Customized Feeding Solution For Loading Pharmaceutical Reactors And Mix Tanks

By Sharon Nowak

Loading potent compounds and other dust hazard solids into mix tanks and reactors has always presented a challenge, due to the variety of heights required and the containment methods needed to protect both the operator and the process. The pharmaceutical and chemical industries are trending toward fully automated systems, with as little human interaction as possible. In addition to providing a safe method of loading, end-users are looking for a way to accurately weigh and batch these flowing powders directly to the tank, without off line weighing stations. The method of delivery must be highly accurate as well as versatile in order to address different batch weights within the same unit.

Often, a complication of feeding and batching is having to charge tanks/reactors of different heights and configurations. Discover a feeding solution that not only accurately feeds in a contained manner but can also be moved from mixer to mixer, as required by the individual formulations.
