Shibuya Hoppmann

Shibuya Hoppmann’s Robot Isolator termed CellPro, is a system designed to replace human operators in sterile-manufacturing processes that carry the risk of contaminating sensitive products or harming personnel. The system includes Shibuya’s rigid wall isolator, Shibuya’s decontamination system called the HYDEC and robots, which are specially designed to resist hydrogen peroxide. Shibuya and Fanuc collaborated on the robot design to allow for the robot to function in ISO 5 environments without contributing a significant amount of particulates under typical working conditions. Design features such as internal air purge, special seals at all joints, hydrogen peroxide resistant covers, enclosed electrical cables and lack of retention areas help resist bacterial growth on the robots and reduce the potential for contamination all under aseptic conditions. CellPro can incorporate multiple robots inside the isolator depending on the application required. Shibuya has designed a unique control system for the robots within the isolator utilizing hand-held controllers similar to the Nintendo Wii. This patented solution allows the operator to control the robots remotely and even train precise tasks which the robot duplicates based on the operators movement. With Shibuya’s state-of-the-art decontamination system, termed HYDEC, integrated into the Robot Isolator, aseptic conditions can be achieved in shorter time periods and utilizing less hydrogen peroxide than conventional systems. With this advantage as well as utilizing robots, the CellPro can increase operator safety by compounding potent drugs, manufacturing radiopharmaceuticals or handling cytotoxic ingredients. CellPro also reduces contamination risk in aseptic environments by replacing humans in cell-culturing, sterility testing and aseptic-processing applications. The collaboration between Shibuya and FANUC is one example of the technological advances that can improve safety, quality and efficiency in packaging machinery. Various applications for this system include: Cell and tissue processing Chemical hazardous operation Radioactive products handling New virus research Aseptic culture of animals and plants cell Shibuya developed the world’s first H2O2 resistant robot and the first H2O2 resistant robotic parts feeding solution in 2004.

A major personal care products manufacturer needed a Deodorant Feeder system that simultaneously and gently assembled a three-part, screw, base and platform, deodorant twist-up container at a rate of 150-300 parts per minute. This system is designed using proven assembly methods that are simple and efficient, provides accessibility to equipment in both floor plan and feeder elevations with special emphasis on maintenance accessibility, simple operation, and quiet, gentle handling.

We design a wide range of prefeeders to compliment our Hoppmann Centrifugal feeders. These prefeeders range in size and style to accommodate virtually any part variation. They are easily integrated with existing or new equipment. The centrifugal feeders are designed to singulate, orient and qualify parts, and provide maximum product efficiency to downstream operations. Centrifugal feeders are often referred to as unscramblers, sorters, or rotary bowls, because of the way they work. The feeder bowl rim is set to rotate at one speed, while at the same time the center disc rotates at a faster speed. This helps the product in the feeder to load onto the rotating rim with ease. As the feeder rim rotates, tooling positioned along the feeder backup ring helps to singulate, qualify, orient, and inspect the product before releasing it. Often parts are pre qualified in the feeder bowl and once the parts exit the feeder they are reoriented by the use of external tools, for example: c-track, twist track, zig zag track, transfer wheels, etc. When final exit orientation is achieved, the product is released to a downstream conveying or accumulating system. Typical Feeder System Shibuya Hoppmann manufactures a full range of feeder sizes, including specialty feeders for unique applications. For bottles or cylindrical parts, our custom scallop feeders are designed and equipped to handle your parts without damage to the product. Auxiliary equipment can be easily integrated to the scallop feeder, like ionizing air systems. Other specialty feeders include our pharmaceutical feeders which are designed to run in clean rooms andor within an isolator. Continuous developments are being made to our Hoppmann Centrifugal Feeder product line. These include improvements such as platform tooling, modular or “no-tool” changeover, and our new heavy duty feeder, which is set to handle small metal parts (screws, nails, etc.) for our expanding automotive market.

The FastTrack Feeder Program was designed for you - the customer who has a part they need unscrambled, oriented, and conveyed as soon as possible. Our engineers combine our state-of-the-art-technology with proven methods to design your feeder system. Expert technicians build your system to gently prefeed, unscramble and orient your product using Hoppmann centrifugal parts feeders. With our many years of experience in designing and engineering centrifugal feeder systems, we can create a feeding solution for any part quickly and efficiently. Your complete system, in one place. The faster you get your feeder system, the faster you start seeing your return on investment. We've set up strict guidelines to keep your project moving, including sending your approval drawing in just one week! Our Project Managers will be there each step of the way to make sure your system is on time and on schedule!

A variety of lip balm manufacturers have required different handling for their products. At varying rates from 150 - 450 ppm, we fed, oriented and pucked lip balm containers, handled empty containers, fed filled and capped lip balm barrels then labeled them, and so much more.

Our intermittent and indexing systems are designed to handle multiple, simultaneous operations in one compact system. Usually this includes: Verification Function Testing Inspection Testing Assembly Shibuya Hoppmann's indexing systems can run up to 60 parts per minute in a single station, and can be built product inspections throughout the entire process. We help you minimize space and maximize productivity!

For sterilization of a particular target area, whether it be a clean room or isolator, choose the HYDEC Decontamination System. The HYDEC can be purchased as a stand-alone or portable unit. The HYDEC unit can be attached to an isolator and used for applications and equipment such as: sterility testing, small scale clinical filling, biohazard products, chemical hazards, hospital preparation, mixed injection, and CPC - research and production. Extensive research has been conducted by Shibuya to perfect the decontamination process. Our microbiologists work with our customers to optimize the cycle development. Shibuya developed the HYDEC implementing a more advanced process than the traditional decontamination systems. The HYDEC uses a one time injection of vaporized H2O2 to accommodate the volume and surface area of the target material. Shibuya offers various models to accommodate target size area and applications. HYDEC Advantages No preconditioning (e.g. temperature and humidity control) of target area required Continuous replenishment of H2O2 during the process is not necessary Uses up to 40% less H2O2 than our competition Decontamination cycle times faster than our competition, as short as 15 minutes! HYDEC is environmentally friendly since H2O2 breaks down into water and oxygen. HYDEC can be used as stand-alone or integrated into an Isolator
