Nuclear

In civil nuclear environments, the safe handling of radioactive and sensitive materials is non-negotiable. Hosokawa Micron designs and supplies advanced containment solutions that protect both operators and the environment during the handling, transfer, and processing of nuclear materials.

Our Nuclear Downflow Booths deliver controlled, low-turbulence airflow environments that actively capture airborne particulates at source. With integrated HEPA filtration, these booths are ideal for tasks such as manual sampling, weighing, or repackaging of radioactive powders—ensuring operator safety while maintaining material integrity.

When precise, enclosed handling is required, our Nuclear Gloveboxes offer fully sealed negative-pressure environments with built-in glove ports, vision panels, and contamination monitoring systems. These bespoke enclosures support safe, hands-on interaction with radioactive materials while preventing any release to the surrounding workspace.

For secure container handling, our Nuclear Drum Tipping & Filling Stations allow for dust-tight charging and discharging of active materials. Each system is designed with containment and decontamination in mind, offering fully integrated filtration, glove ports, and ergonomic operation to minimise exposure risks.
Our Nuclear Fume Cupboards provide further flexibility, offering ventilated, shielded workspaces for lab-scale processes or low-volume operations involving volatile compounds or powders.

Built to meet strict industry standards, all Hosokawa containment systems are engineered with long-term durability, cleanability, and performance in mind. From nuclear fuel cycle operations to waste handling and R&D, our civil nuclear containment technologies support compliant, efficient, and ultra-safe processes.

Defence-related nuclear operations demand the highest levels of safety, control, and regulatory compliance. At Hosokawa Micron, we develop specialist containment systems designed to protect operators and environments during the handling and processing of sensitive or radioactive materials in defence settings.

Our Nuclear Downflow Booths offer a clean-air workspace with HEPA-filtered vertical airflow, capturing airborne particles at the source and reducing the risk of contamination. These booths are ideal for manual tasks such as inspection, sampling, and small-scale material transfer, ensuring operator protection without compromising visibility or flexibility.

Where full physical separation is essential, our Nuclear Gloveboxes provide a completely sealed, negative-pressure environment for high-hazard material handling. Designed to customer specifications, each glovebox includes ergonomically placed glove ports, viewing windows, and integrated filtration—supporting safe, hands-on manipulation of active substances in secure, enclosed conditions.

To support safe transfer and packaging of radioactive materials, our Nuclear Drum Tipping & Filling Stations deliver dust-tight material flow with engineered containment features such as glove access, automated tipping mechanisms, and built-in extraction systems.
We also offer Nuclear Fume Cupboards for ventilated, shielded workspace requirements, particularly in R&D or low-volume operations involving volatile compounds or fine powders.

With decades of experience in high-containment technologies, Hosokawa Micron’s defence solutions are engineered for operational resilience, cleanability, and integration into secure facilities. From nuclear weapons programme support to research and decommissioning tasks, we help defence customers achieve safe, reliable, and compliant material management.

In nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy, the need for ultra-clean, high-containment environments is critical. Handling radioactive isotopes for diagnostic or therapeutic use requires equipment that ensures operator protection, prevents cross-contamination, and maintains the integrity of highly sensitive materials. At Hosokawa Micron, we provide specialist containment systems tailored to meet the exacting standards of radiopharmaceutical production and handling.

Our Nuclear Downflow Booths are designed to safeguard operators during manual processes such as sampling, weighing, or formulation. With vertical HEPA-filtered airflow and low-turbulence conditions, these booths maintain a clean working environment while effectively capturing radioactive particulates at source.

For fully enclosed, aseptic handling, our Nuclear Gloveboxes deliver a high-integrity, negative-pressure environment that allows safe manipulation of radioactive compounds through sealed glove ports. Each glovebox can be customised with integrated monitoring, lead shielding, and isolator-grade finishes to meet GMP and radiological protection standards.

To ensure secure and compliant material transfer, our Nuclear Drum Tipping & Filling Systems allow dust-tight handling of radiopharmaceutical powders and intermediates. These systems are designed to support ergonomic operation, efficient decontamination, and minimal operator exposure.
Additionally, our Nuclear Fume Cupboards provide ventilated, shielded enclosures for tasks requiring open access under controlled conditions—ideal for lab-scale radiochemistry or QC processes.

Hosokawa Micron’s radiopharmacy solutions combine containment expertise with pharmaceutical-grade design to support cleanroom integration, regulatory compliance, and patient safety. From research to production, we help facilities meet the rigorous demands of modern nuclear medicine.
