Mobile powder transfer system for pharmaceuticals and chemicals
Efficiently transfer and charge powders into various vessels with a flexible mobile system, streamlining operations from R&D to production without the need for costly multiple setups.

Transfers and Charges Powders Efficiently
The Mobile Powder Pump System from De Dietrich Process Systems offers a robust solution for transferring and charging powders across pharmaceutical and chemical operations. Designed with mobility and flexibility in mind, it facilitates the seamless movement of powders into multiple vessels with reduced contamination risk. Key features include a fully functional, stand-alone setup with ergonomic forklift channels for easy relocation. Operating in both manual and semi-automatic modes, the system supports varied production scales, from research and development to pilot operations. It integrates pneumatic or PLC/HMI controls for precise handling, while its ATEX rating for Zone 1/21 ensures safe operation in hazardous environments. With options for modular glovebox integration, the system accommodates sensitive processes such as drying seed crystallizations. Opt for stainless steel or Hastelloy construction for enhanced corrosion resistance, and benefit from compliance with industry standards, making it suitable for diverse applications including active pharmaceutical ingredients, catalysts, and specialty chemical compounds.
