Powder Systems Ltd (PSL), Liverpool, UK, has delivered a series of contained filtration and drying systems to the new Bangalore oncology plant of leading Indian drug manufacturer Cipla.  The equipment supplied incorporates contained discharge to achieve a proven OEL (occupational exposure limit) of less than 1μg.m-³ during the sampling period.
The high-containment filtration and drying suite consists of four filter driers with integrated high-containment discharge isolators for assured operator and product protection. One of the small scale agitated Nutsche filter driers for Kilo Lab production is in PSL's revolutionary GFD® FilterBox. This stainless steel isolator comprises a glass filter drier, both designed and integrated by PSL. Cipla opted for a full high-containment scale-up solution to repeat its process while handling small to large quantities of highly potent compounds. www.powdersystems.com
