Centrifugal separator for pharmaceutical extraction
In the pharmaceutical industry, effective extraction of active ingredients from solid-liquid mixtures is crucial. Traditional separation methods often struggle with high solids content, leading to inefficiencies and potential loss of valuable extracts.
Streamline active ingredient extraction
The GEA Decanter pharmMaster is specifically designed for the extraction processes within the pharmaceutical industry. This system excels at handling mixtures with high solids content. It works by mixing the extraction product with an extraction agent in a separate mixer. The suspension then flows axially into the decanter, where a solid-wall bowl with a cylindrical section ensures efficient liquid clarification while the conical section dewaters the solids. The scroll conveys the solid residues to the discharge point, and the extract is transferred via a centripetal pump. With parts made from high-alloyed stainless steels and gaskets available in NBR, FKM, or EPDM, the unit is robust and compliant with strict ATEX explosion protection standards. Using intelligent kinematics in its summation-drive, the system handles high differential speeds and torques, providing high efficiency and energy savings.
