HPAPI Processing And Drying Suite For Operator And Product Protection

Purpose: A two-part enclosure consisting of a Single Pass Air Flow Glove Box Enclosure and a Nitrogen Purge Enclosure was designed to provide protection to the operator and product. The left side uses HEPA-filtered supply air as well as HEPA exhaust to create a clean interior environment, while the right side provides a clean, dry nitrogen environment.

Process: The process included wetcake narcotic being oven-dried to a powder to remove water, methanol, ethanol, IPA, DCM, chloroform, acetone, and ethyl ether. After drying in the oven, 9”x13” glass trays were to be moved from the oven to a balance area for weighing. Once the final weight is measured and recorded, the material is moved to the packaging operation.
