18 Mapping the World of CIP, Bio-waste Treatment and Critical Process Solutions
Processing solutions specialists Suncombe has released a Product Map to explain, in visual format, its strengths and capabilities in the technologies of Clean in Place (CIP), Bio-waste decontamination treatment and other critical process solutions. The company has an extensive portfolio of equipment and wanted to offer a visual representation of the main areas of expertise it offers.
Explaining the reasoning behind the Product Map’s creation, Steve Overton, Suncombe’s Technical Director said: “In the increasingly specialised world in which we operate, many clients come to us for very specific products and solutions and never really get to see our other capabilities. So the Product Map is a very easy way for us to show in more detail the range of our equipment, which has been exclusively developed over more than 50 years of operation.
“Because of the very complex regulatory and operationally challenging environments that we typically work in, it can happen that a client has to operate in a ‘silo’ for a specific project – quite understandably. So he or she only knows us for a particular process or solution. The Product Map is an easy way to show how much more we are able to offer, which can be of value in other areas of the processing facility,” he added.
The Product Map takes the form of an ‘exploded’ floor plan where equipment from storage and distribution vessels, through mobile and static CIP, skids, mixing vessels, various decontamination units and finally parts and IBC washers are laid out in a logical process operational format.
“While many of our customers need custom solutions, these are all based on the expertise our ‘in house’ design and build teams have developed and our basic, core products,” according to Dave Adams, director for the company.
“We would like existing customers as well as potential new clients to appreciate that we offer a wide range of process solutions – from basic, almost ‘entry level’ equipment, through to the most sophisticated and tailored systems. The Product Map is a very quick and easy reference point for that,” he explained.

Wall Protection System Helps to Future-Proof the Nexperia Manufacturing Facility
Gradus has specified and installed a complete wall protection system to protect interiors and provide a clean aesthetic at the Nexperia fabrication facility in Manchester. Due to the precise nature of the work, the majority of Nexperia’s manufacturing takes place in laboratories. As a result, a durable wall protection system was required that would be resistant to the rigorous cleaning regimes and the variety of cleaning chemicals used. Gradus SureProtect Endure®
trolley traffic. The sheet material is through-coloured and textured and was chosen in the colour Alum (light grey), to blend in with the surrounding décor, providing ‘hidden’ protection and maintaining the building’s appearance.
High impact corner guards were chosen to protect one of the most vulnerable parts of any building along with Wall Guards to provide direct protection from the wheeled trolley traffic.
Speaking of the refurbishment project, the Facilities Manager at Nexperia, commented: “The wall protection installed at Nexperia was predominantly in Silicon Alley, the link corridor in the cleanroom areas. We wanted to protect this area as this part of the building experiences a high level of both foot and wheeled traffic daily, including regular use of trolleys which can cause scuffs and scrapes.
“We also wanted to create a striking design away from the stereotypical, clinical feel that most labs have and the extensive range of colours available from Gradus enabled us to do this. We chose to specify Wall Guards in an aquamarine colour which adds vibrancy to the facility.”
Maria Morgan, Product Manager for Gradus said: “SureProtect Endure was the ideal specification for the Nexperia facility as it is manufactured from impact resistant PVC-u which is textured and through- coloured to conceal damage caused by foot and wheeled traffic, therefore minimising future maintenance costs”
Gradus is a UK manufacturer with two decades of experience in the wall protection market and has taken its experience, knowledge and expertise to create a modern and aesthetically pleasing range, designed with the UK market needs in mind.

Exposure to unwanted chemical emissions are an unfortunate reality when working in a lab. Even if you can’t smell them, Erlab’s Halo laboratory- grade molecular air filtration system can.
