DISPENSING & SUB-DIVISION
Isolator
The Dispensing & Sub-division
Isolator is designed to provide operator protection
during the handling of product with low OEL. The
Isolator is a self-contained unit with on board air
handling system and integrated control system.
The Isolator has a dedicated Air Handling plant to
provide the Double Chamber environment(s) with a
once-through airflow arrangement. This includes:-
|
■ |
Single centrifugal fan |
|
■ |
HEPA filtered Inlet and outlet
air |
|
■ |
Inlet air is a single cartridge
type filter |
|
■ |
Outlet air is a double high
capacity cassette type filter |
Operator vision panels provided on the Isolator with
glove ports ergonomically located, permit manipulation
of product, dispensing tools / materials during the
dispensing and sub division process. The Isolator system
is furnished with the active element of a split
butterfly valve, which allows the contained transfer of
products from drums to transfer canisters. Suitably
sized charge canisters fitted with the passive element
of the split butterfly valve are provided to complete
this contained transfer. A docking system to interface
the passive element with the active element of the split
butterfly system is also part of the control system for
the Isolator. |

TRIPLE CHAMBER CONTAINMENT SYSTEM
The Isolator is designed to
provide containment to enable the safe handling of
product and operates at a negative pressure to the
surrounding environment. The Isolator is facilitated
with an on-board air-handling system that provides a
vacuum ensuring any potential leaks are inward. In
addition to this there is a containment breach alarm
condition in which the fan speed is automatically
increased upon detection of a loss of vacuum. This
ensures that an inrush velocity of 0.5m/s is provided
through an open glove port.
