Centrifugal disc filter

The pharmaceutical and bioprocess industries need filtration processes of particularly high quality to ensure containment of potentially hazardous substances and avoid product contamination. Experienced biopharmaceutical manufacturers know that equipment designed for general industry use often falls short of the tight quality and hygienic standards of our industry and that producers who embrace high quality pharmaceutical grade equipment will have an advantage over competitors.
