PHARMA GRADE POWDER PACKAGING

October 2, 2017

Matrix performed all design engineering and control integration required for a pharmaceutical grade packaging system including a sanitary and clean-in-place design for discharging the product from the packaging bin. Downstream equipment included a sanitary airlock, magnet, screen and metal detector.

We replaced a vibrating bin discharger which was impossible to thoroughly clean and inspect with a sanitary aeration discharge cone. The airlock had a removable rotor that slid out from the housing on linear bearings. In addition we were able to mount the vibrating scalping screener on a stand with v-groove wheels for ease of pulling out of the stack-up for cleaning and/or screen changing. The system was so well received, we have since duplicated in other processes for this same client.
