About IPC Bin - Intermediate Process Container
IPC BIN - INTERMEDIATE PROCESS CONTAINERStorage and Dust free transfer ProcessApplication & Process :Bin (IPC) is a container made from SS 316 sheets having cylindrical Body and taper bottom. A lid is provided on top. The lid is big so that complete washing the IPC is easy. The Bin is seated on a detachable stand or fixed leg made of SS 304 pipe stand, having forelegs and each leg is fitted with heavy duty castor wheel of special design with ball bearing and SS side frame (2 nos. fixed and 2 Nos swiveling).Bin (IPC) are used for handling, storing, transporting and mixing of pharmaceutical powders and granules before, between and after various processes. They are designed and manufactured to be handled through their own trolley and offer the advantage to leave the trolley at floor when the container is raised up to be positioned onto process machines like tablet presses, sachet filling machines etc.The IPC Bin loader is use for transfer the material dust free and without human touch in pharmaceutical industries for Load powder in to RMG bowl, Load powder in to hopper of tablet press, Load tablet in to hopper of blister pack & Coating Machine and online sifting and milling.The IPC Bin Loader consists of a main frame, Bin fixing arm, Hydraulic lifting device and pivot base. This main frame move 360 degree on axis and Bin fixing arm move upward and downward in the frame by hydraulic cylinder and power pack system. The moveable container/Bin bringing placed beneath the fixing arm, operate the hydraulic drive system which lifts arm with the container and it raises the container till it gets stops exactly in a position and then it could be unload by opening of butterfly on the what ever machine.Salient Features :

FAQ's of IPC Bin - Intermediate Process Container:
Q: How does the IPC Bin support safe and hygienic handling in processing industries?
A: The IPC Bin is built with crevice-free, mirror/matt finished stainless steel and fitted with silicone gaskets for airtight sealing. It features lifting handles and robust castor wheels for safe handling and movement, supporting strict hygiene protocols in pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing environments.
Q: What is the cleaning process for the IPC Bin?
A: The IPC Bin is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. It is compatible with both Clean-In-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-In-Place (SIP) procedures, ensuring thorough cleaning and sterilization without needing to disassemble components, which saves time and maintains product quality.
Q: When should I choose a mirror polish versus a matt finish surface for the IPC Bin?
A: A mirror polish surface is ideal for processes demanding minimal product retention and the highest hygiene, as it provides smoother surfaces for quicker and more efficient cleaning. Matt finish is suitable when glare reduction or cost efficiency is a priority without compromising on cleanliness.
Q: Where can IPC Bins be used in manufacturing processes?
A: IPC Bins are suited for intermediate storage, transfer, and discharge of granules, powders, and bulk products. They are widely utilized in pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing industries for handling products between different stages of the manufacturing process, ensuring controlled, clean transfer.
Q: What benefits do the butterfly valve and manual discharge options provide?
A: The butterfly valve enables precise and controlled discharge of materials, minimizing spillage and dust generation. Manual discharge options are available for simpler operations, catering to different process requirements and operator preferences.
Q: How customizable are IPC Bins in terms of size and configuration?
A: IPC Bins can be tailored according to required capacity, typically ranging from 10L to 500L. Additional customization is available for shape, lid type, discharge mechanism, and dimensions, ensuring optimal integration into existing production lines.
Q: What advantages does stainless steel construction offer in IPC Bins?
A: Using SS 316 for product contact parts ensures high corrosion resistance, durability, and compliance with GMP standards. SS 304 or powder-coated mild steel for non-contact areas adds strength and economy, enhancing the bin's longevity and safety in demanding process environments.
