Safe charging of bags of powder via the PTS (Powder Transfer System) to one or more reactors or other receiving vessels in a safe manner providing containment for both the operator and the surrounding environment.
The Contained Bag Station combines the advantages of isolation technology and laminar flow technique, providing a high containment of < 1µg/m³ per 8 h TWA.
The main chamber is open to the side elevation to enable easy loading of bagged powder. A simple hinged door is provided to be closed only during WIP to prevent splashes escaping the unit. All WIP fluids can be drained from the chamber via the PTS System into the Reactor also cleaning the powder transfer hose and PTS. Using the gloves the operator will move the bag in to position on the powder charging bars above the hopper. The bag is then split and the powder emptied through the bars into the suction hopper. The empty bag is disposed through the adjacent continuous liner bag-out port. The loaded hopper is then charged via the PTS into the Reactor.
On the opposite side is an exhaust plenum. A HEPA filtered exhaust is located on top of the plenum, connected to the included manually dampered exhaust fan.

ATEX and other automated versions available if required.
