Contamination-free docking system for bulk solids
Achieve contamination-free transfer of bulk powders and granules while ensuring precise dosing and weighing. Ideal for maintaining product integrity and operational efficiency, this solution seamlessly integrates into existing production lines, reducing dust emissions and minimizing cross-contamination risks.
Ensures Contamination-Free Docking and Precise Weighing
The AZO CleanDock® from AZO GmbH & Co. KG is a docking system designed for contamination-free material transfer in industries like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. This system automates the docking and undocking of containers, ensuring dust-tight connections that protect both product and operator. By integrating scale decoupling, it delivers precise dosing and weighing, crucial for applications such as producing pharmaceutical tablets and nutritional supplements. The system’s low dust emissions eliminate the need for ATEX zones, streamlining compliance. Engineered for ease of cleaning, the CleanDock® features quick release fasteners and optional mobility, allowing for in-situ cleaning without disrupting production. It operates on a batch processing basis, with high accuracy and seamless integration into existing lines, tailored for those handling challenging powder and granule materials.
