Silicone dust caps for dust-tight powder transfer
Achieve dust-tight containment and efficient powder transfer with flexible silicone caps, designed to fit seamlessly into your existing process equipment for enhanced safety and control during charging and discharging.
Ensures Dust-Tight Powder Transfer and Containment
The Uni-Cap and Uni-Cap+ from Hanningfield are silicone dust caps designed for effective dust-tight powder transfer and containment, integral to maintaining cleanliness and efficiency in production lines across the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, nuclear, chemical, cannabis, and nutraceutical industries. These systems use a flexible silicone rubber seal, allowing for the controlled charging and discharging of powders, reducing contamination and ensuring safety. Applications include sealing contacts for powdered pharmaceutical drugs, nutritional supplements, protein powders, and more. The Uni-Cap models offer compatibility with various stainless steel mounting rings, while the Uni-Cap+ ensures visibility with its transparent design. Both models meet stringent hygienic standards, are compliant with FDA regulations, and are available with customization options to meet specific operational needs. Easily retrofitted to existing equipment, these caps support both manual and batch operations, providing robust solutions for powder containment challenges.
