lately commenced a new equipment washing contract within the pharmaceutical industry.

The PPS site at Measham, just north of Birmingham, offers contract equipment washing at its state-of-the-art industrial equipment washing facility where it can wash a wide variety of several box dimensions to the highest level and degree of cleaning. Plastic boxes, crates, trays, attached lid containers and collapsible boxes can all be catered for, and there is also a pallet wash facility on site.

PPS continues to be washing plastic trays, crates, boxes and pallets for a number of years at Measham and has traditionally washed for many different sectors, including food and retail.  Now however they have secured new business washing trays, boxes and pallets for a key supplier in the pharmaceutical sector.

In this sector plastic boxes are used to transport and store high ticket products and need to be washed after each use of the boxes to ensure no contamination. PPS has long experience washing to the exacting standards of the food industry and can provide traceable data and swab test results for all boxes washed.

All equipment washing including Tray, Crate & Pallet washing is completed to the highest standard and we are proud to have BRC certification.  This was very important to this particular client due to the nature of their business.

Joanne Moss said “The core business of our sites is the provision of services connected to returnable transit equipment for instance plastic crates, trays, boxes and pallets. This may include equipment rental, pooling services, online asset tracking and certainly contract equipment washing. Our business has developed and expanded mainly within the food and retail sectors, but when we were approached by this company in the pharmaceutical sector it quickly became clear that they were impressed by our level of experience of industrial scale washing gained over several years.

PPS Midlands Limited and PPS East Limited are returnable transit packaging specialists.
