What is Containment & Why Containment?
Containment is the area separation from Product to Personnel and Environment
by barrier. Containment is used to prevent any negative impacts (contamination)
from one area to the other and vice versa. Click on this link for our complete

information.
GEA Pharma Systems provide high containment docking systems dedicated to the
pharmaceutical industry. The docking systems comprise of special split valves
(Buck® Valve) or disposable
& flexible Interfaces (Hicoflex®). These technologies provide high personal and
product protection during all stages of the charge and discharge process of
high potent APIs as they form a dust and contamination free interface.
Buck®, has used its 12 years experience in the field of high containment
split valve technology to begin a new era in this field: the NEW Buck® Modular
Containment Valve - Buck® MC Valve (patent pending).
This new concept unifies all the current requirements in high
containment equipment: full GMP design, no need for lubrication, no need for
vacuum, robust centering, free orientated docking, quick release without any
tools as standard. But the most innovative step is the idea of using only
passive valves driven by a modular actuator unit.
