Active pharmaceutical ingredients demand high handling standards to prevent cross-contamination. Moreover, the processing of materials creates risks to occupational safety and health, especially where highly potent APIs are involved. But, while formulas may be kept separate during processing, loading them into different bagging machines leads to production inefficiencies.

Modular big bag filling equipment for powdered process bulk materials

Big Bag Filling station from Dec Group is a universal solution for the direct filling of big bags . The station integrates into other process equipment like mixers or driers with gravity-assisted filling. In cases where headroom is limited, the station can be modeled for remote-filling instead. Here, powder transfer technology moves the materials through a valve system for correct dosing.

The holding frame is either painted steel or stainless steel and has a big bag loop holder with a fast-release mechanism. The Big Bag Filling station includes a range of other solutions, including sieving, milling, metal detection and separation, sampling, weighing, and precise dispensing. The equipment uses a standard pallet jack for easy installation of pallets.

Open mouth bagging machine

STATEC BINDER — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 09:15:45 +0000

If you are a manufacturer of fertilizers, bulk chemicals, sugar, seeds, or any grains it is likely that you would need to transport a lot of free-flowing bulk products. Maintaining precise weighing and dosing while bagging these products can be a challenge. You would ideally require an efficient and reliable bagging solution which can overcome all of these challenges.

Save time with a fast and easy to maintain bagging solution

STATEC BINDER’S PRINCIPAC is a fully automatic, high-performance bagging solution for open-mouth bags. It can process up to 2000 bags per hour, making it one of the leading bagging solutions.

The open mouth bagging machine can process both pillow and gusset bags with filling weights ranging from 10 kg to 50 kg. It can process bags made of woven polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and paper. The prefabricated bags are separated from the magazine and individually transported to the pickup station with the help of vacuum suction cups. These bags are then opened to maximize their volume by the suctions bar, and are clamped to the filling spout. The product is measured to the specified level and is filled into the bag. Upon finishing the filling process, the bags are placed on the conveyor belt and then transported to the bag sealing machine. The bag is then sown, heat-sealed or hot-glued depending on its material.

It is ideally suited for any type of free-flowing bulk products such as petrochemical bulk materials, chemicals, sugar or rice. It can also have an additional equipment such as a dustproof filling spout for powdery products such as flour.

Pharmaceutical container lifter

Palamatic — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 09:21:54 +0000

Moving larger or heavier containers from height is out of the scope for standard handling equipment. Where large format containers need to discharge into a vessel from above, or where they need to feed into a packaging line, a bespoke lifting system that is built to robust pharmaceutical standards offers an ideal solution.

Container lifter suitable to handle up to 2000kg loads

The PalPharmaHoist from Palamatic is a custom-built mobile or static solution for lifting large and heavy drums or IBC containers. The height of PalPharmaHoist is ranging from 2m up to 11m.

A large range of container handling options can be fitted, including simple forks, drum cradle, and platforms. Each can have a range of movement options including rotation and slewing.

PalPharmaHoist is hydraulic-free, with the option of pneumatic or electrical actuation and is completely suitable for ATEX environments to Zone 1/21 T4.

Operator control is via two-handed “dead man” operation with the option to specify PLC or EPROM control.

Example application includes discharge of product into a reactor, thus removing the need for a separate platform.

Bin blender

Palamatic — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 09:06:27 +0000

Many pharmaceutical processes require the blending of powders or other granular ingredients, the mixing of settled compounds, or the breaking up of caked or clumped materials before use. Traditional blending or mixing solutions require the transfer of the product into a secondary vessel. A dedicated blending device can agitate any vessel, which increases efficiency, return time and costs.

Automatic blending solution for all types of container from 5l to 2500l

The PalPharmaBlend from Palamatic is a universal blending solution for all types of pharmaceutical IBCs, drums, hoppers and more.

Able to handle containers weighing up to 2000kg, the PalPharmaBlend can rotate vessels at between 1 and 25 rpm. A range of safety barrier or scanner options is available for operator protection, and PLC GAMP or pneumatic controls may be fitted.

Extremely flexible, the PalPharmaBlend is available with a wide range of options, including fixed or mobile operation, automatic vertical or dock return, integration with a PalPharmaHoist for direct vertical elevation for delivery to process vessels and other machinery, and NIR and PAT options. A number of handling options are also available, including drum clamps, forks, and IBC cradles for all sizes.

Robustly constructed from mild steel, it can also be specified with up to 316L stainless for hygienic applications and does not use hydraulics, making it ideal for clean environments.

Flexible contained powder discharge into FIBC’s

ILC Dover — Tue, 21 Apr 2015 01:02:08 +0000

Flexible intermediate bulk containers known as FIBC’s are commonly used in a wide variety of industrial processes. The pharmaceutical and bioprocess industries; however, require a higher degree of containment and a more carefully designed container. Experienced biopharmaceutical manufacturers know that equipment designed for general industry use often falls short and rigid containment and transfer solutions for the biotech industry are often awkward and inefficient. Producers that embrace flexible solutions designed specifically for the challenges of our industry will find an advantage over competitors.

A bulk transport and storage bag with superior product containment

ILC Dover is an industry leader in contained material handling solutions for high-tech manufacturers and end users including NASA. For transport and storage of bulk materials of a potentially more hazardous nature, the company has developed a bulk bag system with superior containment characteristics. Traditional FIBC’s often do not provide enough containment for use in the pharmaceutical and bioprocess industries. Their use in these industries can cause, compromised facility cleanliness, cross-contamination, and risk of employee exposure to unnecessary hazards. The G2PAC system from ILC Dover provides the same benefits as traditional FIBC’s like integrated lifting features and a 35” cubed size for easy use with standard pallets. However, this system also includes features that make it much more effective at containing products during transfer and storage. An inner liner is included made of ILC Dover’s ArmorFlex material that includes sleeves that are clamped to interfacing process equipment ensuring containment during transfer. Individual sleeves are included to support both charging and offloading operations. The system can achieve containment levels down to 100ug/m^3 on an 8 hour TWA.
