Patented PTS - Powder Transfer System

The patented PTS, Powder Transfer System, offers numerous advantages over conventional transfer systems, particularly in the charging of pressure vessels. Ideal for solids such as finished pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and metal powders, PTS allows powder to be charged directly into closed vessels, including those under vacuum or pressure, or those containing solvents, in a totally safe manner while preventing the formation of dust or the introduction of oxygen. Its design is space-saving, efficient, clean and provides an exceptionally reliable method to safely transfer and dispense powders, including products with difficult flow characteristics. When extreme safety is required, the fully-pneumatic PTS offers significant benefits in the prevention of explosions or hazards of flammability.

An important factor, especially in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, is cleanliness. PTS makes cleaning simple. The PTS body is designed to avoid the retention of product and the filter is continuously unclogged. All parts are easily accessible and thanks to a design that conforms to cGMP requirements, easily cleaned.

Powder can be transferred from almost any receptacle or process equipment into any type of receiver or another process vessel. PTS can be made to dose either volumetrically or gravimetrically.

There are few mechanical parts and its sturdy construction guarantees prolonged service life. The materials of construction as well as any coatings which might be required are selected as a function of the product the PTS will have to handle.

Thanks to its compact design, PTS can very easily be integrated into existing production lines. The system is simply mounted directly on a vessel or can be portable for multiple vessel use.
