Production Process
Kenyon’s Enclosed Powder Transfer System is designed for transferring sensitive powder in a contained fashion into reactors as part of the pharmaceutical manufacturing operation. The system ensures the safe transfer of powder material directly into mixing vessels or reactors through a specific tank nozzle as against charging powder material through manhole or a chute. The main purpose is to prevent operator exposure to these sensitive powder and to minimize environmental exposure. Furthermore, by using nitrogen, it maintains an inert environment inside the reactor to reduce risk of fire. It can also reduce dust and wastage.
SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS OF EPTS:
- The EPTS system uses Nitrogen rather than vacuum for the transfer.
- EPTS uses fully pneumatic system that eliminates the need of ex-proof electro-pneumatic devices and control panels.
- Our operation is continuous and purging of exhaust filter (rarely needed) is done simply by pushing only one button for each of the filter.
- Setting up the transfer operation is easy and fast. Just tie the plastic bag around a patent pending multi-function adaptor disc valve and powder transfer operation can begin. The transfer operation is by means of a transfer lance operating inside a normally inflated clear plastic bag. The entire transfer operation is carried out with full view of the interior of the plastic bag.
- Kenyon’s EPTS is small, compact, simple yet very robust.
- Charging speed for most powder is in excess of 1kg per minute.
- Maintenance is made easy and filters need not be regularly changed.
- The cyclone separator enables minimum dust generated inside the reactor/blender and hence makes cleaning of tank nozzles easy.
