Automatic docking system for bulk powder handling
Optimize docking precision and ensure seamless alignment in bulk powder handling with this advanced system, designed to overcome manual handling limitations in high-scale production.
Automates Docking and Ensures Precise Alignment
The PowerDock™ from ChargePoint Technology is a fully automatic docking system designed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of bulk powder handling in pharmaceutical, battery, and chemical industries. Uniquely engineered to correct lateral misalignment, the system ensures precise docking and alignment by automatically raising and lowering the active unit. This makes it especially adaptable for environments where manual handling is not feasible due to hazardous conditions or production scale. PowerDock™ facilitates containment through a flexible EPDM connector that compensates for vertical movements, while guide pins and sleeves ensure consistent alignment. This system supports valve sizes from DN100 (4”) to DN300 (12”) with product contact materials, including 316L stainless steel and EPDM, accommodating industry-specific needs. Pneumatic and electrical proximity sensors contribute to its seamless integration in automated processes, offering reliable performance across multiple applications such as pharmaceutical tablet production, lithium-ion battery cathode manufacturing, and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) processing.
