What are the common filtration devices used in pharmaceutical production?
Material filtration or air filtration, or disinfectant filtration?
High-speed centrifuge Ultra-high-speed centrifuge
A filter press is also a type of filtration machine
This topic is quite broad; there are countless types of filters. Classified by filtration method, they include suction filtration, pressure filtration, centrifugation, extrusion, concentration, and more. When it comes to machines, there are many of them: common conventional filter presses, conventional suction filters, plate and frame filters, centrifuges, two-in-one filters, three-in-one filters, bag filters, high-temperature polymer filters, sterilizing filters – the list is long. Depending on the application area and scope, their names and structural designs vary as well. But the principle is the same in all cases
Filtering may be achieved through a combination of methods such as pressure filtration and vacuum
When it comes to filtering pharmaceuticals, microfiltration is used the most often for tasks such as sterilization and removal of particles
