Contained powder sampling system
Ensure contamination-free sampling of active powders with fully contained system integration, minimizing exposure and maintaining process integrity at every stage of pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Ensures Contamination-Free Sampling and Transfer
The BUCK® Sampler and Hicoflex® Sample Taking system from GEA combines innovative split valve technology and high containment mechanisms to support pharmaceutical production lines. This system is designed for gravity-based sampling applications, maintaining full containment of active powders throughout processes such as granulation and drying. It excels in providing contamination-free handling, crucial for maintaining product integrity in pharmaceutical tablets and powdered drugs.
The BUCK® Sampler features a secure docking mechanism that creates a seamless seal without interrupting the production process, while the Hicoflex® technology offers disposable, high containment sampling for added safety. This equipment is ideal for continuous and manual operations, integrating smoothly into existing production methodologies.
Constructed for robustness and chemical compatibility, it offers multiple material options to ensure durability across various environments. By meeting stringent GMP and FDA standards, it ensures compliance with industry regulations. Additionally, the system supports easy cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime and supporting high-efficiency operations. GEA provides engineering support to customize configurations, ensuring a perfect fit for specific production requirements.
