Construction of Pressure Nutsche Filter

Kumar Process make Pressure Nutsche Filters (PNFs) are ideal for Nutsche filtration applications in pharmaceutical and sterile environments. Unlike conventional filters using PP/Polyester cloth, our Pressure Nutsche filters feature cleanable, non-fiber-releasing Sintered metallic filter discs, ensuring flawless filtration quality without product impurity risks. The nutsche filter is particularly beneficial for filtering antibiotics and vitamins in sterile rooms where ordinary centrifuges are unsuitable.

The pressure nutsche filter design allows easy handling without requiring time to time intervention from the maintenance team, saving valuable time during loading and unloading operations, especially in clean room settings. Additionally, our pressure nutsche filters come with a Davit arm arrangement in SS/Hastelloy for larger units, enhancing operational convenience.

With micron ratings ranging from 100 Micron to 1 Micron, our PNFs cater to diverse filtration needs across a wide range of products with varying filtration characteristics. The cleanable SS316L filter discs can be washed with water or appropriate solvent, ensuring longevity and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional Nutsche filters using cloth. Experience efficient and reliable Nutsche filtration with Kumar Process's advanced Pressure Nutsche Filters, designed for optimal performance and longevity in pharmaceutical and sterile environments. All of our equipment is custom designed to suit the product being manufactured with respect to cake height, liquid hold-up, CIP / SIP requirements etc.

Pressure Nutsche Filter Working Principle

The Pressure Nutsche Filter (PNF) is commonly used to remove coarse solids from slurry streams. As a closed vessel, the Pressure Nutsche Filter uses pressure or vacuum to separate solids from liquids. The slurry is filled in from the top. Under pressure, the slurry is filtered through the filter media. The clear filtrate comes out through the bottom of the filter. The sealed pressure nutsche filter design guarantees odorless, contamination-free, and environmentally sound operations, with options for complete leak-proofing for vacuum nutsche filters.

What are the advantages of Pressure Nutsche Filter?

An Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer (ANFD) provides efficient cake recovery and various material options for cost-effective designs. It supports processes like steaming, sparging, drying, and washing within a single unit, handling diverse flow rates and solids loading. Ideal for concentrated suspensions and extracting active agents, ANFD dryers hold comprehensive filtration and solids processing capabilities, including an integrated CIP system for easy cleaning. Fully enclosed, these systems ensure environmentally safe operations, making them suitable for various applications.

Applications of Pressure Nutsche Filter

Pharmaceutical Industry: PNFs are used for filtering pharmaceutical compounds, separating solids from liquids during drug manufacturing processes.

FAQs

What is the pressure filtration method?

The filtration rate of a pressure nutsche filter is the speed at which it separates solids from a liquid stream under pressure, typically measured in GPM or LPM. It varies based on factors like filter design, size, media type, and liquid properties. Pressure Nutsche filters aim for efficient rates while maintaining nutsche filtration quality, adjustable to specific needs for optimal performance in industrial processes.

How to optimize pressure Nutsche filter design?

Optimizing pressure Nutsche filter design involves several key considerations. First, assess the filtration requirements, including the type of solids and liquid properties. Choose the appropriate filter media, vessel size, and pressure rating based on these factors. Integrate safety features like pressure relief valves and consider ancillary equipment such as pumps for liquid transfer. Ensure proper sealing and gasketing and test the design for performance and efficiency before implementation.
