Filter Dryer
A filter drier is a piece of process equipment used during the filtration and drying phase of a pharmaceutical, bio pharmaceutical or chemical process for an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or other compounds production. Filter dryers are designed for washing and isolating solids with or without integrated containment systems.Maurice Pitcher, PSL, http://www.powdersystems.com/Filter Dryers-FilterDriers.html, 2011. Several actions have to be undertaken as part of the filtration and drying process including: *slurry charging *pressurized and / or vacuum filtration *controlled heating and cooling *cake smoothing and drying *contained discharging and sampling *vapor trap column, to trap solids particles ( fines ) carrying over with vapors *Clean-In-Place (CIP)Christian Parker (May 2012), Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer Magazine (PMPS). An agitated nutsche filter dryer (ANFD) is one class of such filter dryers that has been specifically designed so all these o ...

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
An active ingredient is any ingredient that provides biological activity, biologically active or other direct effect in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease or to affect the structure or any function of the body of humans or animals. The similar terms active pharmaceutical ingredient (also abbreviated as API) and bulk active are also used in medicine, and the term active substance may be used for Natural product, natural products. Some medication products may contain more than one active ingredient. The traditional word for the active pharmaceutical agent is pharmacon or pharmakon (from el, φάρμακον, adapted from ''pharmacos'') which originally denoted a Potion, magical substance or drug. The terms active constituent or active principle are often chosen when referring to the active chemical substance, substance of interest in a plant (such as salicylic acid in willow bark or arecoline in areca nuts), because the word "ingredient" in many m ...

Agitated Nutsche Filter
Agitated Nutsche filter (ANF) is a filtration technique used in applications such as dye, paint, and pharmaceutical production and waste water treatment. Safety requirements and environmental concerns due to solvent evaporation led to the development of this type of filter wherein filtration under vacuum or pressure can be carried out in closed vessels and solids can be discharged straightaway into a dryer. Filter features A typical unit consists of a dished vessel with a perforated plate. The entire vessel can be kept at the desired temperature by using a limpet jacket, jacketed bottom dish and stirrer (blade and shaft) through which heat transfer media can flow. The vessel can be made completely leak-proof for vacuum or pressure service. Nutsche filter disc The filter disc is the bottom porous plate of the nutsche filter. The filter disc retains the solids and lets the liquid/ gas passing through. It is the main filtration component of the nutsche filter. Types of the fi ...
