High containment liquid handling with Dec DCS Liquid
Dec’s Drum Containment System (DCS) is not only available for contained powder handling but also provides a thoroughly engineered precision system for safe handling and high containment of highly sensitive or toxic liquids from drums.
DCS Liquid features glove box enclosure with fully contained suction lance for safe emptying of drums under complete isolation.
Applications
DCS Liquid equipment can be used for handling sensitive liquids in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
The system can be used for:
- Filling or emptying drums
- Application for liquids
- Suitable for operation in ATEX areas
- Handling of hazardous liquids under high containment
Design & Engineering
The DCS Liquid was specifically developed for toxic and corrosive liquids, achieving containment levels below 1 ppb.
The solution, combining glove box enclosure with the suction lance housed in a special venting tube with a sealing plug enables safe and contained emptying and filling of drums without need for full protective clothing or special venting booths.
The DCS Liquid can also be equipped with Load Cells for precision dosing. Drums can be partially emptied, eliminating the need for inefficient and time-consuming pre-dispensing.
The DCS Liquid is also particularly recommended for the handling of liquids with strong odors, which are contained and removed by an extraction system.
The DCS Liquid system is CIP compliant, allowing easy cleaning in situ.
Materials are chosen to be highly resistant to corrosive liquids if necessary.
