Powder handling drum dock station
Ensure safe and efficient powder transfers with high containment levels, minimizing operator exposure and supporting diverse material handling processes in your production line.
Facilitates Safe and Contained Powder Transfer
The Drum Dock Station from De Dietrich Process Systems is designed to ensure the safe and contained transfer of powders in industrial applications. Equipped with DIT® Drum Iris Technology, it minimizes operator exposure and contamination risks. This system is ideal for transferring highly toxic or sensitive materials, commonly used in pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and bio-pharmaceuticals.
Utilizing a pneumatic lifter, it inverts drums for easy material discharge with minimal operator intervention. Configurations include a single or double chamber, allowing for containment levels up to OEB 6. The station integrates seamlessly with reactors and powder transfer systems, supporting operations in batch, manual, pilot, and high-containment environments.
Constructed in materials like AISI 304, AISI 316, and Hastelloy C-22, it exhibits excellent chemical compatibility and corrosion resistance. For added convenience, it includes a CIP system facilitated by a spray-ball and spray-gun, ensuring thorough cleaning. Certified for ATEX environments, this station aids compliance with stringent safety and environmental standards, making it an adaptable solution for diverse processing needs.
