NRC Gyro

System Description

The NRC Gyro is a retrofit kit to your existing RTP canister system. The NRC Gyro features a ball bearing system that permits rotation of the canister body while your contents remain on the “floating” horizontal shelf. The NRC Gyro is designed to be retrofit to any industry standard RTP canisters.

Features

• Installation requires no modifications to the canister itself, the kit clamps onto the internal diameter of the RTP canister using four plastic clamping pads located 90 degrees apart
• The primary rotating member of the Gyro kit is DDP’s proven ball bearings system
• Two rollers attached to the underside of the tray support its front end, near the beta flange
• The tray can take on a variety of geometries and materials as required by the application.
• Available with a shuttle configuration whereas the tray will slide partially out of the canister when pulled out by the operator.
• Materials used are VHP and Steam sterilization compatible

Advantages & Applications

NRC Gyro Canister Advantages

The NRC Gyro facilitates applications that are difficult to implement with the standard RTP canister docking process requiring beta flange rotation relative to the alpha flange

• The shuttle and tray hardware permit the safe transfer of heavy or delicate parts into and out of isolator system.
• Customization of the canister body geometry and internal tray to the application.

NRC Canister Advantages

• Production materials introduction: API, Stoppers
• Sterile part introduction during machine set up
• Sterile components introduction and removal during the production campaign
• Production Support Supplies: Micro supplies, cleaning supplies, tools.
• Product transfers into/out of the isolator chamber
