Bulk Powder Containment Enclosures

Bulk Powder Containment Enclosures are specifically engineered to provide safe, controlled, and ergonomically designed environments for weighing and handling powders directly from drum containers. These enclosures are ideal for laboratories and industrial facilities that require precise containment of high-potency compounds or sensitive pharmaceutical materials. The BP series offers a reliable, cost-effective alternative to built-in downflow booths, delivering containment levels of less than 30 nanograms/m³ while ensuring operator safety and operational efficiency.

Detailed Specifications

The BP series enclosures are designed for handling large quantities of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or other potent powders while providing maximum protection for laboratory personnel. The enclosures feature a unique low-flow design that provides localised extraction around drum openings, ensuring a low-turbulence workspace that allows for accurate weighing and minimal cross-contamination.

• Ergonomic design for easy access to deep drum containers, improving workflow efficiency
• Independently tested to provide an ECL (Exposure Control Limit) of <1 µg/m³, exceeding industry safety standards
• Stainless steel enclosure with toughened glass viewing window for visibility and durability
• Durable stainless steel work surface suitable for high-volume powder handling
• Localised safe-change HEPA filtration for effective airborne particle control
• Dual-sensor airflow alarm system to ensure safe, continuous operation
• Available widths: 1500 mm and 1800 mm to suit varying laboratory layouts
• Interconnectable design allows seamless sample transfer between multiple enclosures
• Variable speed fan enables customised airflow for different laboratory instruments
• Low air volume requirement reduces running costs while maintaining safety
• DOP test and IQ/OQ commissioning package included as standard
• Optional upgrades include mobile bench solutions, roof-mounted filters, and solvent filtration for specialised applications
• Fully supported by our Ireland-based service team for installation, maintenance, and technical support
