Containment Isolators
Rigid-Wall & Flexible Containment Isolators — DEC Group
Overview
DEC offers an extensive range of containment isolator technologies for handling potent compounds in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The portfolio spans rigid-wall stainless steel isolators validated to OEB 5/6 and flexible film systems for adaptable, lower-cost containment.
Rigid-wall isolators are purpose-built for high-potency applications — dispensing, charging, sampling, milling, and process discharge. Flexible film systems wrap around existing equipment without major facility modifications, offering mobile containment at <1 µg/m³.
Over 1,000 isolator installations worldwide. Manufacturing in Switzerland, Poland, UK, and the US.

Key Features
Rigid-Wall: OEB 5/6 Validated Performance
Purpose-built stainless steel isolators for the most potent compounds. Standard and custom single-chamber or multi-chamber glovebox configurations.
Flexible Film: Wrap-Around Containment
Flexible enclosures wrap around existing equipment — tablet presses, dispensing stations, micronizers — without major facility modifications.
Full CIP/SIP Capability
Rigid-wall systems support automated clean-in-place and sterilize-in-place for fast product changeover between potent compound campaigns.
Single-Use Options
Flexible systems include disposable glove bags and single-use enclosures for fast changeover with minimum validation effort.
Integrated Process Equipment
Isolators integrate with DEC mills, RTPs, continuous liners, and transfer systems to create fully contained process trains.
Custom Configurations
Both rigid and flexible systems are engineered to specific process requirements — from single-glove sampling isolators to multi-chamber production enclosures.
Applications
- API production containment (OEB 4–6)
- Dispensing, sampling, and weighing under containment
- Tablet press and capsule filler containment
- Process equipment discharge (filter dryers, tray dryers, reactors)
- Micronization with integrated DecJet mills
