New realisation: Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer (ANFD) 0,125 m²

We are pleased to announce the completion of a new project for a 0.125 m² mixing Nutsche filter and drying system. This dedicated facility represents the latest addition to our product portfolio for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

 

The equipment was manufactured for a UK client, and is another example of our ability to supply high quality products, even for international markets with stringent requirements for standards, documentation and technical performance.

 

What is a Nutsche mixing filter and drying system?

It is a multi-functional device that combines the functions of filtration, washing and drying of products in one vessel. The system allows the processing of solids in the liquid phase followed by drying, which significantly streamlines the production process. Nutsche filters are ideal for applications where high product purity, minimal residual solvent and consistent particle size are required.
