Big bag emptying and filling stations
Virtually dust-free handling of highly active powders
In the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, where even the smallest contamination can have serious consequences, handling sensitive active substances safely is essential. Particularly critical is the handling of highly active or toxic substances such as cytostatics, narcotics or highly potent API powders (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients).
Our big bag stations combine GMP-compliant construction with a sophisticated sealing system. These modern Swiss containment systems reduce dust emissions for a clean production process up to the highest hazard class, OEB level 6. The result: less cleaning effort, less waste and more stable batch results over the long term. Below you can find out more about the RUBITEC containment solutions for big bags.


„All in the bag?“ – filling and emptying stations for big bags
As the name suggests, a big bag station is used for the safe transfer of powdered substances into or out of “big bags”. These are large-volume bulk containers made of flexible fabric, used above all for transporting and storing powders and granulates. To fill or empty them under control, the stations use the closed “SmartDock” system. This prevents fine particles from escaping into the surroundings – a central prerequisite for protecting both employees and product.
Containment big bag stations are used wherever high demands are placed on cleanliness, safety and process control, for example in the pharmaceutical, chemical or food industry. Depending on the application, they can also be adapted to specific operating conditions, such as use in hazardous (explosive) zones.
Big bag stations: virtually dust-free and very easy to handle
Our big bag emptying and filling stations were designed specifically for production areas where safety, cleanliness and efficiency come first. Innovative engineering, high flexibility and a clear focus on safety and ease of operation: containment big bag stations from rubitec ag deliver on many fronts:
- Low-dust working: Carefully considered sealing technology ensures that virtually no particles escape into the surroundings during filling and emptying.
- Safe connection: Our innovative SmartDock Advanced system connects the big bag quickly and precisely. In under 2 minutes.
- Individual adaptation: Different big bag sizes and practical additional functions such as vibration aids or level indicators can be integrated without difficulty. Every system also features WIP and CIP with the liquid-pressure extending nozzle that rubitec ag developed itself.
- Industry-appropriate design: Industry-appropriate design: GMP and ATEX compliance
- Easy to operate & safe: Carefully considered sealing technology ensures reliable processes together with a high level of operating comfort.
Where required, our big bag stations can also be combined with further components, for example a sieve mill for downstream processing or dosing, a press for thorough emptying, or a lifting, tipping and swivel column for ergonomic container handling.
