Pilot scale nutsche filter dryer for solid-liquid separation
When developing chemical or pharmaceutical products at the pilot scale, reliable solid-liquid separation is crucial. Challenges include optimizing yield, maintaining product integrity, and ensuring efficient drying, especially during feasibility and proof of concept stages.
Facilitates filtration, washing, and drying processes
The GFD®Pilot from Powder Systems Limited (PSL) performs multiple solid-liquid separation processes, including filtration, washing, re-slurry, and vacuum drying, within a single, integrated system. Designed for kilolab and pilot scale operations, it supports the transition from lab-scale research to larger-scale production. The GFD®Pilot employs an agitated vessel that operates under vacuum and pressure, featuring a heated jacket for efficient drying. Made from materials like Borosilicate 3.3 glass, 316L Stainless Steel, or Alloy 22, it accommodates various chemical and pharmaceutical applications. The removable filtration basket maximizes product recovery and supports quick mesh changes. The system is modular and mobile, ensuring compatibility with upstream processes and hazardous environments, with options for ATEX and NFPA certification. Vessel specifications include a product cake volume of 0.93-5.00L and a total vessel volume of 10.0L, making it versatile for different batch sizes.
