Clarifiers for pilot and lab scale applications
Ensure efficient separation and clarification at the pilot or lab scale with equipment that maintains product purity and minimizes setup complexity, ideal for refining batch operations in experimental and small-scale production environments.
Clarifies and Separates Liquid Products
The GEA Pilot Scale Clarifier offers a reliable solution for pharmaceutical and biotech sectors aiming to perfect separation and clarification processes at lab and pilot scales. Utilizing a hydrohermetic inlet, it ensures gentle product handling, preserving the vitality and activity of proteins and enzymes. Designed for applications ranging from 15 to 300-liter batches, it excels in producing biotech drugs, antibiotics, and enzyme extracts.
This clarifier integrates seamlessly with your existing setup, supported by advanced GEA automation systems for precise control. Its chemical cleaning-in-place (CIP) simplifies maintenance, minimizing downtime and contamination risks. Built with durability in mind, it complies with GMP standards, making it ideal for research institutes, universities, and pilot-scale production companies focused on innovation and safety. The option of undergoing GMP pre-qualifications at GEA’s test facility further assures compliance and performance.
