The new improved "sterile as standard" ChargeBageuro from ChargePoint Technology is the ideal choice for contained transfer of potent powders, ensuring maximum product recovery, quality and operator protection.
The protection of operators and integrity of product during manufacturing processes is a constant priority for the pharmaceutical industry. During the transfer of this product from process to process these priorities are achieved via containment devices such as rapid transfer ports, continuous liners, glovebox isolators and RABS. Typical problems associated with these solutions include:
Difficult, time consuming and costly to clean
Potential for cross contamination if not cleaned correctly
Inefficient for small scale production or process changes
Material transfer difficulties and limited product recovery
The use of a flexible, single use container such as the ChargeBageuro provides a cost effective solution eliminating the disadvantages associated with other devices.
Operator Protection
High containment, with OEL's of <1ug/m3, during the transfer process is achieved when the ChargeBageuro is used in conjunction with a Split Butterfly Valve such as the ChargePoint.
Maintaining containment integrity, the bag is connected to the split valve "Passive" via a simple patented EziDock Polypropylene tri-clamp connection. An ergonomic reinforced handle and lightweight construction ensure comfortable manual handling and easy operation.
No cleaning required
Cleaning time, therefore process downtime, and validation costs are reduced giving a more efficient process. There is also reduced risk of cross contamination when the ChargeBageuro is used as a cost effective, single use container.
Maximise product yield
To maximise product yield during charging processes, the ChargeBag's flexible nature and high performance anti-static Polyethylene material allows easy manipulation of poorly flowing product or cohesive powders. A double ply, pressure tested liner ensures bag integrity is maintained during manual handling and manipulation. Clear materials of construction enable visual inspection to verify complete product charge / discharge.
Product Protection
Manufactured using FDA compliant materials within a class 10,000 Cleanroom, the bag is then individually sealed into an easy tear liner. No cutting tools, that could damage the ChargeBageuro , are required to open the package. ChargeBags are now gamma irradiated within the sealed liner providing a secure, sterile product.
The ChargeBageuro is an ideal solution for a variety of contained API powder transfer applications from weighing and dispensing to reactor / process vessel charging. A wide range of bag sizes form 2. to 6. tri-clamp connection and 2 litre to 40 litre capacities make for easy media, buffer, filter aid, tablet or capsule transfer throughout a full range of sterile and nonsterile pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
