DOCKSAFE™ Multi-Connection System
The flexible multi- purpose plug + play connection system.
Providing future flexibility of your Containment Isolators.
Patented DOCKSAFE™ system
To design for today and tomorrow, Howorth have developed the revolutionary and patented DockSafe™ multi-connection system. This enables flexibility and interchangeability for stand alone isolators to change their input/exit transfer methods and to ‘dock’ onto other systems including, but not limited to, other isolators, kilo-labs, hoods and fume cupboards.
The DockSafe™ system allows an isolator to be multi-functional and future proof providing significant benefits to the manufacturing of APIs and HPAPIs particularly where a quick response to market is required.
The DockSafe™ plug-in end caps allow the isolator interface to have multifunctional ends such as RTP and Pass-Through Hatches and allows different isolators to be connected together. If in the future the isolator needs a different set-up to accommodate a different process or separate piece of equipment, then a bespoke end piece can be designed and manufactured.
DOCKSAFE™ Seamless Seal
When a DockSafe™ end cap is docked, the inflatable seal provides a seamless smooth transfer. The easily cleaned inflatable seal is the primary seal for the system, and there is also a back-up mechanical o-ring seal.
DOCKSAFE™ Set-Up
The set-up of DockSafe™ is configured by the isolator PLC System and is accessed by the HMI on the isolator with administration or engineering rights. Once in the set-up section the operator or technician can select the predetermined end cap options that can be configured to the DockSafe™ System.
