Introduction
The WIBO Drum Port® is a high containment solution designed for the safe handling of fiber drums in API production. Developed by Weiss GWE GmbH, it enhances the proven WIBObarrier® system with new inward transfer and discharge technology, ensuring GMP/FDA-compatible product transfer into cleanrooms.
Specifications
The system features an external lifting unit to prevent contamination from dust on the packaging unit's surface, reducing space requirements, air consumption, and cleaning efforts. It uses a pneumatically inflatable tube seal to secure the port inlet during drum transfer, protecting the drum's outer surface from airborne particles and gases through precise air displacement.
Procedures
Once the packaging unit is transferred, the lid is automatically opened, held by the drum port, and replaced upon closing. The WIBObarrier® air guiding system creates a clean-air curtain, separating the work area from the surrounding environment, ensuring safe retention and product protection up to ISO class 5.
Benefits- Reduced interior space due to external lifting unit.
- Significant reduction in cleaning effort and air consumption.
- Compatibility with fiber drums of varying sizes.
- Prevention of cross-contamination between product and dust.
- Automatic handling of packaging unit lid.
- Retention capability of up to < 1 μg/m³.
- Cost-effective alternative to RTP ports.
- Compatibility with flexible containment solutions.
