Whether the Aeromatic-Fielder™ Granulator is stand-alone, or integrated with drying equipment; several features can be incorporated into the process line to ensure completely contained processing:
- For loading and unloading Buck® containment valves can be mounted on the product feed and on the discharge valve.
- For processing highly toxic compounds, isolator boxes can be integrated into the design.
- Within an integrated system, transfer of product takes place using a contained vacuum transfer system.
A sampling valve that allows the operator to take samples during the process without having to stop the machine, open the bowl, or even open a port in the lid, can be integrated into the processing vessel and adapted to different containment levels. The sample container is completely contained allowing the sample to be transported to the QC lab without exposure to the atmosphere.
