Stainless steel containers/ IBC

IBC for the handling of pharmaceutical products

Whether weighing, blending, storing, transporting or documenting powders and granules: We offer a range of uniform, modular stainless steel containers in square or round designs to suit any application, with or without accessories. Just the way you need it.

Containers undergo a significant load as the connecting element between different processing steps. Depending on the specific requirements, we prepare sturdy stainless steel containers as self-supporting structures or with a torsionally rigid frame. Our range includes GMP compliant stainless steel constructions with a net volume of up to 3,400 liters. We offer enhanced designs for easy cleaning validation particularly for containment applications.

Depending on requirements, our containers can be equipped with supplemental assemblies. Whether you need stacking corners, forklift capability, rollers, filling covers, filters or discharging aids, transport runners for the conveyor, a holder for the batch documentation, a bar code ID, or another accessory module: We can provide you with the needed equipment for any container need. Customized for your individual application.

Lift, discharge and transport systems

Whether lifting, lowering, turning or swinging: We have the suitable lifting column, discharge and transport system – stationary or mobile – for every application. From easy tank discharging to complex handling systems. Tailored to your individual needs or as a multi-functional universal solution.

Our lifting and discharging systems are optimally constructed in individual lengths for your needs and can be manually or automatically operated. The sturdy all-round talents assist you in filling and discharging containers such as tanks, barrels, big-bags or product containers.

Lifting and tipping the stationary systems takes place through a hydraulic drive. For smaller containers up to 170 kilograms, we also offer a mobile version with a manual tilt drive. You can achieve larger filling amounts with our system for compact models thanks to our telescopic technology.

Take advantage of our varied range of lifting and discharging systems: Inclusion of special containers, setting different positions, movement around different axes or control integration in higher-level systems are just a few of the many possible applications.

Suction conveyor systems

Our intelligent and flexible pneumatic conveying systems allow the product to be gently filled and discharged in containers and process systems by directly connecting two processing steps. The ideal assistant for your processes.

Glatt suction conveyor systems feed powder, granulate and other free-flowing solids easily and gently using low pressure. They are optimally suitable for horizontal product flow and can transport product volumes of 10 to 1,500 liters through a product separator that is directly connected to the subsequent process step.

The GMP compliant systems, which can be validated, can be utilized in batch processing or continuous operation by means of additional equipment. Our PRO concept (12 bar pressure-shock resistance) connects highest safety demands with all the requirements of total containment.

Multiple cleaning concepts all the way to the SuperClean® version can be selected. On the exhaust side, the PCS are equipped with filters that are automatically cleaned.

Containment Valve System

High-potency substances in research, development and production require highly effective safety precautions for the operating personnel, the product and the environment.

Our TKS Containment Valve System with two identical static seals, guarantees a contamination-free product transfer between two containers. It provides dust-free product transfer even with substances with high OEL or OEB requirements and even up to the requirements in the nanogram range. The intelligent flap technology ensures maximum safety for products, people, and the environment.

In combination with custom-made docking systems, Glatt offers various solutions for handling solids by maintaining minimum emission limit values. Our ambition is to implement technically and economically optimized solutions for our customers, their product development and production.

Weighing and dosing systems

One of the most important requirements for manufacturing and refining particles from powder or liquids is the accurate and reproducible weighing and dosing of the different excipients and supplemental and active ingredients. We offer you a comprehensive range of premium weighing and dosing systems.

Dosing systems

For accurate dosing, we provide various systems, such as rotary feeders, feeders or vibration dosing sieves. Take advantage of high-quality and accurate solutions for reliable results.

Weighing systems for large components

We have the perfectly fitting solution for the direct weighing of raw materials from sacks, big-bags, barrels and containers. Perfectly integrated into the half or fully automatic filling and discharging systems and into your entire process control systems. According to your needs and construction requirements, you have the choice of free-standing or tight-fitting scales flush to the floor.

Weighing systems for small components

You can find the perfect solution for your needs for weighing active substances, additives and supplements from small containers in our portfolio. Our weighing systems for small components not only offer high accuracy, but also allow the results to be documented in paper or digital format with an integrated interface to your process control system. For sensitive, such as UV-sensitive or hygroscopic products, weighing cabinets are available. Our solution for the safety of your processing.

Container blender

We have the right solution for every blending task. Whether standard containers, customized transport containers or barrels: Our effective drum and container blenders can easily be integrated into your processing line and are just as simple and quick to charge. Filling volumes up to 3,000 liters can be handled without any problem.

Glatt blenders guarantee blending that is gentle to the product and creates a homogeneous mix of raw material and dry granulates. The 30-degree alignment of our square containers and the use of a two-axle blender in our round containers means that you don’t need any blending aids. Our blenders can work free of contamination. Charging is done simply by using a lifting trolley. Different clamping options guarantee an optimal fit with the current application.

Our tilting container blenders are superbly suitable for straightforward blending applications. The blender series with lifting function is suitable for multiple uses: Whether charging containers from the upper level, dispensing into the target container, or simultaneously charging production equipment – everything is possible.

And for special container sizes and specific designs, our cage container blender is perfectly suited. Effective and homogeneous blending – exactly tailored to your individual application.

No matter which blending solution you choose – our modern controls meet all requirements for documentation and validation.

Laboratory Container Blender

A flexible container mixer for small batch sizes in laboratory scale: ideal for the mixing and homogenization of varying or identical powders and granulates in only a few minutes. Compact and multi-talented, it comes equipped with a safety sensor, freely selectable mixing times and stepless speed adjustment between 20 and 120 rpm. Practical to handle and easy to clean. Container sizes of 2.5 and 10 Liters are available to meet your demands.

CM.Lab

Laboratory container blender for the MultiLab.  Fast blending results due to optimal positioning of the IBC for uniform blending.
