Pharmaceutical & Biopharmaceutical
The pharmaceutical process usually involves raw material extraction, fermentation, separation, purification, drying and many other complex steps, all of which require filtration equipment. Filter presses are essential solid–liquid separation devices in modern pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.
Pharmaceutical filter presses are commonly used for API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) crystal filtration, as well as for separating vitamins, antibiotics and vaccine fermentation broths; separating traditional Chinese medicine extracts and residues; intermediate fine filtration of injections and oral liquids; and harmless treatment of wastewater and solid residues.
Biopharmaceutical production typically uses microorganisms or cells for fermentation. A filter press can efficiently separate cells, biomass and impurities while retaining the target product. An explosion-proof stainless steel filter press is an excellent choice.
During traditional Chinese medicine extraction, the residue content is high. A dedicated plate-and-frame filter press for TCM can dewater efficiently, giving the plant extract a higher clarity.
Wastewater, precipitates or concentrated residues generated during pharmaceutical production all need dewatering and volume reduction. We can supply matched automatic dosing systems, sludge tanks, etc.
For the pharmaceutical sector, we can customize food-grade/medical-grade stainless steel filter presses, 316L plate-and-frame filter presses, ensuring the filtrate is processed in a fully enclosed environment to minimize contamination.
Medical membrane filter presses deliver rapid filtration and higher efficiency. By choosing the right filter cloth, you can achieve higher filtration precision, lower impurity contamination, and easier solid–liquid separation for waste reduction and recovery.
