Nutsche filter systems

Non-agitated type Nutsche Filter with cleanable SS 316L filter disc.

Kumar process has designed unique Non-agitated type Nutsche Filters. Conventional Nutsche filters use PP / Polyester cloth which could release fibers leading to product contamination. We offer cleanable, non-fiber / particle releasing Sintered SS316L filter discs. This is a major advantage in applications requiring filtration of antibiotics, vitamins etc. in sterile rooms where ordinary centrifuge cannot be used and use of conventional filter cloth is ruled out. The design of Nutsche filter allows easy handling for the user without having to call the maintenance team inside the clean room, thereby saving a lot of time during loading and unloading operation. Davit arm arrangement in SS is also provided for larger units. The cleanable SS316L filter disc can be offered in any one of the standards. Micron rating available with us is between 100 Micron and 0.5 Micron to suit filtration application covering a wide range of products having different filtration characteristics. The filter disc can be cleaned by water / appropriate solvent wash and thus be repeatedly used for a number of years which makes it highly cost effective as compared to conventional Nutsche filters that use cloth.

Most of our assemblies are custom designed to suite the product being manufactured with respect to cake height, liquid hold-up, CIP / SIP requirements etc.
