Containment Solutions
GEA offers a single-use high containment interface for the safe and dust-free transfer of solid dosage material to fully protect your operator and your product.
Single-use containment enables your operators to perform the jobs they should be doing, not washing small containers or waiting for cleaning validation.
Safe, easy to use and cost-effective, Hicoflex® gives you the power to work more effectively and efficiently – by reducing overheads and running costs while improving yield and output, and getting product to market faster. Benefits include
Hicoflex® disposable containment technology comprises two identical couplings that are joined together to seal the external faces, thus providing dust-tight product transfer. Hicoflex® Consumables can be operated using specially engineered equipment.
Whatever your application, from charging a reactor or tablet press to discharging an isolator or process unit, to the fully contained transfer of hazardous materials, we have a solution that fits your needs.
Charging and Discharging
Hicoflex® stations and our Hicoflex® Trolley enable the safe and efficient charging and discharging of hazardous products while complying with stringent containment requirements.
Sampling Technology
The specially designed Hicoflex® Sample Bag allows non-intrusive sampling from IBCs reactors or process units, for example. The sample can then be transported in a closed bag to any location where it can be removed and analyzed when required.
High Level Containment
Offering containment from 1–10 μg/m3 (STTWA) as standard, containment levels down to <1 μg/m3 (STTWA) can be achieved with an optional Hicoflex® Suction Device.
BUCK® valves were the first commercially available split valves on the market. Used for the contained transfer of active powders from one vessel to another in pharmaceutical production, BUCK® technology is the result of thousands of successful applications worldwide and more than 15 years of experience.
IBC Systems are widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing as storage, transport and, with the increasing use of in-container applications, blending vessels.
Based on the traditional concept of a live coal-mine canary, the 21st century equivalent from GEA is a continuous real-time monitoring system that’s been designed to detect breaches in contained pharmaceutical production lines. By providing an additional level of monitoring, the Digital Canary reduces the need for routine occupational health chec...
GEA offers a range of contained sampling devices for the pharmaceutical industry. These devices are build around the Buck® valve technologies.
Quando il produttore alimentare sudcoreano Pulmuone, attento alle tematiche ambientali, ha proposto a GEA di sviluppare una versione moderna dei tradizionali noodle freddi (naengmyeon), gli esperti di R&S di GEA si sono dimostrati pronti a cogliere la sfida. Hanno contribuito a sviluppare quello che oggi è un successo commerciale, prodotto con meno acqua ed elettricità rispetto ai metodi precedenti. Il risultato è anche fedele alle origini tradizionali del piatto e ai principi salutistici, di benessere e di sostenibilità di Pulmuone.
L'innovativo processo di GEA segna una svolta fondamentale nel pretrattamento dei biocombustibili, come l'olio vegetale idrotrattato e il carburante sostenibile per l'aviazione. L'eliminazione del processo di sbiancamento offre ai produttori un notevole potenziale di risparmio: oltre il 50% in meno di costi operativi e fino al 12% in meno di emissioni di CO2.
