High containment powder transfer valve
During the production of highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs) and other sensitive materials, maintaining a high level of containment is crucial. Traditional transfer methods often result in contamination risks and exposure hazards that compromise both product integrity and worker safety.
Ensure safe and efficient powder transfer
The ChargePoint PharmaSafe® containment valve uses split butterfly valve technology to tackle contamination and exposure issues during high-potency powder transfers. Designed to meet GMP and product quality standards, this valve range includes models with varying containment levels, such as PharmaSafe, PharmaSafe® pro, and PharmaSafe® excel. These valves are validated according to ISPE SMEPAC guidelines, achieving containment levels down to nanogram standards without requiring additional seals, vacuum, or extraction. Users can handle poorly flowing and high-value products while reducing the need for secondary barrier containment and cumbersome personal protective equipment (PPE). The valve operates by docking the active and passive units, sealing the interfaces, and allowing controlled, contamination-free material transfer.
