Laboratory nutsche filter dryer for solid-liquid separation
In research and development settings, traditional methods like Büchner filtration and oven tray-drying pose challenges such as inefficiency, lengthy processing times, and potential contamination. Laboratories need more efficient and reliable technologies to overcome these limitations, especially for those involving delicate or sensitive processes.
Efficiently filters, washes, and dries samples
The GFD®Lab from Powder Systems Limited (PSL) is a benchtop Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer (ANFD) designed to perform laboratory-scale solid-liquid separations with high reliability. This miniature version of a production filter-dryer includes an agitator and operates under vacuum and pressure, ensuring effective and efficient filtration and drying. Available in glass, stainless steel, or Alloy-22, the vessel features a heated jacket for optimized drying. The removable filtration basket allows for easy product collection. The system is also modular, allowing interchangeability between vessel sizes (010 and 050 series) without needing a different base frame. Ideal for research institutes, laboratories, and universities, the GFD®Lab supports varied applications including slurry filtration, product washing, vacuum drying, and product discharge.
