Containment Charging Isolator
Glovebox isolator feeding system for transferring powders from bags into process equipment under contained conditions
- Overall dimensions: Customized
- Working pressure: -0.7kPa to +0.7kPa
- Optional features: Oxygen concentration control
Nitrogen purging
The containment charging isolator provides a sealed solution for powder discharging and transfer. Material bags are conveyed via roller tracks and passed through a transfer window into the operating chamber. Operators handle the bags through glove ports to open and empty the contents, while waste bags are collected automatically through a dedicated waste recovery unit. The entire operation is fully enclosed, preventing dust escape and ensuring operator safety. This containment isolator supports online cleaning (CIP) and can be customized for different materials and processes.
Features
- Dust-free protection
Dual-seal design with transfer window and negative-pressure dust extraction ensures a clean and contained working environment. - Operator safety through isolation
Closed-loop glove port design enables safe, contact-free discharging of corrosive or moderately toxic powders. - Intelligent waste collection
Automatic waste bag collection unit slides used bags into a sealed compartment, eliminating manual cleaning and secondary contamination. - Automated cleaning (CIP)
Fully automatic clean-in-place system simplifies maintenance and prevents cross-contamination. - Integrated powder handling
The containment isolator can be seamlessly connected with vacuum conveyors or big bag discharging stations, forming a fully enclosed discharging–conveying–dosing circuit for safe, efficient powder management.
Applications
- Discharging of corrosive or toxic powders
- Contained handling of high-value or sensitive powders
- Integration with vacuum conveying systems for a fully enclosed discharging and conveying loop
Typical Applications
Aluminum chloride (chemical raw material)
Silver powder
