Buck® HC Valve
Highly reliable protection for personnel and products
The pharmaceutical industry is continually confronted by increasing requirements for correct product handling. Where ever material transfer takes place, then the restrictions on dust emission must be adhered to.
A major aspect of these restrictions is the protection of both products and personnel during production processes in the chemical and especially the pharmaceutical industries.
Restrictions apply particularly to dust-free charging and discharging of production units with sensitive or toxic powders right up to granulates – a challenge which the equipment from Buck® comprehensively meets.
Buck® UHC Valve with shroud
Patented Buck® HC (High Containment) split valve
Docking systems, like the patented split butterfly valve technology from Buck®, have an excellent international reputation. These systems consist of an active and a passive valve that are able to seal (dustproof) two different container systems independently of each other.
The active “split valve” is located on the fixed production unit and can be activated both manually or automatically.
The passive split valve is attached to a mobile receptacle by means of variable attachment options and has an additional mechanical lock that prevents it from opening on its own without the active unit.
Buck® UHC (Ultra High Containment) Split Valve
The UHC shroud is specially designed to approach a OEL level of 1 µg/m³. The risk of possible dust exposure during product transfer, cleaning and undocking is almost eliminated.
Various components can be added to the docking system, thanks to its modular constructional form and this offers the customer many and varied options.
