Tiger-Vac CWR-10 EX (CV)
Sealed stainless steel AISI 430 single-use canister with dual ULPA U15 filtration, ATEX II 3D certification and EMI/RFI shielding — engineered for the safe collection of highly potent compounds in pharma and cleanroom environments.
- Sealed single-use canister in AISI 430 — 12, 20 or 40 L — disposed of whole, no contact with contents
- 5-stage filtration with dual ULPA U15 — one for working air, one for cooling air
- ATEX II 3D — Zone 22 — first-party certified (EN 17348:2022)
- ISO Class 4 (ISO 14644-1) — OEB 4–5
- EMI/RFI shielded and ESD-safe — for electronics-sensitive production environments
- Filter blockage indicator and included static dissipative suction hose
A containment system without equal in pharma
The CWR-10 EX (CV) is Tiger-Vac’s answer to one of pharmaceutical manufacturing’s most fundamental challenges: how do you collect extremely potent compounds without ever coming into direct contact with the collected material? The solution is a closed containment system in which the collection canister itself — a single-use vessel in stainless steel AISI 430 — is disposed of whole when full. No bag change. No filter exchange. The canister is not emptied. It is discarded in its entirety.
This means the operator never touches the collected material at any point in the process — not during operation, not during canister replacement, and not during disposal. This is not merely a procedural advantage. It is a fundamental design decision that makes the CWR-10 EX (CV) one of the most effective containment tools in the pharmaceutical sector for OEB 4–5 compounds.
The containment system — how it works
From collection to disposal without contact
The airstream enters the sealed single-use canister, where the material is collected. The air then passes through a dual pre-filter stage and on to two separate ULPA U15 filters — one for the working air and one for the cooling air.
The critical point is that the material never leaves the canister. When the canister is full, it is sealed and disposed of whole.
Vacuum connected. Single-use canister mounted in the machine.
Material collected directly into the sealed single-use canister.
Filter blockage indicator activates as the canister approaches capacity.
Canister removed and disposed of whole — no bag change, no exposure.
Optional hose stand #216932A — contamination-free hose storage
Electropolished AISI 304 stand with hose hanger extension. Developed for Novartis. In pharmaceutical production, the floor is the most contaminated surface in the room — the stand ensures the suction hose never touches the floor and introduces particles to the product at the next point of use.
