Frequently Asked Questions on Containment & Single-Use Solutions

The choice of the appropriate ventilation system depends on the requirements of the specific containment process. For applications that prioritize reliable pressure maintenance and reduced technical complexity, the Eco ventilation unit is the ideal choice. If functions such as inerting, advanced monitoring, negative and positive pressure operation, or an ATEX-certified version are required, the Premium ventilation unit is the more comprehensive solution. Lugaia supports you in selecting and designing the appropriate ventilation technology for your flexible isolator system.

Yes. The Premium ventilation unit features an inerting mode with oxygen measurement. This provides a function for applications that require controlled inerting. The Eco ventilation unit does not include an inerting function.

The Eco Ventilation Unit is a cost-effective solution for applications where reliable pressure maintenance with minimal technical effort is a priority. The Premium ventilation unit offers additional features for more demanding containment processes, including negative and positive pressure operation, inerting with oxygen measurement, expanded monitoring, and an optional ATEX-certified version for Zone 2/22.

The system enables fast and easy single-use docking via a 4-inch connection. Thanks to the constant system height, the unobstructed diameter without a split valve, and unlimited docking cycles, the docking process requires only a few operating steps.

The SafePort Evo reduces the number of process steps, simplifies handling, and minimizes the risk of operator errors. The seamless product flow without a flap enables product transfer without product loss and ensures a high level of process safety.

The SafeSeal DuoPro is ideal for processes that require fast, safe, and repetitive sealing, such as in containment liner operations or frequent product changeovers. Its 2-in-1 design makes the workflow more efficient and ergonomic.

The duration depends on the scope of the project—simple systems can be delivered in a few weeks, while complex isolator projects require several months. We support you every step of the way, from design to qualification.

Yes. Our containment solutions are modular in design and can be integrated into existing processes or machines—from mobile containment solutions and transfer systems to customer-specific isolators.

Because they do not require cleaning validation, prevent cross-contamination, and enable quick product changes.

Yes, Lugaia was awarded the bronze medal by EcoVadis in 2024. Find out more here.

An antistatic LDPE with FDA approval or a pure LDPE with FDA EP and USP approval is used as standard. Foil material with conductive properties or customized foils are also available.

Yes, Liner Carrier systems with various interfaces are possible as well as Liner Carrier systems with RTP Beta ports.

The smallest Continuous Liner has a diameter of 190mm with increasing gradations up to a diameter of 700mm. As a rule of thumb, the size of the Continuous Liner is adapted to the container (drum).

Radiation sterilization is possible on customer request.

Production of active ingredients in powder form (API’s, HPAPI’s).

Batch-related manufacturer certificate, declaration of conformity, special certificates on request

Isolator: Additional technical documentation and operating instructions.

Yes, can be used for sizes S, M, and L.

No, the Crimps are powder-tight according to Containment Level OEB5.

Yes, the pneumatic tool is operated pneumatically and is suitable for ATEX.

Because each Isolator is customized to meet individual needs and requirements, there are no standard sizes. If you are interested, we look forward to discussing your dimensions and details in order to design your best containment solution.

Most often with containment level OEB5. Higher containment levels are possible with double-barrier systems.

Yes, in combination with the Lugaia ventilation technology, the Isolator can be operated in negative pressure or optionally in positive pressure.

Yes, in combination with the Lugaia Continuous Liners, locks can be closed in both directions.

Yes, the SafePort connection system is used optionally with TriClamp or O-ring connections for high containment applications.

For manual handling, volumes of 5-40 liters are available as standard. Special sizes possible on request.

A maximum of 20 bags can be connected.

Yes, both versions are still available.

Custom lengths up to 900mm available.

A standard cable tie tool can be used here.

Typ90 is made of standard tool steel and the handles are made of plastic. Toolset Premium is completely stainless steel with handles made of anodized aluminum. Due to its corrosion resistance, the Premium Toolset is also ideally suited for cleaning and washing processes in the Isolator.

No, the opener is available as a separate accessory.
