What is Containment & Why Containment
Containment is the area separation from Product to Personnel/Environmental area by a barrier. Containment is used to prevent any negative impacts (contamination) from one area to the other and vice versa. Click on this link for our complete 'Containment Fundamentals' information.
GEA Pharma Systems provide high containment docking systems dedicated to the pharmaceutical industry. The docking systems comprise of special split valves (Buck® Valve) or disposable & flexible Interfaces (Hicoflex®). These technologies provide high personal and product protection during all stages of the charge and discharge process of high potent APIs as they form a dust and contamination free interface.
Buck®, has used its 12 years experience in the field of high containment split valve technology to begin a new era in this field: the NEW Buck® Modular Containment Valve - Buck® MC Valve (patent pending).
This new concept unifies all the current requirements in high containment equipment: full GMP design, no need for lubrication, no need for vacuum, robust centering, free orientated docking, quick release without any tools as standard. But the most innovative step is the idea of using only passive valves driven by a modular actuator unit. Read more
