The concept of a One-Pot Processor in itself already ensures
contained processing by executing granulation and drying in one
vessle and thus avoiding product transfers. Additionally, the UltimaPro™ by
Collette (part of GEA Pharma Systems group) can be equipped with several
features to optimise the containment of toxic pharmaceutical products.
The product feed and discharge valve can be equipped with BuckValve®
high containment technology and upon customer request, even with isolator
boxes.
A sampling valve that allows the operator to take samples during the process
without having to stop the machine, open the bowl, or even open a port in the
lid, can be integrated into the
processing vessel and adapted to different
containment levels. The sample container is completely contained allowing the
sample to be transported to the QC lab without exposure to the atmosphere.
The concept of containment not only applies to the production area. When
working with organic solvents, recovery and containment of these solvents is as
important as containment of the
product itself. The UltimaPro™ is equipped
with a very efficient recovery system that can
recover up to more than 99%
of the used solvents.
