Isolator system for filling a container with a liquid, transfer station for transferring a container and method therefor

An isolator system for filling a container with a liquid, the isolator system comprising:

• a filling module having a filling station for filling the container with the liquid, a stopper placing station for placing a stopper on the filled container, and a plurality of handling devices for handling the container within the filling module;
• a first transfer station for transferring the container to be filled into the filling module;
• a second transfer station for transferring the filled container from the filling module;
• and
• a control device,
• wherein the control device is configured to control:
• one or more of the plurality of handling devices to transfer, as a first transferring, the container to be filled from the first transfer station to the filling station;
• the filling station to fill the container with the liquid;
• one or more of the plurality of handling devices to transfer, as a second transferring, the container from the filling station to a stopper placing station;
• the stopper placing station to place a stopper on the filled container;
• and
• one or more of the plurality of handling devices to transfer, as a third transferring, the container from the stopper placing station to the second transfer station, and
• wherein the isolator system is configured such that the container is transferred back to a removal module after filling and stopper placing in the filling module or after capping in a crimping module or after external washing in an external washing module through the individual modules, and
• wherein the removal module is configured to place the container back into a nest from which it was removed.
