Flecotec ZIP Containment System

At the heart of our containment solutions is the patented Flecotec ZIP system, featuring an advanced zipper mechanism. This system ensures exceptional flexibility, seamlessly adapting to any interface size. It allows us to offer comprehensive containment for entire API and pharmaceutical production processes exclusively with our ZIP products. Our solution fully complies with the stringent OEB 5 containment level standards.

Flecotec ZIP products are made from pharmaceutical-grade film produced in-house, meeting all necessary regulations.

1 Docking

A slider securely connects our ZIP components using an innovative zipper mechanism.

2 Opening and connecting

The zipper mechanism can only be pulled apart and the components connected when two ZIP components are properly coupled, allowing solids to be transferred under fully closed conditions.

3 Closing and undocking

To undock, simply pull back the slider. Both ZIP components will automatically seal, ensuring a safe and error-free process.

Up to OEB 5 for Every Interface Size

From two inches to drum size, our ZIP products flexibly adapt to your existing processes, elevating them to the OEB 5 containment level.

No Revalidation Necessary

As a secondary containment system, our solution typically does not require revalidation since it does not alter your existing processes.

No Ring of Concern

The free cross-section design of our products eliminates the "ring of concern."

Low Training Costs

Staff training requirements are minimized because only one technology needs to be mastered, resulting in quicker familiarization and reduced training costs.

Sustainable

Our products provide a sustainable solution with an overall eco-balance better than that of comparable stainless steel containment solutions, as there is no need for cleaning and sterilization.

Cost Efficient

Our single-use containment system is significantly more cost-efficient because it eliminates the need for costly cleaning or sterilization.
