Mr. Roberto Trebbi, R&D and Technical Department Manager of IMA Active Division in Bologna, said: “Since we often work with potent compounds, we have the need to always assure safe equipment. For this we found in Nilfisk-CFM the perfect partner: with a Nilfisk-CFM double Bag In Bag Out AISI304 system, made of two H14 absolute filters in a series configuration, connected to our capsule filling machines, it’s been possible for us to deal with hazardous substances such as H-class products and at the same time to maintain the inside of our equipment clean. In particular, thanks to the two big absolute Bag In Bag Out filters (filter surface: 95’000 cm2each), the filter replacement operations are today simple, fast and intrinsically safe”.
