Agitated nutsche filter dryers for chemical synthesis

Enhance your production efficiency by integrating a system that combines filtration, washing, and drying, all in one controlled environment, ensuring optimal handling of sensitive compounds while maintaining product quality and safety.

Facilitates Filtration, Re-Slurry, and Vacuum Drying

The Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer (ANFD) from Powder Systems Limited is an integrated filtration and drying system designed for the complexities of chemical synthesis processes. It features an agitated vessel capable of operating under both vacuum and pressure, ensuring efficient product drying and mixing. Ideal for pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and precious metal industries, it supports operations like washing, re-slurrying, and vacuum drying to produce high-purity Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and other compounds. The system’s modular design allows for vessel fabrication in stainless steel or Alloy 22, with options for PFA coating to enhance corrosion resistance. Additionally, it complies with strict cGMP and FDA standards, ensuring safe processing of highly potent compounds. Its automated systems integrate seamlessly into existing production lines, supporting batch and continuous operations with high containment capabilities. Designed for ease of maintenance, the ANFD includes features for simple cleaning and product discharge, helping optimize production yield through its Direct Heel Recovery method.
