The docking and disconnection of containers has long been a particular
challenge from the point of view of containment. Toxic or highly active
substances require an extremely low level of contamination to the outside (-> Total Containment).
Glatt has developed complex Docking
Systems for this purpose.
The heart of the docking system for the most
stringent containment requirements is the patented Glatt SKS valve system.

Patented solution
The SKS valve system features a horizontally divided valve plate and a
housing divided into active and passive halves.
The non-driven, passive half of the valve with static seal is located on the
mobile element (container or drum) and the active half with the valve and
locking drive on the docking system from/to the process machine.
Docking devices specially developed for SKS valve systems guarantee the
required high precision of the docking and undocking processes.
SKS valves are available in the standard sizes DN 100, DN 200 and DN 250
complete with control system.
The valve can be equipped with an automatic cleaning system depending on the
product and the level of containment.

Principles Operation
|
| |
In the docked state, the valve opens and closes in the conventional
manner.
On decoupling, the valve and the valve plate separate from one
another. The surfaces which are then exposed are free from contamination.
