High containment powder transfer valve for bulk material
Ensure operator safety and prevent cross-contamination with robust containment during bulk powder transfers, while maintaining a compact profile for seamless integration into your existing setup.
Ensures Dust-Free Powder Transfer
The Split Butterfly Valve DiscLock™ from ChargePoint Technology is engineered to provide high-containment powder transfer for your pharmaceutical and chemical production needs. This system utilizes a patented DiscLock™ mechanism, ensuring a robust disc-to-disc containment seal that maintains a compact footprint in your processing line. Ideal for dispensing and vessel charging of pharmaceuticals, chemical reagents, and raw materials, it effectively handles powders, granules, and semi-solids with minimized risk of cross-contamination and operator exposure.
Integrated automation allows seamless operation under high-containment conditions, with containment performance solutions capable of achieving levels down to 0.1µg/m³. The system complies with ISPE SMEPAC guidelines, offering GMP and product quality assurance. Constructed from stainless steel for enhanced durability and chemical resistance, it supports low-maintenance operations and integrates easily into existing setups, with options for CIP systems and adjustable configurations to meet specific processing requirements.
