Project Description
FUNDA® filters
The FUNDA® is a fully enclosed horizontal plate filter for semi-continuous solid / liquid separation, operating under pressure and allowing fully automatic operation, including cake discharge achieved by centrifugal rotation of the filter stack at the end of the cycle and simultaneous opening of the bottom valve. The filter is therefore “self-cleaning” and requires no manual operator intervention.
The filter is fully enclosed for environmentally safe operation without hazards to operators and is fully suitable for processing solvents and therefore for installation in an ATEX zone.
Some typical applications in the pharmaceutical industry are:
- API Solution Decolourisation – Activated Carbon filtration
- Filtration of catalyst from API solution hydrogenation
- Filtration of colloids and by-products from API solution
- Filtration of API crystals (e.g. Amoxicillin, ampicillin, etc.)
Features:
- Uniform cake formation on a horizontal surface
- Filter area: 0,15 – 80 m2
- Cake volume: 5 – 2’000 litres
- «SKID MOUNTED» systems available.
