Pilot pharmaceutical aseptic separator and dryer
Achieve high-yield recovery of potent compounds with a separator that combines vacuum drying and gentle tumbling, ideal for maintaining product integrity in both wet and dry processes.

Filters, Dries, and Separates Pharmaceutical Products
The SWECO PH22 PharmASep, a 600mm filter/dryer, is designed for pharmaceutical manufacturers and is engineered to tackle complex filtration, drying, and separation tasks. Featuring SWECO’s patented Vibro-Dry technology, it enables vacuum drying while gently tumbling the product, minimizing agglomerate formation and accelerating drying time. Ideal for processing biopharmaceuticals, APIs, and nutraceuticals, the PH22 offers batch and continuous operations in pilot and production environments. It handles up to 5 kg of solids, maintaining high yield recoveries with its sealed pressure vessel and crevice-free interior. Made from high-quality materials for optimal corrosion resistance, it complies with GMP and FDA standards, ensuring safety and quality in pharmaceutical applications. The system also supports seamless integration into existing production lines with advanced control options, enhancing operational efficiency.
