Complete containment solutions based around an innovative range of Downflow

Containment Booths bring different features and benefits to your application. But all
have one thing in common: they provide a Guaranteed Working Environment.

When you need to provide a clean, contained

environment for the safe handling of powders in
dispensing, weighing, sampling, or subdivision
operations, our PharmAir booths are a highly
effective option.

As a provider of total containment

Providing a suitable cGMP environment for operators to perform either sampling or dispensing tasks in a safe
and comfortable atmosphere, Extract Technology facilities are high class state of art pieces of equipment.
Complete with material and personnel airlocks and a downflow booth, the facility operates with a positive
pressure to aid in achieving a clean cGMP environment.

Though made to order, facilities are usually designed around our standard downflow CUSTOM
booth sizes which can be suitably selected to accommodate the client’s process.
Facilities can be designed to house any operations from small scale sampling to design to
large material handling processes - operational aids such as post hoists, conveyor suit process
lines, workbenches etc. can be integrated into the equipment.

X-FLOW BOOTHS
A unique design of crossflow or “side to side”
airflow, removing any airborne particulate away from the
operators breathing zone. Air is introduced from one of the
side plenums at a constant velocity and is then exhausted
at the opposite side, passing through fine dust and Hepa
filters before being recirculated back into the booth.
SPECIAL FEATURES
The presence of the operators’ arms does not interfere with
the airflow, thus enhancing the containment levels
achievable to between 1-20μg/m3.
Containment Booths Facilities Containment Isolators Pack Off Systems

Extract Technology Rigid Containment Isolators have been designed for handling potent compounds
that can offer guaranteed levels of operator protection as low as 10ng/m3 (task duration).

These include designs for sampling, dispensing and sub-division, mixing, milling and vessel charging,
as well as containing integrated process devices such as filter dryer units, tablet press enclosures,
blenders, mills and pack off systems.

Whatever else you look for in a high containment solution, you will want it to be proven, tested and
guaranteed. Extract Technology’s Isolator solutions deliver all these things and more.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Containment
Levels The Isolator is designed to not only provide a physical barrier
down to between the operator and the product but to also provide a
controlled environment, negatively pressurised with an
10ng/m3
atmospheric condition or a reduced oxygen
content using an inert gas.
To maximize both operator and equipment interfaces 3D
modelling and full scale mock–ups are used extensively to
Design facilitate the best understanding possible of the
model in pharmaceutical process and the operators involvement
whilst ensuring high levels of containment are achieved.
