Pharmaceutical Powder Packaging Glovebox

This containment chamber allows safe handling and packaging of chemotherapy powders and other hazardous materials. A filter/fan unit mounted on the chamber ceiling draws air through a HEPA filter (99.99% efficient @ 0.3µm particles). Exhaust air is drawn through a second HEPA filter and then ventilated through a 4" (102 mm)-diameter conduit to a remote secondary filtration unit. Filter port covers enable the operator to seal the chamber when the filtration system is turned OFF, allowing weighing or handling of fine powders in a still-air, contamination-free environment. A right-side air lock is provided for passing material in and out of the chamber. In addition, swing-up viewing windows allow convenient front loading of scales, sealers, and other larger processing tools.
