Comi Condor

Horizontal inverting filter centrifuge HT GMP-Pharma

HT/GMP inverting filter centrifuge

• The inverting filter centrifuge HT/GMP is designed for typical pharmaceutical applications with slow filtering and compressible cakes (API and HPAPI).
• HT/GMP centrifuge is used for the production of chemicals and mainly pharmaceuticals synthesis, products where it is absolutely necessary to avoid the contact between product and operator.
• COMI CONDOR has developed a completely openable casing that allows the inspection of the rear wall of the basket and avoid dead zones in the process area.
• It’s possible to enhance the centrifugation phase using nitrogen at 6 barg inside the basket (Hyperbaric Centrifugation System) to reduce the residual moisture (centrifuge dryer)

SPECIFICATIONS

• High separation efficiency for products with fine particles, compressible (low filterability), fine chemical/API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients)
• Gentle handling of the crystals: the solids discharge is achieved by means of the filter cloth inversion. The soft crystals are recovered without breakage
• Due to the short discharging time and the complete elimination of the heel cake at every cycle, it’s possible to work with thin cakes allowing to separate products with low filtering properties (fine particles, high compressibility), achieving a very good/uniform cake washing;
• C.I.P.: very good possibility of achieving an efficient C.I.P. (Clean In Place) thanks to the use of the W.M.E. (Washing Machine Effect) and spray balls
• Capability of pre-drying or even drying (for some products) thanks to the HCS (Hyperbaric Centrifugation System), supplying N2 at max 6 barg into the basket for further dewatering the capillaries inside the cake (reduction of the residual moisture)
• Cake volumes from 7 (pilot unit) to 210 l
• High G factors from 1018 to 1663 (pilot unit)
• Basket load setting via load cell system;
• Even cake due to the horizontal design;
• Filter cloths available of PP of Halar or PTFE;
• Gas tightness at 400 mm H2O;
• Completely inspectable process area thanks to the fully openable front casing;
• Easy installation (isolation from unbalance loads by means of rubber dumpers);
• Through the wall installation;
• No contact between operator and product during operation;
• Electromechanical filter cloth inversion (oil free execution);
• Various levels of containment at solids discharge
• High finish surfaces;
• Complete FDA validation documentation;
• Materials in contact with the product: all stainless steels and special alloys available, such as AISI 316L, AISI 904L, Hastelloy, Monel, ALLOY 59, 254 SMO, NICKEL, TITANIUM, SAF 2205. HALAR coatings (ECTFE), also antistatic and FDA certificated, Teflon ETFE, HARD RUBBER
