Microspheres process equipment for classification, washing, drying

Classify, wash, and dry polymeric microspheres

The Microsphere Refiner (MSR) by Austar is utilized for the classification, filtration, washing, and drying (freeze-drying) of polymeric microspheres post-solvent extraction. It offers a high yield of up to 90% and integrates all necessary processes into a single piece of equipment, including classification, washing, drying, sampling, and discharge. The MSR features automated process control and can integrate with a Process Skid for complete automatic production. Its efficient classification is achieved through both horizontal and vertical filtration methods, while drying benefits from jacket heating and cooling. The refined design includes an optimized tilt discharging mode. The MSR is scalable to different production sizes, ranging from laboratory (gram scale) to commercial production (up to 25 kg). Additionally, it can be configured to produce without sterile isolation or freeze-drying systems, lowering operation and maintenance costs.
