Sponsored Content by Powder SystemsMay 6 2024Reviewed by Andrea Salazar Solid-liquid separation is essential across several industries for compliance, quality control, and efficient production processes. In the pharmaceutical industry, solid-liquid separation is performed in application areas that include active pharmaceutical ingredient purification, biocatalysis, and chromatography, to name a few.
The available systems for solid-liquid separation include centrifuges, filters, and a range of multipurpose equipment if required. Many processes necessitate drying an extra feature, which can be carried out in a separate piece of equipment or, if the assembly allows, combined with existing instruments.
Centrifuge Centrifuges are useful in many applications, but users must determine when they are most suitable. A rotor and centrifugal force can be applied to separate liquids and solids of various densities, such as water, oil and sediment. Single mesh filter Single mesh filters are used in solid-liquid separation to extract larger particles from a sample. They are frequently deployed in pharmaceutical and biochemical laboratory applications where it is important to eliminate any contaminants and impurities.
Filtration and drying Powder Systems Limited designs and manufactures filter dryer systems used in pharmaceuticals, known across the global marketplace for efficiency in solid-liquid processing.
