Containment & Isolation
Containment and isolation help control operator exposure and limit the release of hazardous or sensitive powders during handling and processing. The appropriate solution depends on the material hazards, required containment performance, process conditions and operations to be carried out.
Hosokawa offers solutions including downflow booths, isolators, gloveboxes and contained filling and weighing systems. These can be configured for individual handling operations or integrated into complete powder processing systems.
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.
Downflow booths
Hosokawa Micron’s downflow booths provide a safe working environment for handling hazardous or sensitive substances. With controlled airflow and efficient filtration, they reduce operator exposure and protect product integrity. Ideal for handling fine powders and active materials.
