AdvantaPure are also the only company to offer the Hose Track system.
The Hose Track hose lifecycle analysis system (patent pending) is a unique, revolutionary hose assembly tracking system.
Hose Track helps users minimise the risk of contamination and hose failure and the costly repercussions associated with batch waste and production stoppages.
It offers an excellent way for manufacturing and maintenance personnel to monitor hose assembly cleaning intervals, usage rates, and replacement dates.
Key features are as follows.
Hose Track identifies individual hose assemblies using RFID (radio frequency identification) tags.
It allows recording and storage of critical information.
It provides an audit trail to assist in the FDA validation process.
It records and accesses the complete biographical history of hose assemblies using a portable, handheld reader/writer to identify each tag.
It tracks key wear-related events such as cleaning cycles/dates and batches of material processed.
It eliminates the inefficient calendar method of swapping out used hoses - reduces wasted hose life and underutilised assemblies.
It limits hose failures and helps calculate hose life expectancy.
Tags are encoded with serial numbers and encapsulated into each hose assembly - no contact with material flow.
Field tags are available to attach to existing hose assemblies.
It eliminates hand-written recordings and the possibility of misread data.It is safe for use with CIP, SIP, and autoclave processes.
Access full specifications and order hose assembly replacements from a secure Internet site.
Help assist with FDA regulations concerning the Process Analytical Technology (PAT) Initiative.
