LEARN MORE

Additional sorting verification monitors capsule inspection machine
Separation of process area with barrier

 

Separation is a primary containment protection, achieved by inflatable seals, gaskets and silicone sealing.

Machine autonomous capsule inspection
Negative pressure in process area

 

Negative pressure is a secondary containment protection, preventing contamination if primary containment protection is broken.

Inlet and outlet air filtering

 

Inlet air is filtered with protection filter that prevents potential backflow of contaminated air. Outlet air is filtered with two filters, the first filtering contaminated air, while the second protecting from potential damage of the first filter.

Contained docking station for feeding and discharging with IBCs containers and continuous liners.
Feeding and discharging in containment

 

Contained docking station for feeding and discharging with IBCs containers and continuous liners.

ergonomic and tool-free deisgn of a capsule inspection machine
Safe access with glove ports and RTP

 

Glove ports and RTP are used for safe access and interaction without breaking the containment.

SPINE HYPO offers dry and wet cleaning
Dry and wet cleaning in containment

 

Dry cleaning with aspiration enables removal of excessive surface powder. Wet cleaning enables airborne powder binding and wash down.
