Pharma extraction clarifier
In pharmaceutical extraction processes, handling suspensions with low solid contents poses challenges in separation efficiency and yield. The delicate nature of these extractions requires a system that minimizes shear forces and optimizes phase interchange to improve overall yield quality.
Optimizes liquid-solid extraction processes
The GEA clarifier for pharma extraction is engineered for solid-liquid extraction processes with low solid contents (up to approximately 7% by volume). Designed according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, it features patented hydrohermetic feed and precise systems for controlled partial ejections, ensuring low shear forces on the product. The clarifier supports fully automatic cleaning-in-place (CIP) and covers all liquid-solid extraction processes, including co-current, counter-current, and cross-current principles. Its high stage efficiency minimizes the number of stages required, reducing both operating and investment costs. Additionally, the system enhances throughput capacity while occupying minimal space. By avoiding backmixing, it significantly improves substance interchange between phases, resulting in higher overall yield qualities and increased process security and availability.
