Kumar Process Consultants and Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., which is a well known name in the process industry for more than 15 years, has developed unique filters which find extensive application in pharma industry.These filters, which are an extension of conventional filter nutsches incorporate non-fibre/particle releasing sintered S.S. 316L, fusion bonded multilayered S.S. 316 mesh filter medium instead of conventional PP/Polyester cloth. This is a major advantage in applications requiring filtration of antibiotics, vitamins etc. in sterile rooms where ordinary centrifuge cannot be used and use of conventional filter nutsche is ruled out as fibre releasing filter clothes cannot be used. Morever the design of filter nutsche allows the user to have a simple type of lid which can be handled by 1-2 persons without having to call for maintenance team thereby saving a lot of time during loading, unloading operation. Very recently, these filters nutsches have been modified to incorporate the top lids which can be lifted by davit-arm (all in S.S. to meet CGMP requirements).The filter discs can be offered in any one of the standard micron ratings available with us, viz. 100. 40, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 0.5 micron to suit filtration applications covering a wide range of products having different filtration characteristics. The filter discs being removable type, the same unit could be used to filter products of different nature viz-a-viz particle size, filtrability, etc. merely by changing the filter discs. This saves a lot of time and money as the entire system including pipes remain unaltered during the changeover of batches.Quite a few sizes are offered as standard products. Some of these models have 12", 14", 15" and 20" dia filter discs. Most of these products, however, are generally custom designed to suit the product being manufactured with respect to cake height, liquid hold up and pipe connection.These units are offered with TC type sanitary connections for reaction mixture, N2/gas inlet, product outlet and are with diaphragm type combination gages, sight glass and ball valves for liquid and outlet. In order to facilitate movement in the sterile room, the assembly is mounted on castor wheels.Some of the applications for which these units are in operation for the last 4-5 years include filtration of Sodium Ampicillin (sterile), Beta Methazone and other antibiotics.We would be quite pleased to solve your filtration problem including filtration of sterile products.
