Why Choose the WIBObarrier® Containment System?
In pharmaceutical and chemical industries, operator safety and clean air containment are critical. The WIBObarrier® containment workstation ensures stable protection when handling active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and sensitive materials.
Typical applications include:
-
Filling and transferring powders or liquids
-
Weighing and sampling APIs and fine chemicals
-
Washing, cleaning, and refining processes
-
Operations requiring strict containment compliance
Innovative 3-Zone Clean Air Principle
The WIBObarrier® system uses an integrated outlet nozzle in the front hood to create a stable clean air curtain. This innovative 3-zone principle:
1. Separates the operator from the product.
2. Extracts airborne particles directly at the source.
3. Protects the surrounding environment from contamination.
Even particles generated outside the immediate work zone are drawn into the clean air barrier, ensuring operator protection and product integrity.
HEPA Filtration & Clean Air Compliance
The system continuously supplies HEPA-filtered clean air, preventing turbulence caused by operator movements.
-
Meets DIN EN ISO 14644-1 Class 5 cleanroom requirements
-
Reduces occupational exposure to hazardous substances
-
Provides stable containment during sensitive processes
