iCaps – capsule polisher with metal check “C” Containment ≤OEB4

The iCaps range offers great flexibility, enhanced output, and superior polishing efficiency.
Thanks to its modular design, the iCaps is customizable to meet specific customer requirements.

Key benefits
  • Operator and product safety up to ≤OEB4 containment level
  • Pressure monitoring with fail-safe security valves
  • Total emptying with all capsules type
  • 4 elevation heights from 1000 mm to 2200 mm
  • FDA-approved light components to handle and wash
  • Ergonomic, Efficient, Robust, Reliable
  • No risk of cross contamination - Easy validation
  • Central HMI with OPC UA, CFR 21 Part 11 compliant

When manufacturing or planning to manufacture potent drugs, a containment unit is needed to protect the operator and his environment. To ensure an ≤OEB4 containment level, our iCapsC” – Containment – features:

  • A contained test sample inserter to avoid contact between the product and the operator while testing the metal detector operation.
  • A continuous pressure monitoring to ensure the equipment remains under negative pressure at all times, preventing dust particles from escaping.
  • Fail-safe pinch valves, automatically creating a safe environment for the operator if a problem is detected.
  • Simple and contained disconnection of peripheral process equipment, using our Flex Connect pipe in conjunction with a double LDPE barrier and Clip & Cut.
  • A unique antistatic patented metal check connectivity allows the machine to have easy tightness while discharging potential static electricity from the capsules.

This containment system is modularly upgradable to a “HC” High Containment washable solution.
