More Advanced Product Containment

Designed to contain compounds and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API’s) of low, intermediate and potent toxicity, DCS is fully surrogate tested and certified to OEL 3B. It features a two-stage filtration system with positive, technically superior triple-sealed bag-in/bag-out arrangements and an integrated HEPA BIBO chamber under negative pressure to ensure no leakage.

Two-stage filtration includes a primary filter stage with Ultra-Web® nanofiber cartridge filters exclusively from Donaldson® Torit® and a second filter stage with HEPA filters. High efficiency MERV 13 rated Ultra-Web cartridge filters capture submicron particles on the surface of the filter media, promoting self cleaning in the containment system and allowing particles to be more easily pulsed off during cleaning. As a result, Ultra-Web and HEPA filters last longer and require less maintenance—reducing worker exposure to potent compounds.

To further reduce operator exposure, the DCS features three hopper discharge options that are now available for contaminant-free docking, undocking and compound transfer: a product transfer container with glove ports; a split butterfly valve docking system; and a continuous liner with crimp and cut operations. Custom discharge configurations are also available to meet the needs of most pharmaceutical manufacturing operations.

With its ledgeless construction (inside), the DCS can be ordered in all stainless steel or painted mild steel. Standard models handle airflow up to 6,000 cfm, and are engineered to meet ST2 explosion requirements.
