DPTE-BetaBag®

Optimize your production with a single-use DPTE® transfer solution

The DPTE-BetaBag® is a solution for safe, fast, and contamination-free transfer of components to maintain high-speed production.

The DPTE® system is based on the interaction of an Alpha part with a Beta part – each fitted with a door, a lock, and a sealing function.

DPTE-BetaBag® production in ISO 5 and ISO 7 cleanrooms

Validated solution

The validation of our DPTE-BetaBag® complies with international regulations:

  • Mechanical validation: leak testing of DPTE® Beta unit, leak testing if bag welded onto DPTE®, seal strength of the bag
  • Sterility validation: gamma irradiation cycle between 25 and 50 kGy
  • Microbiological validation: Bioburden, Endotoxin level
  • Particulate validation

The DPTE-BetaBag® range is assembled in ISO 5 and ISO 7 environments
for ultra-clean production.

An operator transfer components with the DPTE®-EXO and sleeveless DPTE-BetaBag

To support the need for gloveless processes, Getinge has developed the DPTE®-EXO - an external opening automated rapid transfer port - and a sleeveless DPTE-BetaBag. The sleeve has been removed and its protective functions are now replaced by the alpha port's funnel.

The DPTE®-EXO with Sleeveless DPTE-BetaBag® is a fully validated and interlocked system. Together with the dismountable funnel, it offers a total gloveless transfer solution from the outside of the aseptic filling area to the processing area.

Many applications

Validated to comply with international regulations, the DPTE-BetaBag® is used in various applications in aseptic and contained production.
