Unloading

In the absence of Process Analytical Technology (PAT), it is necessary to take samples for analysis in the laboratory. When sampling highly potent materials, the operation is usually a challenge both in terms of operator protection and the risk of cross-contamination.

APIs are often stored in double bag barrels. Dec offers a compact and simple sampling solution based on DCS® Drum Containment System for unloading barrels. The mobile system provides a high level of containment (less than 1 µg/m³). Sampling may be carried out in an inert atmosphere.

Dec develops custom designed insulators for unpacking and/or sampling or for direct loading into process equipment. These systems provide a high degree of tightness and a controlled environment, fast cleaning and drying during product changes.

Depending on the type of input packaging, the isolators can be equipped with an airlock, a rapid transfer port (RTP) or a drum docking system.

Auxiliary equipment such as screens or mills can be integrated depending on the requirements of the process.

Flexible insulators provide protection with a special film that is installed on the frame, which allows you to keep the desired shape. The film can flex with the sleeve, allowing greater mobility and a higher level of ergonomics.

DEC flexible insulators can be used for both toxic and sterile processes. Unlike hard sheath insulators, they can be easily disassembled and require less storage space.

Main advantages: low cost, ergonomics, adaptability and safety.

FlexiPharm is a flexible isolator that provides operator protection with containment levels up to 1µg/m³. Ideal for small batches, available with 2, 3 or 4 glove ports and air inlet/outlet.

When weighing and dosing potentially hazardous, dusty and volatile substances, operator protection is required by isolating process and product.

IsoPharm is an innovative isolator that provides a cost effective solution and is designed to the high standards required by the pharmaceutical industry.

IsoPharm is the ideal solution for weighing and dosing operations with high potency APIs. Available with 2, 3 or 4 glove ports and air inlet/outlet. 

The Isocharge Dec is a hybrid design that combines laminar flow technology with a glove isolator to provide operator protection. A flexible solution with a high degree of tightness, designed for quick emptying of product from bags or drums.

The system consists of a stainless steel chamber, open on one side, which allows easy loading of the packaged product. This fundamental feature allows you to load while leaving the door open.

This achieves a containment level of 1 μg/m³ when open due to the unique design of the main chamber.

The isolator provides separation between the product handling area and the operator/outdoor area.

SteriPharm is an easy to use and maintain isolator providing a cost effective solution for aseptic processing or sterility testing.

SteriPharm is designed to provide increased protection and process integrity by using turbulent flow ideal for sterility testing or recirculating unidirectional airflow for aseptic manufacturing (Class A / ISO 5 environments).

The patented DCS® drum emptying system is a cylindrical stainless steel box with glove ports and a glass lid. The system ensures accurate product discharge from drums with high tightness (<1 µg/m³).

Accurate dosing is ensured by load cells. A freely movable suction lance connected to the PTS Powder Transfer System® powder transfer system allows product to be unloaded without residue .

Isotube is an insulator for the safe unpacking of barrels of various sizes with potent APIs.

The system consists of an enclosed glove box equipped with HEPA filters and a docking system that allows easy drum attachment, bag unloading and isolated removal via a side port.

Isotube provides a high level of isolation: less than 1 µg/m³.
