High containment powder transfer valve

Ensure high containment for potent powders in your production line, reducing contamination risks and maximizing yield without cumbersome protective gear.

Transfers and Contains Potent Powders Safely

The ChargePoint PharmaSafe® Containment Valve range is engineered for precise and safe powder transfers, offering pharmaceutical manufacturers and biotech companies an industry-leading solution for managing potent materials. Utilizing split butterfly valve technology, it facilitates secure docking of active and passive units, ensuring contamination-free transfer of APIs, excipients, and formulated blends. This valve’s design supports a wide range of applications, including vessel charging, mixing, and granulation, making it integral across pharmaceuticals, biotech, chemical, and even battery industries. The PharmaSafe® pro and excel models provide enhanced containment with vacuum or low-volume extraction options, achieving containment levels down to <0.1 µg/m3, validated per ISPE SMEPAC guidelines. Designed to integrate seamlessly into continuous and batch processing, these valves offer a robust solution compliant with GMP and stringent regulatory standards. Constructed for durability, they enable efficient cleaning and maintenance, supporting high throughput and enhanced safety.

Benefits

  • Ensures operator safety with high containment levels validated to <0.1 µg/m3.
  • Streamlines production by eliminating the need for secondary containment systems and PPE.
  • Supports GMP compliance, enhancing product quality and regulatory adherence.
  • Increases yield by facilitating the transfer of poorly flowing and high-value products.
  • Integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, supporting both batch and continuous processes.
