The majority of handling within the warehouse apart from whole pallet handling by fork lifts or automated systems is a transfer of individual packages from an outsourced (dirty) pallet to an in-house (clean) pallet. The PharmaVac vacuum lifter is over specified for the warehouse area unless used in an airlock between the dirty and clean areas. The standard PAL-U-Lift brand vacuum lifter is by far the most cost effective, simple, quick and efficient means of accomplishing this task in a user friendly manner. Sacks, boxes and drums can all be handled by a simple change of suction foot. Support gantry options range from full H Style™ rail systems to swing arm and articulating arms for use in space restricted areas. If a high level of containers or sacks with hazardous materials are being handled the PharmaVac becomes the recommended option due to its unique HEPA filtration system which protects personnel, the system and the plant room containing the vacuum pump from any potential contamination.

Palpharma can also offer the Biocom GHIBLI range of contamination control. Equipment to help with the transfer of both material and personnel between areas of different ISO classes.
