WA 290

Automation Solutions for WD 290 IQ

WA 290 automation solutions complement the highly effective WD 290 IQ washer-disinfectors to increase throughput in your CSSD and reduce the workload for your staff.

The WA 290 automation systems intelligently coordinate loading and unloading processes between various hygiene zones. This approach results in maximized throughput, by both minimizing idle time and reducing the workload for staff. The intelligent shuttle system efficiently places the racks on the feeding line, making sure the washer-disinfectors are loaded evenly. Idle time is kept to a minimum, and staff are able to concentrate on more important tasks.

The various options on offer allow for full flexibility when it comes to setting up your CSSD.

Features

Efficiency

The WA 290 automation system ensures that the WD 290 machines are evenly loaded, by always selecting the next available washer-disinfector in line. This reduces machine idle time and staff are able to concentrate on more important tasks.

Performance

Maximizing output with a reliable and secure system is the ultimate goal of every highperforming CSSD. The WA 290 CL automation system, in combination with the WD 290 IQ, ensures maximum throughput and the highest quality treatment.

Flexibility

The WA 290 system can be configured to meet your individual needs in terms of space and throughput volume. The modular design allows you to integrate automation into your CSSD at any stage of the product lifecycle. With a variety of solutions available, you can easily expand your CSSD’s capacity whenever the need arises.

WA 290

The WA 290 Automation System is available with direct docking for both the return transport module (to remove the racks) and the loading modules stretch (to load the racks). All the variants from the closed loop system can also be ordered with direct docking option.

WA 290 CL

The WA 290 Closed Loop (CL) is a fully configurable automation system, with the capacity to load up to eight washers with one shuttle. When combined with an automatic program recognition in the WD 290 IQ washer-disinfectors, the WA 290 CL will take care of the washing goods on its own, once placed on the loading queue. The closed loop system allows the racks to be kept “in the loop” without needing to be removed.

WA 290 SI

The WA 290 Straight-In (SI) loading system is designed for CSSDs with space restraints. By combining the SISO straight-in modules on the loading side and the cross-conveyor modules and a centralized unloading space, the needed space is reduced to a minimum. The individually configurable rack-return modules with the Gate-S are an integral part of the WA 290 SI system.

WA 290 SO

The WA 290 Straight-Out (SO) unloading system combines the WA shuttle loading system with decentralized unloading: each washer-disinfector has its own “straight-out” unloading module, allowing for easier transfer of the cleaned items to the packing tables if space allows.

RT-SYS

This return transport system is available as an optional part for the WA 290 (direct dock) and the WA 290 SO. The RT-SYS return transport system can be configured to your needs, with elements of varying lengths on the contaminated and decontaminated sides. Depending on your hygiene requirements, you can choose between a gate (single door) or a double gate (sluice) for separating the two sides.
