Containment system for filter dryers
Ensure safe handling and containment of hazardous materials during sampling and discharging, preventing contamination and protecting operators in processes involving solids, powders, and cakes.

Ensures Safe Handling and Containment
The Containment System / Glove Box from HEINKEL Drying & Separation Group is designed to enhance safety and efficiency in handling sensitive materials during batch processing. This system effectively isolates operations such as sampling, discharging, and packaging, ensuring both operator safety and product integrity. It is particularly suited for pharmaceutical and chemical industries producing active pharmaceutical ingredients, specialty chemicals, and catalysts.
The glove box operates by creating a sealed environment, preventing contamination with its flange-connected isolator, ideal for integration with Nutsche filter dryers. While handling solids, powders, and cakes, it allows full product yield by facilitating the discharge of residual heel and safe disposal of filter cloths.
For those prioritizing operational efficiency, this system seamlessly integrates into your production line with manual batch operations. The containment system is manufactured with corrosion-resistant materials, offering customization options to meet specific industry compliance standards such as GMP and FDA. Designed for reliability and ease of maintenance, it supports safe disposal processes and complete protection of both product and staff within pharmaceutical, chemical, and metal recycling applications.
