Containment Solutions

Scalable protection, from dust-tight to OEB5 high containment

Containment built into every machine


As active pharmaceutical ingredients grow more potent, protecting operators without slowing down production is no longer optional, it's a baseline requirement across the industry. Containment needs to scale with the product, not the other way around. That principle is built into the platform from the start, rather than treated as an add-on: every machine in the range, from tablet dedusters to capsule polishers, scales from dust-tight to full OEB5 high containment, without compromising performance or ease of validation.


Where

Containment is built into the machine itself: the core dedusting or polishing zone, transfer points to the next stage of the line, and sampling or testing interfaces. The right level depends on your product's potency, your Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL), and your cleaning process.


 How

Rather than separate machines for separate potency levels, we built one flexible platform across our entire i- product family, from dust-tight to full high-containment washable. Every unit also accepts optional add-ons: diverters, sampling systems, test sample inserters, Auto-Check, and IPC testers.

Principles of containment

Protecting operators without slowing down production


Why

As active ingredients become more potent, exposure control stops being optional. Containment protects operators from dust during dedusting, polishing, and transfer, while keeping your process compliant and your product free from cross-contamination. Training is included with every machine we deliver.

Dust-Tight


≤OEB2 (DT) processing for standard production

For products with no elevated exposure risk, dust-tight design contains standard powder and dust generated during processing, keeping the work environment clean without adding complexity to day-to-day operation. This is the standard configuration across most OSD production.

Containment


≤OEB4 Containment (C) for potent APIs

Where active ingredients require controlled exposure, sealed transfer points and pressure monitoring keep operators protected throughout dedusting, polishing, and product transfer, without slowing the line down.

High-Containment


≤OEB5 High containment (HC) for the most demanding compounds

For highly potent or hazardous compounds, full operator isolation is built into every stage of the process, from processing to transfer to cleaning.

Wash-in-Place

At this level, cleaning is built into the process itself. A Wash-in-Place (WIP) system removes residual dust before disassembly, so operators never handle contaminated parts directly. Integrated pressure decay testing confirms the system is fully sealed before the next batch starts, keeping cleaning validation as reliable as the containment itself.

Which containment level do you need ?

Not sure which configuration fits your product? A few questions can point you in the right direction.

Below 1000 µg/m³, a Dust Tight configuration is often sufficient. Below 10 µg/m³, you are likely looking at Containment or High Containment.

Standard OSD products typically run well on Dust Tight. Potent or cytotoxic compounds usually require Containment (C) or High Containment (HC).

If your process requires full wash-in-place without manual disassembly, High Containment is built for exactly that.

If yes, look at our Containment or High Containment configurations with sealed Flex Connect transfer.


Still not sure? Our engineers can help you match your product's potency profile to the right configuration.
