Overview
CCFD Pharma Vision
Continuous automatic filtration, washing and drying with innovative vision system for fine control over filtration and washing
State-of-the-art vision system automatically stops filtration and washing before dryland!
From feasibility through optimization to production on a single validateable platform!
The DN20 CCFD Pharma Vision achieves accurately controlled automatic filtering, washing, deliquoring as well as nitrogen/air drying, discharge of dry solids and Wash in Place. It consists of ten 20 mm diameter, 50 ml capacity filtration chambers.
Vision System
Automatic dryland detection!
Accurate auto-dispense of wash volume based on measured cake volume!
Improves product purity, yield and quality attributes!
Improves wash efficiency!
Reduces solvent usage!
Reduces energy and waste!
