Tristel Solutions

70% Productivity Boost for Global Disinfectants Manufacturer.

Tristel Solutions – a global supplier of infection control, contamination control, and hygiene products, serving hospitals worldwide (NHS and private).

Challenge

Tristel produces a dual-component disinfectant (base + activator) in conjoined bottles. Previously, the base and activator were filled on separate machines, capped individually, then combined with a dual activation cap before labeling—a manual and time-consuming process.

Solution

  • Response Automation Filling Line
  • Fed from two large tanks (one for base, one for activator).
  • Both components fill conjoined bottles simultaneously.
  • Integrates Tristel’s existing benchtop units, keeping prior investments in use.
  • Handles multiple product ranges, including the 500ml chlorine dioxide foam-based dual product.

Modular & Scalable:

  • Additional benchtop units can be added easily to increase output without extra cost.
  • Semi-automatic operation possible if a benchtop unit is removed for maintenance.

Results

Productivity:

  • 70% increase in output immediately after installation.
  • Producing 700–1,000 bottles per hour, depending on the product.

Reliability & Versatility:

  • Based on long-standing trust in Adelphi’s equipment: durable, low-maintenance, and dependable.
  • Modular design ensures flexibility and minimal downtime.

Rapid Response to Demand:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Tristel added four more Response Benchtop Fillers, bringing the total to 10.

Machines delivered and operational within 4 working days.

Focused production on key disinfectants: DISTEL (hard surface cleaner) and JET (sporicidal disinfectant effective against SARS-CoV-2).
