Process Description:
This isolator allows for the entry of presterilized stoppers and caps through a Rapid Transfer Port (RTP). Powder is also presented into the Isolator via the RTP. Glassware is transferred to the isolator in separate transfer isolators. The Transfer Isolator docks to the filling isolator via a RTP and the trays of glassware are manually positioned on the accumulator of the filling machines . The vials are automatically moved by the filling machines through the filling, stoppering and capping stations and exit through a mouse hole in the end wall of the isolator. A conveyor carries the vials from the Isolator under an external
unidirectional airflow module and into the adjoining packaging room.
