SaniCab® PC Cabinet Washers
Built around NSF/ASNI/3-A hygiene requirements proven to provide hygienic automated cleaning.
The SaniCab® PC is a cabinet-style Clean-Out-of-Place (COP) washer designed to automate the cleaning of process parts, components, and equipment used in pharmaceutical and bio-pharm manufacturing.
Operators load dirty parts onto a removable rack, roll the rack into the washer, select the cleaning program, and press start. Once the cycle is complete, the cleaned parts are removed and the next rack can be loaded.

Active Rack Distribution Zones
If you have parts with complex geometry or difficult to clean places, strategically placed spray balls and rotary sprays can be incorporated onto the Rack. During the cleaning process, an additional valve will open supplying water to a coupler inside the washer, activating these strategically placed spray devices to create a unique cleaning option. This allows for unique parts such as jugs, carboys, and even hoses to be effectively cleaned inside and out.
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1
Load Dirty Parts onto the Rack
Parts are loaded onto a removable rack outside of the washer. Unlike a household dishwasher rack, SaniCab racks provide 360-degree access for loading soiled parts.
Generic racks are available, but many applications require custom-designed racks to match the exact geometry of the parts being cleaned. Custom racks help optimize surface exposure, drainage, and cleaning performance.
With multiple racks, operators can unload clean parts and reload dirty parts onto one rack while another rack is being cleaned.
STEP 2
Roll the Rack into the Washer
Once the rack is loaded, the operator uses a transfer cart to move it to the SaniCab.
The operator opens the cabinet washer door, aligns the transfer cart with the loading rails, and rolls the rack into the washer chamber. The transfer cart is removed, the rack locks into place, and the washer is ready to run.
STEP 3
Select the Cleaning Program
From the touchscreen interface, the operator selects the appropriate cleaning program.
Programs are fully automated once started, allowing operators to focus on other tasks while the washer runs. Depending on the application, cleaning programs may run as short as 10 minutes or as long as 3 hours.
A typical cleaning program includes:
- Pre-rinse
- Chemical wash
- Final rinse
Additional steps, such as sanitizing, can be added if required.
Cleaning programs are customized to the process and can only be modified or created by users with the appropriate permissions. This helps support repeatable cleaning and consistent results.
STEP 4
Automated Spray Coverage Cleans Each Part
Inside the chamber, multiple rotating spray bars spray pressurized water onto the dirty parts.
Each spray bar includes a series of spray nozzles, creating multi-directional coverage to clean the parts as they sit on the rack.
For parts with complex geometry or hard-to-clean areas, active rack options can be added to provide targeted cleaning coverage.
Complete
While the cleaning program runs, the SaniCab’s Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) collects wash cycle data from sensors and system events. This data can be stored for later use and connected to digital solutions such as SaniTrend® Local or SaniTrend® Cloud for deeper analysis, trending, alerts, and reporting.
Clean parts may still have residual water after the cleaning cycle. If the process requires dry parts, an optional dryer can be incorporated after the cleaning cycle is complete.
Once cleaning and optional drying are complete, the rack is removed and the next cleaning cycle can begin.
