Our Washlines
Regulation Certified Processing: Meets strict wash requirements
Daniels Mechanical Washsmart technology robotically empties and feeds each Daniels Sharpsmart container through a sophisticated 6-stage washing process.
Using a tested combination of water pressure, high temperatures, and biodegradable detergent (no harmful chemicals) to achieve high-level disinfection, the Daniels Washline is ground-breaking in its engineering. Our washing process achieves a 6-log bacterial load reduction, which is a higher sanitisation result than any other container washing method.
Washsmart’s 8-step Process
1
Weigh & Scan
Each collector is loaded onto a robotic conveyor belt; contents are weighed and the collector barcode is scanned to enable complete traceability of its origins.
2
Decant & Empty
In a seamless automated action, the robotic arms of the Daniels Washsmart tip the collector upside down to expel contents into a large holding bin situated beneath the machine.
3
High Pressure Flush
Strong jet streams of cold water are injected into the collector to flush out any stubborn residue, at a high pressure force, this flushing process removes dry blood or residual fluids.
4
Wash
The collector undergoes a hot water detergent wash at a set temperature. The Daniels Washsmart recycles water from an earlier stage of the cycle to minimise environmental burden.
5
Hot Rinse
The collector enters into a separate chamber where it undergoes a high temperature (85 degree celcius) final sanitisation rinse.
6
Drying
The final stage of the Washsmart process is to remove surface water, thereby eliminating the possibility of subsequent microbial growth; this process is undertaken via a series of strategically positioned high pressure / high volume air jets. This process, coupled with the heat of the plastic following hot rinse, results in Sharpsmart collectors emerging dry and ready for immediate use.
7
Smartguard
Daniels has a unique coating formulation which is applied at every wash to enable Sharpsmart collectors to easily shed sticky adhesives, blood, body fluids and dyes. More than 200 formulations were developed, researched and engineered before the Daniels SMARTGUARD formula was patented
8
Quality Control Checks
At the end of the process each Sharpsmart collector is subjected to a 10-point Quality Assurance Check for function, scuffs, cuts and smears. The Washsmart process achieves a 6Log reduction in bio burden +/- 1000 times greater than that required for thorough hospital grade cleaning.
