Valve for the pharmaceutical industry BUCK®

butterflysplit butterfly

BUCK® valves were the first commercially available split valves on the market. Used for the contained transfer of active powders from one vessel to another in pharmaceutical production, BUCK® technology is the result of thousands of successful applications worldwide and more than 20 years of experience. Split butterfly valves ensure the protection of both people and products when charging and discharging highly potent APIs. The docking system comprises two half valves that are able to independently seal two different containers. A corresponding actuator ring is used to lock and activate the two half valves, which then allows contained powder transfer. Undocked and Closed When undocked and closed, the half valves prevent any product from leaving the container to contaminate the surrounding environment. Docked and Closed When docked and closed, the half valves are sealed and connected. Docked and Open Both half valves now operate as a single butterfly valve and product can be discharged in a fully contained way.
