Pharma separator for biopharma processing

Streamline your production with this advanced separator, designed to efficiently handle high solid contents and ensure precise separation and purification in biopharmaceutical processes, enhancing product yield and quality without manual adjustments.

Processes and Purifies Biopharmaceutical Formulations

The GEA Pharma Separator Pure X is designed for pharmaceutical manufacturers and biopharmaceutical producers seeking reliable and efficient separation of composite biological materials. This equipment employs a hydrohermetic inlet for gentle treatment, minimizing shear forces during the process. Engineered to adapt to diverse applications such as monoclonal antibody purification and vaccine production, it caters to a broad range of capacity needs with its GEA flexChange concept, offering variable bowl designs and sizes.

Automated via integrated direct drive systems, the separator ensures high clean room class levels, while optional ASME BPE compliance underscores its adaptability to industry standards. The advanced automated CIP system facilitates seamless cleaning, promoting minimal downtime and reducing contamination risk. This makes the equipment ideal for continuous, high-speed operations, providing an easy integration point within existing processing lines. With robust design options, including corrosion-resistant materials, it meets the demanding requirements of the pharmaceutical, biotech, and chemical sectors.
