Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer Pilot Systems Overview:
Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer (ANFD) are now being exceedingly used by the pharmaceutical, chemical, fine chemicals, and food processing industries.
The equipment is used for Solid-Liquid Separation processes, in a closed environment, to meet the demanding requirements for filtering and drying applications for high valued products of hazardous and toxic nature.
These systems are also especially being used in the Pharmaceutical Industry for the manufacturing of APIs, internationally.
Agitated Nutsche Filter and Dryers Pilot Systems by UltraPilot Technologies are designed to carry out Filtration under vacuum & pressure, in a closed environment, which can handle difficult solvents & products, without contamination, in a clean and safe operation. Strict cGMP and FDA Guidelines are adhered to, making these systems as equipment of choice for API Industries.
> Our ANFD Pilot Systems are designed to ensure all operations are performed in:
- An enclosed contained environment with the highest filtration and drying efficiency.
- GMP/Sterile designs with complete efficient discharge ability.
- Ensuring cleanability, which adheres to CIP/SIP requirements.
- Highest filtration and drying efficiency with process safety and monitoring system.
- Ensuring product quality, consistency, and operational safety.
> These systems are available in different corrosion-resistant material:
- Stainless Steel
- Hastelloy and Special Alloys
- PVDF, Halar and Tefzel Coating
> Skid Mounted including with all drives required instrumentation and hydraulics.
> Bottom detachable configuration for ease of access and cleaning of the system after each batch or during product change-overs.
> Shaft sealing with Double Dry Mechanical Seal and Expansion Bellow.
> Simultaneous rotational and vertical agitator motions result in very efficient and even mixing and drying.
> Product wetted surfaces are heated to obtain the largest possible heat exchange area for short drying times.
> The system can be provided with essential instrumentation such as HMI’s PLC’s with Programmable operating procedures, for ease of data mining.
> Systems can be provided with a Glove-Box arrangement for containment of critical products to enable contactless process operations.
> HMI/PLC/SCADA Systems.
> PLC controls, autonomous or slaved to DCS, MCC.
> Instruments such as Differential Pressure transmitters, Temperature indicator transmitters, compound gauges, conductivity meters for wash cycle indications.
> Compatibility for installation of Isolators for contact-free operations heel removal, etc.
> Accessories such as Condenser, Receiver, Vacuum Pump, Interconnecting Piping can be provided as a separate skid mounted arrangement.
> Arrangements for installations of different filtration media such as cloths/sintered meshes/wire meshes.
> The same Chassis can be used for increasing the capacity of the equipment to next higher level.
