Dispensing Isolator for big quantities of processed product

How can OSD facilities safely dispense HIGH POTENT products?

 Can containers and IBCs of very different sizes be used for the dispensed product?

Process:

Load drums, weight & dispense Highly Potent API into various containers or IBCs

What are the issues?

• Highly Potent APIs (CPT < 300 ng/m3)
• Large variety of incoming drum sizes (5-20 kg)
• Receiving containers range from bottles, to bags to IBCs
• Installation room is small: 6.5 m x 3.5 m (21’ x 11.5’)

• L-shape isolator on a platform
• Drum lifting/tilting system to load all drum sizes

• 3 chambers: inlet, dispensing (with scales), transfer with SBVs
• Waste & tools leave isolator via continuous liners

Benefits of FPS solution:

• No need for PPEs: isolator ensures CPT < 300 ng/m3
• Automatic drum loading is PLC controlled: high productivity
• Custom platform provides 6 feet (1.7 m) of space
  • all drums and IBCs fit under the dispensing chamber
  • bags & bottles are manually placed (comfortable height)
