Weighing and refilling workplace with the 3-zone principle

Sampling, refilling, filling, weighing, harvesting or refining – daily chores in the pharmaceutical industry, genetic engineering and biotechnology, and the cosmetic, foodstuff and chemical industries. This work very often involves health-damaging substances which must be handled in accordance with strict guidelines.

For these cases, the Weiss GWE weighing and refilling workplace can be used. The workplace with the patented WIBObarrier vertical plus air guiding system works on the 3-zone principle. A twin clean air curtain separates the product area from other ambient areas. The air supply is also introduced as laminar air to the object area behind the clean air curtain via an integrated H14 suspended matter filter. This area should be considered as a clean room zone conforming with ISO class 5. Contaminated air is conveyed to the front exhaust system. This protects both the product against contamination and personnel and the remaining room against dangerous emissions.

Legal requirements governing the handling of substances (standard technical concentration and maximum workplace concentration) are more than met, thanks to efficient contaminant capture. Protective factors >100,000 have already been achieved.

The low flow speeds generated by the special WIBObarrier clean air curtain practically rule out removal of product material when dealing with fine powders, the influencing of weighing results (e.g. with micro-scales) or draughts.

WIBObarrier clean room workplaces function as autarkic units with circulating air totally independent of on-site ventilation. Alternatively, they can also be connected to the on-site exhaust air system.

Weiss GWE GmbH in Hude is one of the leading specialists in the provision of contaminant capture and exhaust units. The company has gained an important reputation in the last 20 years in clean room technology. Weiss GWE is a member of the internationally-active Schunk Group.
