Glass nutsche filter for fine chemical and pharmaceutical filtration
For precise separation and filtration in R&D or small-scale production, glass nutsche filters offer superior control over solid-liquid separation, ensuring high purity levels in pharmaceutical ingredients and specialty chemicals.

Filters and Separates Biopharmaceutical and Chemical Components
The Glass Nutsche Filter from De Dietrich Process Systems is designed specifically for biopharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. This mobile filtration unit stands out with its corrosion-resistant glass construction, preventing any metal contact and ensuring product purity. It features a straightforward vacuum filtration process, ideal for R&D and pilot batch production. The QVF®-Nutsche Filter is equipped with an adjustable stirrer for smoothing the filter cake and incorporates a detachable filtrate chamber for easy product collection. Suitable for producing high-purity pharmaceutical intermediates, active ingredients, and specialty chemicals, it can handle batch operations efficiently. The transparency of the glass allows for visual process monitoring, while its smooth, pore-free surface facilitates easy cleaning, crucial for switching between products or meeting stringent contamination control standards. With integrated connections for ventilation and nitrogen, it promotes solvent efficiency and safety in handling volatile substances. The design also supports compliance with various industry standards, ensuring reliable and consistent results for fine chemical producers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and R&D laboratories.
