• Safe transport of toxic < 1μg/m3 or dust explosive powders < 1mJ
• Charges directly into closed vessels under vacuum or pressure
• Prevents dust creation
• Removes oxygen from powder before entering into the process
• Charges in the presence of solvents
• No product retention
• No particle damages
• Total containment
• Easy to clean – CIP system
• GMP compliant design, ATEX compliant
2.6 CHOICE OF PTS
PTS models (PTS 50 to PTS 400) are standard installations designed for industrial applications. Other
models are also available, depending on the problem to solve. Furthermore, it is also possible to
transfer almost continuously by using two PTS chambers which work alternately or to provide a
second input for an additional product.
The choice of the PTS size depends on the powder type, the transfer distance and the transfer
capacity to be reached. Depending on the application (e.g. transfer of corrosive products), the
PTS can be manufactured in various materials or with special anticorrosive coatings which are
resistant to chemicals (Hastelloy C22, glass-lined, Halar®, PVDF coating, etc.).
The material in which the PTS is to be manufactured must be specified by the
operator. The material and its resistance to corrosion will be defined by the nature
of the products to be transferred. It is the operator's responsibility to verify that the
system is compatible with the products to be transferred.
