The safe manufacture of pharmaceutical products demands a high level of quality control in an ever-changing landscape. Years past, when large batches of drug compounds were mixed in huge steel containers, powder ingredients could easily escape via dust or caught in dust extraction filters, causing yield irregularities, pollution and threatening worker safety.
Precision Powder Handling and Containment
One of the biggest factors in drug manufacturing is safe powder handling and containment. In the past, powders or compounds were open transferred from buckets into downstream process vessels, which is labor intensive, inefficient and can expose workers to fumes or dust. One solution is to use disposable technology, one time use containment, but such application can be expensive and labor intensive.
Still favored in all industries are drums of various sizes and material requiring precision drum dumpers, tilters and tippers METO System’s drum handling equipment combines need and necessity with flexibility and functionality. Our range of equipment can be found in a variety of different designs throughout pharmaceutical production. They are ideal for charging coaters; tablet presses, mills and screeners, handling powders, granules, pellets, tablets and gels
Our patented cam tilting system, and tapered custom chutes allow for ease in charging none dusty products in through vertical charging ports; full inverters discharging toxic, potent or sterile product through horizontal dust free charging ports, drum conditions for agglomerated product METO Systems drum conditioners and portable transporters PLM-01 Sanitary Drum Transport for moving drums horizontally through the plant
Regardless of the application, METO Systems’ dumpers, tilters and tippers include stainless steel construction with a biopharma grade standard finish; non-marking, white polyolefin wheels; powered floor-locking devices; and mounted, push-button controls.
Guaranteeing Product security
In the drug manufacturing process, a safe, smooth transfer of powders is essential for product security. An operations team must rely on an effective transfer and containment system designed exclusively for their product;
Creating Efficient Processes
In the past decade, pharmaceutical companies have realized a need for more efficient processes and changed from traditional manufacturing to agile, flexible single use operations. The changes affected the details of manufacturing and the equipment needed to remain competitive. We work directly with the disposable technology industry leaders to provide a 100% complimentary system to suit their single use technology.
At METO Systems we work closely with our clients to offer a variety of configurations that fit their needs. Our equipment can accommodate a variety of intimate applications including laboratory scale equipment to full size production equipment
When controlled product flow or precise feeding is called for, consider talking with METO Systems. We will customize our approach to suit your operation and application requirements.
Custom options can include but not be limited to, simultaneous or parallel operation, custom control integration with third party control technology, exotic steels, 3rd party integration wireless operation, no touch technology etc.
