Flecotec: Single-Use Aseptic Packaging & Containment Systems

The manufacture of pharmaceuticals in powder or tablet form often involves handling toxic or highly sensitive solids that can pose a direct threat to people’s safety. Cross-contamination with other raw materials and active ingredients likewise has to be ruled out at all times. To deal with these and many other challenges related to decanting and filling highly sensitive bulk goods, Rommelag developed the Flecotec system – a brilliant containment concept that can be ideally adapted to existing processes, requires no new certification, and reduces the subsequent cleaning work to a minimum.

One Material Transfer System, Endless Possibilities

 

With the Flecotec system, Rommelag has developed an ingenious system that reliably protects workers and the product from contamination, while also allowing protective clothing to be done away with in many work areas. Your processes are simply, securely, and reliably packed. The system also offers impressive cost-effectiveness from start to finish (of the production line), because it’s hard to find a quicker way to achieve contamination-free material transfer than with the Flecotec system. The system is primarily used in laboratories and clean rooms, for example for weighing in the isolator, for filling and decanting finished tablets, and for transferring powders and other solids. As all the sampling, filling, and decanting processes are merely packed when the Flecotec system is used as a secondary interface, all system and process certification remains fully intact. There are absolutely no costs or expenses incurred for new or additional inspections.

NOTE: PRODUCT ILLUSTRATIONS MAY DIFFER FROM THE CURRENT PRODUCT RANGE.

Aseptic Processing Made Simple

It takes only a few components – in standard sizes or tailored to your needs – to securely pack all the filling, decanting, and weighing processes.

Slider

Slider

Connects Flecozip components almost inseparably. After the filling or decanting process has been completed, it safely seals the open containments and separates them from one another.

Flecotric

Flecotric

The flexible containment tri-clamp enables the simple and secure connection of processing units and Flecozip adapters. In many cases, stainless steel pipe connections are made superfluous, as are elaborate cleaning processes.

Flecozip-Bag

Flecozip-Bag

Ideal for use in laboratories and clean rooms. The material meets all the requirements for pharmaceutical primary packaging. Available in sizes from a few milliliters up to 100 liters.

Flecobox

Flecobox

The individually prefabricated container with secondary containment and integrated gloves meets all the requirements of containment level OEB 5 for highly toxic products.

Flecofilm

Specially developed for applications in the pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, food, and cosmetics industries. You can find more information on Flecofilm here.

Exemplary for Pharmaceutical Containment

 

The Flecotec system can be adapted to many process interfaces and offers reliable protection from cross-contamination and direct contact with people. As a single-use containment, the entire system is simply disposed of once it has been successfully put to use, keeping costly cleaning and sterilization work down to a minimum.

Applications for the Flecotec Containment System

Preparation

Preparation

Incoming drums of raw materials are prepared for safe and contamination-free further processing or storage in next to no time thanks to Flecozip liner bags.

Sampling and weighing

Sampling and weighing

The prepared drums are docked to the Flecobox using a Flecozip closure. The primary packaging can be safely opened for sampling and weighing using the glove ports.

In-line sampling

In-line sampling

To take a sample directly from a processing unit, a Flecozip adapter is attached to the outlet flange. This adapter remains attached at the sampling point for the entire campaign.

Emptying a bag

Emptying a bag

Part of the Flecotec system is an innovative emptying procedure, Flecotec MTS (Material Transfer System), where Flecotec closures are used as a secondary interface, as in bag filling.

Filling a bag

Filling a bag

Perfect for swift and secure connections – the Flecozip bags with various connection components allow for fast material transfer.

Filling tablet bags

Filling tablet bags

The Flecotec system also includes specially developed bags and fasteners for the filling of tablets.
