Inverting filter centrifuge for high-potent Api products
Achieve optimal separation and reduce residual moisture with precision in high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredients and specialty chemicals, ensuring efficient and continuous operations in demanding processing environments.

Processes and Separates Slurries into High-Purity Solids
The HEINKEL Drying & Separation Group’s Inverting Filter Centrifuge HF Series is designed for the rigorous demands of pharmaceutical, chemical, and fine chemical industries. This centrifuge series offers a hermetically closed design ideal for continuous and fully automated operation, ensuring no residual heel during discharge and exceptional moisture reduction. Its unique inverting filter system efficiently processes and separates a range of slurries into high-purity solids, making it indispensable for producing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), specialty chemicals, and high-purity polymers.
With applications spanning pharmaceuticals to metal recycling, the HF Series supports productive capacity with basket diameters ranging from 300 mm to 1300 mm and centrifugal forces up to 1,500 x g, depending on the model. It is particularly effective in handling high-potent products with minimum installation needs, thereby maximizing product yield and quality. Engineered for seamless integration into production lines, it features PLC-controls that facilitate remote monitoring and process optimization.
The centrifuge is energy-efficient, utilizing pressure-added centrifugation to enhance performance while minimizing power usage. Available in durable stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Furthermore, it complies with stringent industry standards, making it suitable for GMP-regulated environments. For ease of maintenance, the HF Series includes a design that allows quick cleaning and minimal downtime, enhancing productivity and lifecycle management. Customization options, including adjustable rotor speeds and chamber dimensions, are available to meet specific operational needs.
