Nuclear Drum Tipping & Filling
Nuclear Drum Tipping & Filling
Hosokawa Micron’s Drum Tipping & Filling Systems provide tailored, high-performance solutions for the safe and efficient handling, tipping, and filling of bulk powders, granules, and liquids. Engineered to reduce manual handling and maximise operator safety, these bespoke systems integrate seamlessly with our advanced containment and processing equipment.
Specifically developed for nuclear-grade applications, these systems offer full operator protection, dust-free operation, and compliance with the most rigorous environmental and health & safety standards. They are compatible with glovebox systems, fume cupboards, and other containment systems, making them ideal for the controlled handling of radioactive or hazardous materials.
Built to comply with COSHH, ATEX, and cGMP standards, our drum handling solutions are robust, intuitive to operate, and adaptable across a wide range of nuclear and high-containment industries. The latest models are designed with fully electric drive systems, eliminating risk from leaking hydraulic fluid or gas.
Applicable Industries:
Nuclear
Ideal for encapsulating and transferring legacy waste, powders, and slurries in shielded or remotely operated configurations.
Pharmaceutical
Facilitates the safe transfer of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine powders in sterile environments while minimising product loss and exposure risk.
Chemical
Supports high-containment drum unloading and refilling of bulk solids or liquids under inert gas, explosion-proof, or toxic containment setups.
Product Information
Hosokawa’s nuclear drum tipping and filling units are modular, fully customisable, and specifically designed for the safe handling of radioactive and hazardous powders. These systems can be seamlessly integrated into gloveboxes, fume cupboards, or downflow booths and configured alongside weighing systems, conveyors, and containment isolators to create a fully enclosed, contamination-controlled process. Designed with operator safety and ergonomic use in mind, they reduce manual handling risks and improve process efficiency in high-containment environments.
Each system is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of nuclear applications, including ATEX compliance where required, and can incorporate features such as integrated dust extraction, safe-change filtration, and automated filling controls for precise material handling. Options include enclosed drum docking stations, split butterfly valves, and fully automated or semi-automated operation. With flexible configurations to suit existing workflows and space constraints, Hosokawa’s drum tipping and filling solutions provide long-term reliability and peace of mind in critical containment processes.
