Nutsche filter dryer system for small scale batches
Efficiently tackle filtration and drying challenges with a compact, mobile solution designed for precise control in small-scale and pilot batch production environments.
Filters, Dries, and Processes Slurry for Pharmaceuticals
The SimpleFilter™ from Powder Systems Limited is an engineered solution for small scale and pilot batch processing in pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotech industries. This Nutsche filter dryer stands out with its compact, mobile design allowing for efficient filtration, drying, and washing of slurries, cakes, and solids. Its single plate pressure and vacuum vessel integrates a glove-bag containment system, ensuring safe discharge and sampling under a nitrogen purge. Available in 316L stainless steel or PFA-coated options, it offers significant corrosion resistance. The system is designed for GMP compliance, supporting applications such as API purification, specialty chemicals, and biopharmaceuticals. With vessel volumes ranging from 50 to 130 liters and configurable with agitation and CIP systems, SimpleFilter™ enhances adaptability and production agility, ensuring high product recovery and maintaining crucial process parameters consistent from R&D to commercial production stages.
