Dust-tight dispenser for metal detector test tablets

Ensure seamless integration of test tablets in high-containment environments with a dust-tight insertion system, designed for precision and safety in pharmaceutical tablet and capsule production lines.

Injects and Contains Tablets and Capsules Safely

The KT2010 from Krämer AG is a dust-tight tablet insertion system specifically designed for high containment applications. This system allows for manual insertion of test tablets into pharmaceutical production lines without breaching containment, ensuring no dust escapes. Integrated using dust-tight Tri-Clamp connections, it sits seamlessly between dedusters and metal detectors, like Ceia and Lock, for efficient operation. The KT2010 is perfectly suited for processing pharmaceutical tablets, capsules, and effervescent tablets, such as aspirin, vitamin C, and multivitamins, in high-speed continuous operations. Its robust construction features product-contacting parts made from AISI 316L stainless steel, while offering both dust-tight (DT/HC) and wash-in-place (WIP) versions. The high containment design is suitable for OEB5 applications, maintaining operator safety with exposure levels under 0.1 μg/m³. With explosion protection per ATEX 94/9/EG standards, it is ideal for environments requiring stringent safety compliance. Additionally, it ensures GMP compliance, supporting validation documentation and material certification, and is customizable for processing various tablet and capsule sizes.

Benefits

  • Ensures safe and contamination-free operation by maintaining a dust-tight insertion process.
