A packaging system gets a containment retrofit

| By Chemical Engineering

This company’s latest retrofit containment project included a Bosch capsule-filling machine that was completed for a U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturer. The design included the gloves being held in special gloveport retainers with integral safety interlocked guards. The operator required less than 1 µg/m3 operator exposure level (OEL) and asked this company to retrofit containment onto the existing capsule filling machine. New swing-out doors were retrofitted with safety interlocks. — Powder Systems (PSL), Liverpool, U.K.
