ILC Dover Introduces DoverDoQ™ to Advance Contained Potent Powder Transfer in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

ROSSENS, Switzerland, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ILC Dover, an Ingersoll Rand business and global leader in containment and material handling solutions, today announced the launch of DoverDoQ™, a semi-automatic connection system designed to enable safe, reliable, and highly contained powder transfers for pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing applications. Developed by ILC Dover's Engineering Center of Excellence in Switzerland, DoverDoQ™ combines decades of containment expertise with a streamlined user experience. Engineered for broad compatibility, DoverDoQ™ integrates with ILC Dover's containment and powder handling solutions, including DoverPac® and D100 systems, helping manufacturers create a more complete end-to-end material transfer workflow.

As manufacturers increasingly work with potent compounds under stringent containment requirements, protecting operators while maintaining product integrity remains a critical challenge. DoverDoQ™ addresses these demands with a secure liner-to-process connection that helps maintain containment throughout connection, transfer, and disconnection operations while reducing the risk of operator exposure and process contamination. The system supports one-person operation and enables powder transfer, helping improve efficiency while reducing retained powder.

"DoverDoQ™ represents the next evolution of ILC Dover's containment and powder handling portfolio," said Ciro Ahumada, Vice President & General Manager, Biopharma & Pharma Solutions, Ingersoll Rand. "Customers are looking for integrated solutions that connect each stage of material handling, from storage and transfer through processing, while maintaining containment and operational efficiency. DoverDoQ™ extends the value of proven solutions such as DoverPac® and D100 by providing a secure and reliable interface that helps manufacturers create a more complete powder handling ecosystem."

Key benefits of DoverDoQ™ include:

• Qualified containment by design supporting validated manufacturing processes with measurable containment performance for pharmaceutical and chemical applications.
• Reliable, repeatable connections help reduce process variability, minimize manual handling, and limit unintended operator exposure.
• Efficient one-person operation that streamlines connection and disconnection workflows while improving productivity.
• Improved operator safety through reduced hands-on interaction during critical transfer steps.
• Broad liner compatibility, including compatibility with liners from multiple suppliers as well as ILC Dover solutions such as DoverPac® and D100.
• Designed for rated areas, supporting safe operation in potentially hazardous manufacturing environments.

The launch of DoverDoQ™ expands ILC Dover's containment portfolio by providing manufacturers with a secure, efficient connection solution for potent powder transfer applications. The system complements existing powder handling technologies while helping improve process consistency and reduce operator intervention.  For more information about DoverDoQ™ and ILC Dover's containment solutions portfolio, visit www.ilcdover.com.
