Russell Compact Sieve is a highly contained isolator, providing full coverage for operators.

Powder Systems Limited (PSL) hold a wealth of experience engineering containment processes and supplying high-quality customised process equipment to the worldwide pharmaceutical, chemical and laboratory industries. When a leading pharmaceutical producer sought a customised pharmaceutical screener, PSL combined its expertise with Russell Finex, global leaders in separation technology, to provide a customised solution.

A contained screening solution was required to enable the customer to manufacture potent compounds to CGMP standards. PSL combined its own high containment isolator with the Russell Compact Sieve, providing a unique, safe, usable solution to safely sieve hazardous material, capable of processing compounds with an occupational exposure limit of less than 1.0μg / m3.

PSL’s isolator has a half-body suit which allows unrestricted access to the interior of the chamber, whilst ensuring the operator remains safely clear of direct contact with the product.

Due to its compact design, the Russell Compact Sieve® was the smart choice for installation inside the isolator. This pharmaceutical screener provides accurate, high capacity screening at less than half the size of traditional industrial sieves, accurately removing all contamination. A customised version is now available, with the sieve motor outside of the isolator due to risk of explosion. It is instead inside a control cabinet with a plate separating it from the sieve.

Russell Finex, a global leader in industrial sieving and filtration technology, has been supplying clean and hygienic products to the pharmaceutical industry for 85 years.
