The project definition always starts from on-site supervision to check installation area and discuss with end user about specific needs. In function of possible physical constraint first evaluation is about the possibility to use gravity discharge or to evaluate alternative system like Vacuum Transport System (VTS).
First of all, a preliminary design is realized and once the real project starts an ergonomic study on a 1:1 scale mock-up is performed to check real activities to be performed.
Once this critical step is completed the final manufacturing of the system is started.
FPS propose different configurations:
up to OEB4 category (CPT down to 1000 nanograms/m3). The system was designed to be movable, flexible and interchangeable on different reactors thanks to adjustable height and trans pallet connection system. Product coming in bags (max 8-10 kg each) was safely loaded by FPS bag-in system into main chamber. From main chamber was discharged by gravity or by VTS (Vacuum Transport System) directly into reactor and waste bags removed from back installed FPS Continuous liner system. System rated for ATEX installation area, with full cleaning in place system by integrated spray balls and washing gun. System can be manufactured in AISI316L SS, HC22 or with different surface treatment/coating to meet strict working condition in chemically aggressive atmosphere.
up to OEB4 category (CPT down to 1000 nanograms/m3). The system is provided with FPS integrated drum handling system for safe and easy product charging from drums. The system is especailly designed in fixed or mobile configuration, suitable for gravity discharge or for connection to VTS (Vacuum Transport System). The special design of drum integrated handling system allow the safe use of the system with all available type of drums. Product is charged automatically into main working chamber where an FPS Continuous liner System is installed for safe removal of waste. An FPS Bag-in system is also integrated, so the system is suitable for loading of smaller quantity of product. System rated for ATEX installation area, with full cleaning in place system by integrated spray balls and washing gun. System can be manufactured in AISI316L SS, HC22 or with different surface treatment/coating to meet strict working condition in chemically aggressive atmosphere.
The double chamber system is provided with FPS integrated drum handling system for safe and easy product charging from drums. The system is especially designed in fixed or mobile configuration, suitable for gravity discharge or for connection to VTS (Vacuum Transport System). The special design of drum integrated handling system allows the safe use of the system with all available type of drums. Product is charged automatically into side pre-chamber, to increase the overall level of containment of the system. By special pre-chamber design the product (up to 25kg kegs) is moved into main working chamber where an FPS Continuous liner System is installed for safe removal of waste. An FPS Bag-in system could also be integrated, so the system is suitable for loading of smaller quantity of product with CPT down to CPT down to 0.01 mg/m3. System rated for ATEX installation area, with full cleaning in place system by integrated spray balls and washing gun. System can be manufactured in AISI316L SS, HC22 or with different surface treatment/coating to meet strict working condition in chemically aggressive atmosphere.
The double chamber system is provided with FPS isolator internally integrated drum handling system for safest product charging from drums. The system is especially designed in fixed or mobile configuration, suitable for gravity discharge or for connection to VTS (Vacuum Transport System). The special design of drum integrated handling system allows the safe use of the system with all available type of drums, where drums are completely handled into full tight isolator pre-chamber. Drum is positioned and opened inside Isolator pre-chamber, to increase the overall level of containment of the system. By special drum handling and connection system the product (up to 25kg kegs) is moved into main working chamber where an FPS Continuous liner System is installed for safe removal of waste. System rated for ATEX installation area, with full cleaning in place system by integrated spray balls and washing gun. System can be manufactured in AISI316L SS, HC22 or with different surface treatment/coating to meet strict working condition in chemically aggressive atmosphere.
How to safely discharge a Spray Dryer and mill the potent API? Process: Feed slurry into the Spray Dryer, collect the potent dry powder, micronize if necessary, weight and dispense (for pilot application: max 5 kg) What are the issues? Staff comes in and out of the lab very frequently: Each time they lose 3 […]
How can a lab safely weight & dispense toxic APIs and liquid solutions? How to get more protection than the current flexible isolator? Process steps Introduce bags of potent API, weight & dispense in smaller bags Bring in flasks, add solution and dispense in smaller flasks Test samples of potent powder or liquid Challenges of […]
How can you transfer potent in-process API from a filter dryer into drums or big bags? Process: Transfer potent in-process API from a filter dryer into drums or big bags What are the issues: Api is highly toxic (OEL 10 µg/m3) Powder can agglomerate and not flow: Power can clog and stop the process Once […]
A new multipurpose High Potent API facility needed a containment solution for pilot production. It already owned a few pieces of process equipment. To have those integrated in an isolator could be tricky. Here is a summary of the issues they faced and the solutions implemented by FPS (2 mn read) Process: To filter Highly Potent […]
