PSL has launched the simplefilter, a versatile contained filtration solution suitable for applications in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industry.
The simplefilter can be used in many processes that currently require extensive personal protective equipment (PPE). Typical applications include chemical development and active pharmaceutical ingredients production, carbon filtration, hydrogenation, catalyst recovery and pre filtering for micro-filtration.
The product is a single plate pressure filter with effective containment via a nitrogen-purged glovebag. Standard simplefilters include heated vessel walls while a heated base, sterile design base, and various methods of contained discharge are provided as optional extras. In order to provide maximum flexibility and adaptability, units are mobile as standard.
Products can be recovered via a continuous liner system direct to liners or via a PSL ChargePoint split butterfly valve to a PSL ChargeBag. The latter allows for contained handling in further process steps.
