Capsugel—Lonza, Morristown, NJ 862 242 1700 www.capsugel.com Contained screener protects operator, eases screen extraction DA Vario contained screener has a flexible liner with an integral glove that allows you to examine a screen without contacting product or allow- ing dust to escape. Liner also lets you replace the screen basket and dosing screw under containment. As you remove the drive unit lengthwise with the screen cylinder, the screener's extraction device supports and guides them into a tubular plastic film. You can then remove the old screen while it's inside the plastic liner and install the new screen while maintaining con- tainment. Dosing screw exchanges in a similar manner.
