Material Handling Systems from Glatt Air Techniques

Glatt is a major supplier of powder handling & processing systems for the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. Glatt can supply individual components of a material handling system or complete systems along with all controls and integration planning and engineering. All of Glatt's material handling components and systems are built to the highest cGMP and performance standards.

Material handling systems encompass all equipment that links the processing machinery and assists with automating material flow, containment, cross contamination control, and efficiency. A typical material handling system consists of raw material unloading equipment such as bulk bag dispensing systems, drum handling and discharging equipment, and bag dumping stations. Integral with the raw material unloading is weighing and dosing equipment that allows for proper formulations into intermediate bulk containers (IBC's). The intermediate bulk containers (IBC's) store batches of material in between the process steps, provide an easy means for movement between process equipment, and allows for contained blending. Post hoists lift IBC's over process equipment for ease of off loading by gravity.

For potent or toxic material split butterfly valves allows for completely contained product transfer between an IBC and a process machine eliminating personnel exposure and cross contamination.
