Telstar designs silent modular weighing booths

Published: 14-Jul-2010

Available for self-assembly and offers shorter delivery times

The Telstar Group in Spain has developed a new concept in the construction of weighing and sampling downflow booths. It is based on modular structures, which can be configured in different sizes (from 1–20m in length) offer shorter delivery times and easier assembly.

The booths are either self-assembled or fully integrated into the architecture of the user’s facility. A range of options and accessories enables the equipment to be tailored to meet the specific requirements and processes of the pharmaceutical industry.

The design has been modelled by simulating the behaviour of air using fluid simulation software (CFD), which enables the precise position of the soundproofing cells to be determined to achieve a sound level reduction to below 64dBA.

The modules are assembled directly from detailed instructions and do not require specialist skills or tooling. Telstar also has a service network, which can assemble this equipment in any part of the world if this is inconvenient.

The modular booths offer versatility for processes where powders are being handled or dust is likely, such as sampling, fractioning and weighing, manufacture of tablets and capsules and packaging of antibiotics, hormones and cytostatics, the company says.

The booths provide protection for the user/surrounding area at operator exposure levels (OEL) of between 10 and 100µg/m3 in the working area, and create a sterile unidirectional flow area (Class ISO 5 – ISO 14644-1) to protect the product against potential local contaminants and possible cross-contamination with other products or processes.
