TKS containment valve system

TKS containment valve – high-performance split butterfly valve for critical transfer points

The TKS containment valve is a key element of Glatt’s total containment concept and has been specifically developed to ensure contamination‑free product transfer at critical interfaces in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

As a high‑performance split butterfly valve, the TKS enables safe, closed material handling during charging, discharge and transfer between vessels, IBCs and process equipment.

Its patented design with two identical static seals creates a fully enclosed interface during docking and undocking operations. This allows highly potent or sensitive substances to be transferred without direct exposure, while reliably maintaining extremely low emission levels throughout repeated operating cycles.

Key benefits of the Glatt TKS split butterfly valve include:

Excellent containment performance for applications up to high OEB levels
Reliable protection of operators, product, and the environment
Reduced cleanroom requirements, lower capital and operating costs
Fault-free and robust design
Easy cleaning and maintenance, including WIP/CIP
Flexible integration into manual or fully automated processes

The TKS split butterfly valve has proven itself in long-term operation at leading pharmaceutical manufacturers worldwide and combines maximum safety with operational efficiency and a life-cycle-oriented design.

Special Features of the TKS split butterfly valve

Dual static‑seal split butterfly valve design

Two identical static seals on the active and passive valve halves create a fully closed transfer interface during docking and undocking.

Single‑piece valve shaft for reliable operation

The robust, one‑piece shaft design minimizes mechanical complexity and ensures stable, fault‑free performance over the entire lifecycle.

Tool‑free maintenance with WIP/CIP capability

The containment valve is designed for easy disassembly and efficient cleaning, supporting validated WIP and CIP processes with minimal downtime.

Proven in long‑term operation at leading pharmaceutical manufacturing sites worldwide and as part of an integrated containment strategy, the TKS containment valve combines maximum safety with operational efficiency.
