In some cases, managing two skids for drum charging can be inconvenient and lead to significant space issues.
That’s why we created a unique drum charging station as a single, integrated unit. The drum charging station is not only unique because it features innovative solutions, but also because it is a single unit, eliminating the need to manage two structures that interact with each other.
Over the years, CSV Containment has produced a series of drum lifters that meet any drum charging requirement. Later, some compact stations were developed, capable of integrating the tipper with a small chamber. However, never before has the union of these two structures been so effective, solid, and capable of facing any challenge.
One is better than two, but two is better than one.
If the space required is reduced—because the skids needed for charging reactors or other equipment are reduced from two to one—the pistons that lift the drums into the chamber are doubled. Now, two arms accompany the drum upwards to bring it to the iris inlet. This new configuration gives the lifter more solidity and fluidity, and the base structure, equipped with wheels and brakes, allows the entire unit to be moved easily.
An extra hand.
Sometimes an extra hand would come in handy… That’s why we added a third glove inside the chamber. The ability to access from the side as well ensures greater ergonomics during operations inside the chamber. Extracting bags from drums becomes easier, as does reaching hard-to-access points during decontamination phases.
Main features of the new drum charging system:
- 2 black EPDM gloves on the front glass, 1 black EPDM glove on the side glass
- Differential Pressure Indicator (DPI)
- Venturi System
- Double iris DIT interface
- 3/4″ ball valve for nitrogen (N2)
- 3″ valve for air exhaust
- 2 HEPA H14 filters
- 8” canister for bag-out, with continuous liner
- Antistatic LDPE sleeve for the connection between the chamber and the discharge point
- Braked antistatic swivel wheels
- Pneumatic drum tipper to allow easy connection of the drum with the double iris interface
- Pneumatic control panel
- ATEX classification: 1.21 internal and 2.22 external
