Bulk Powder/Chemical Transfer Stations

Designed for:

• Designed specifically to completely contain bulk powder processes
• Ideal for plant operations and large scale potent powder transfers
• Non-turbulent airflow prevents balance fluctuation and loss of material
• Safe for use with Level I, II, and III Compounds
• Safebridge Consulting independently tested the Bulk Powder Containment System and results showed no traceable detection of product in the breathing zone of the operator.
• Meets and exceeds The ASHRAE 110 Standard for Containmen

Description

Using the same stringent engineering standards behind the VBSE™, Flow Sciences has developed a bulk powder containment system that makes bulk material handling safe and easy. Flow Sciences' Patented Bulk Powder Containment System is available with all the necessary accessories to completely contain the process. The turbulence-free airflow provides a stable working environment that will not disrupt balance readings and works with Toploading, Analytical, semi-micro and Micro balances. The base of the unit comes standard with a 20" diameter cutout or can be designed to accommodate larger drum dimensions. A drum lift raises and lowers containers into the enclosure. Drum's inner and outer bags are sealed around retaining rings with replaceable membranes. Each enclosure is mounted on a stainless steel table or cart for added mobility. Also, each system comes equipped with a standard sidewall waste chute and face velocity alarm to continuously monitor air flow.

Independent tests performed on the Bulk Powder Containment System showed containment down to less than 5 nanograms per cubic meter (8hr TWA avg), a containment factor of over 50,000 when following good laboratory practices. Test Data is available upon request.

Customers requiring Bulk Powder Systems need a minimal level of consultation. Please contact a Flow Sciences' Sales Representative for application assistance.
