How Shanghai Youwei’s Powder Conveying Solutions Enhance Vivarium Research
Vivarium research is a vital field that involves the study of living organisms in controlled environments, such as laboratory animals. Vivarium research requires high standards of care and safety for both the animals and the researchers, as well as efficient and reliable material handling equipment.
Shanghai Youwei is a leading provider of powder conveying solutions that are specially designed for vivarium research applications. Shanghai Youwei’s powder conveying solutions include waste bedding systems, clean bedding dispensing systems, and other material handling equipment that offer the following benefits:
- Clog-free handling of various bedding types: Shanghai Youwei’s waste bedding systems can handle all types of bedding materials, such as wood shavings, paper, corn cob, and cellulose, without clogging or jamming. This ensures smooth and continuous operation and reduces maintenance costs and downtime.
- Flexibility in moving small items without damage: Shanghai Youwei’s powder conveying solutions use mechanical operation that is flexible enough to move gloves, cage tags, and enrichment items without causing damage or loss. This prevents contamination and ensures accurate tracking and identification of the animals and their cages.
- Sealed systems for odor and noise control: Shanghai Youwei’s powder conveying solutions are sealed to transport material from cage dump to outside containers, effectively controlling odor and noise levels. This is essential for maintaining a high-quality research environment that is comfortable and healthy for both the animals and the researchers.
- Support for LAA exposure prevention: Shanghai Youwei’s powder conveying solutions support facility LAA (Laboratory Animal Allergen) exposure prevention programs by minimizing the spread of allergens. LAA exposure can cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems for the researchers and staff, affecting their health and productivity. Shanghai Youwei’s powder conveying solutions reduce the risk of LAA exposure by containing and transporting the material in a sealed system.
- Compact designs suitable for limited spaces: Shanghai Youwei’s powder conveying solutions are space-efficient, designed to fit in small areas without compromising functionality. The integral cage dump station is ergonomically friendly, reducing strain on personnel while feeding into a cage washer for easy cleaning. The powder conveying solutions can also be easily installed and shipped with a two-piece frame or a low-profile frame, depending on the available space and preference.
- Ergonomic features for ease of use: Shanghai Youwei’s powder conveying solutions are user-friendly, featuring simple installation and operation. The powder conveying solutions ensure seamless discharge of material, and have modular components that are easily adaptable to a variety of materials to suit the requirements of different vivarium research projects. The powder conveying solutions are also available in stainless steel or carbon steel with a range of finishes, such as enamel paint, FDA epoxy, Steel It™, and powder-coated, to meet the specific needs and preferences of the customers.
