Containment Solutions

Hosokawa Micron develops high-performance containment and isolation solutions for the safe handling of hazardous or sensitive materials. Each system is engineered to meet the highest industry standards, ensuring optimal control of operator exposure (OEL) while maintaining safety, compliance and process efficiency.

Integrated systems – including downflow booths, ultra-high containment isolators (to nanogram levels) and contained filling and weighing units – are designed for the most demanding environments. Every solution is tailored to the specific process to ensure protection, continuity and regulatory conformity without compromise.

Safety, up to the highest level

Hosokawa Micron delivers uncompromising protection and maximum process efficiency through advanced containment technologies. These innovative systems, developed by powder processing experts, achieve operator exposure levels as low as 0.01 μg/m³ (OEB Level 6). Each system is customised in close collaboration with the client and integrated into the production environment.

Processing Safety – OEB levels
