Hicoflex

Wed, 12 Jul 2017 11:13:52 GMT

We work together with customers from the beginning to ensure, that they succeed.

With the Hicoflex® system, GEA ensures fully contained powder transfer during the charging and discharging of hazardous material. The Hicoflex® is attached to both a disposable containment bag, for material transport, and to a disposable containment adaptor that fits onto the inlet or outlet chute to allow product transfer.

HICOFLEX® DISPOSABLE CONTAINMENT SOLUTIONS

Wed, 12 Jul 2017 11:13:34 GMT

The Hicoflex® disposable containment system has been designed to provide a high containment docking solution between the product handling bag and the process. The system is simple, effective and provides a safe working environment for a minimal investment. Flexible and transparent disposable bags provide a number of benefits compared with solid containers for handling small quantities of material in a production or R&D facility.

Hicoflex® Hicobox

Wed, 12 Jul 2017 10:30:27 GMT

The Hicobox unit has been designed for applications in which the process environment operates at a lower working pressure than the surrounding area. In such situations, without a Hicobox in place, the flexible bags can collapse as a result of the negative differential pressure. This, in turn, prevents material (tablets) from flowing into the Hicoflex® Bag. The Hicobox completely encapsulates the Hicoflex® Adapter, Hicoflex® Bag and the Hicoflex® Pneumatic Opening Tool and is put under the same pressure as the process area. This eliminates the pressure differential and guarantees material flow.
