Controlled loading of powdered products in drums and bags

The Drum Filling system from Dec, is a solution for safe and controlled loading of pharmaceutical and chemical products in drums and bags. The system is equipped with a glovebox to enable the operator to connect the liners within a sealed environment. It allows contamination-free filling of drums of various sizes under high containment (less than 1 microgram per cubic meter). With its small footprint, the unit can be installed in remote spaces in case of limited height clearance under the equipment. The system can be equipped with optional load cells for added filling accuracy. The unit is easy to clean (CIP) and simple to install. It is available in various materials depending on the product application.

Safe discharging of pharmaceutical and chemical products inside drums

The Drum Emptying system from Dec, is a solution for safe discharging of pharmaceutical and chemical products contained in drums during production. The Drum Containment System is equipped with a stainless-steel cylindrical glove box with a glass cover and two glove ports. The system can accommodate drums of various sizes with a wide range of accessories for applications based on required containment levels. The glove box enables the operator to connect the drum liners within a sealed environment before a powder transfer system moves the product through a suction lance. The system is easy to clean and available in different materials depending on the product application.

Feed cylindrical tubes via a cassette

Ensuring a constant supply of appropriately orientated empty tubes, the IWK TZM Cassette Tube Feeding Magazine is suitable to supply machines operating at up to 120 tubes per minute.

The TZM allows for uninterrupted operation because it holds tubes in a reservoir between the tube filler and tube feeding magazine. Tubes in the reservoir are processed first, meaning restocking the filler will not impact on the operation. A photo-electric backup sensor monitors

the tubes in the reservoir ensuring it does not run empty.

The TZM aligns tubes into singles by using pneumatic baffle plate movements in the magazine and the reservoir area. Individual tubes are picked up at the far end of the tube filler chute and loaded in the tube filling machine.

Suitable for use with laminar flow, the TZM gently handles tubes, minimising damage to fragile materials. The TZM is able to handle all commercially available tube materials, and operates with tubes of diameter 13.5 mm to 40 mm, and length 60 mm to 230 mm.

Size changeovers are very quick to minimise downtime and don’t require the use of any tools.

Safe, hassle-free loading from the top of the tank

KANON top loading arms come in different designs depending on the application. These can be open filling systems as they are commonly used in for a wide range of products across all industry sectors. But they can also be designed for closed filling for highly aggressive liquids associated with the chemical and petrochemical industries.

Loading arms can be executed with or without vapour return or pressure line. They can outfit with top level detection (bubble pipe sensing or electronic). A telescopic drop pipe can be integrated to prevent foaming or electrostatic build up. Adding a press down cylinder will prevent arm lifting or add a drop pipe deflector to prevent dripping.

Kanon top loading arms are provided with four swivel joints for the product line and a counterweight or multi-coil spring cylinder balance system.

Safe, hassle-free loading from the side or the rear of the tank

Kanon bottom loading arms are used both for open loop and closed loop fluid transfer. The “open loop” product transfer uses a single bottom loading arm. A combination of two bottom loading arms is used simultaneously for “closed loop” product transfer. Closed loop product transfer is necessary for low density liquids.

Kanon loading arms are equipped with five swivel joints and a multi-spring balance cylinder. The use of Kanon balance cylinders ensures that bottom loading arms can be maneuvered through all positions with minimal effort.
