Big Bag Docking Systems and Stations for Controlled Powder Transfer.
CSV Containment designs and manufactures customized Big Bag Docking Systems for high containment applications. Our solutions range from complete docking stations to dedicated T-shaped hardware interfaces for pharmaceutical and fine chemical processes.
Big Bag Docking Stations must provide a secure connection between the FIBC and the processing equipment, while ensuring controlled material transfer, operator protection and efficient bag replacement.
At CSV Containment, we design and manufacture tailor-made stations for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications, combining robust mechanical structures with specialized containment technologies. From elevated reactor charging installations to complex discharging systems, every configuration is engineered around the production process and its operational constraints.
Big Bag Docking Stations: From Structural Design to Process Integration.
Depending on customer requirements, our stations can be installed above or below reactors, centrifuges, filter dryers and other processing equipment.Discharging systems may transfer powders directly into receiving equipment or containers, using gravity or a buffer hopper connected to a vacuum transfer circuit.
For more complex installations, CSV Containment develops elevated loading structures equipped with hoists, connectors, piping and actuated valves. These components work together to facilitate Big Bag positioning, connection and discharge, while improving accessibility and ergonomics for operators.
T-Shaped Hardware Interfaces: Canisters and Closing Caps.
Alongside complete docking stations, CSV Containment develops dedicated T-shaped hardware interfaces for connecting FIBC liners to processing equipment.
Unlike T-shaped liner manufactured entirely from flexible film, these solutions employ rigid stainless-steel canisters whit a T-shape configuration and dedicated closing components to establish a reusable mechanical interface.
The T-shaped configuration can accommodate liner connections and bag-in/bag-out operations, supporting controlled attachment and removal procedures. This hardware-based approach is particularly relevant for facilities seeking permanent, engineered interfaces that can be integrated into existing equipment.
DIT® technology patent for controlled discharge.
Our patented DIT® iris technology helps us. We integrate iris systems into our Docking Station to control and regulate material discharge. Depending on the product, the elastomer-based modular opening system enables precise and controlled material release, functioning almost like a dosing mechanism.
Additionally, our Docking Station features inflatable seals to facilitate the replacement of the High Containment Big Bag. Some setups also include glove bags for enhanced safety during handling. For bag-out systems, we integrate internally produced LDPE donut liners. For a secure closure and separation of the inner liner, we recommend combining our Twin Tie system with the new manual tensioner.
Tailor-Made Hardware for Existing and New Installations.
Every production facility presents different challenges, from limited installation space to elevated charging points and specific containment requirements. Whether upgrading an existing system or developing a complete new station, CSV Containment works with engineers and operators to identify the most appropriate arrangement of hardware, interfaces and transfer technologies.
