GEA Process Engineering Inc. Buck Valve® HC

Buck Valve® HC (High Containment) Valve Regarding the correct methods for product handling, the pharmaceutical industry is continually being confronted by increasing requirements. Wherever solid material transfer takes place, the restrictions on dust emission must be adhered to. One of the major aspects of the restrictions is the protection of both products and personnel during production processes in the chemical and especially the pharmaceutical industries. Restrictions apply particularly to dust-free charging and discharging of production units with sensitive or toxic powders right up to granulates - a challenge which the equipment from Buck Valve® comprehensively meets. Docking systems like the patented split-valve technology from Buck Valve®, for example, the Buck Valve® HC, have an excellent reputation world wide. These systems consist of an active and a passive valve that are able to seal (dustproof) two different container systems independently of each other. The active "split valve" is located on the fixed production unit and can be activated manually or automatically. The passive split valve is attached to a mobile receptacle by means of variable attachment options and has an additional mechanical lock that prevents it from opening on its own without the active unit.
