ANFD – AGITATED NUTSCHE FILTER-DRYERS
FOR PILOT PLANT AND COMMERCIAL SCALE PRODUCTION

AT A GLANCE
Everyday our technology is assisting hundreds of pilot and production facilities around the world to reliably manufacture and bring their products to the market faster. PSL filter-dryer systems are being used in a wide range of industries such as pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals and precious metals.
Our ANFD production systems were developed to efficiently wash and isolate solids in the most complex chemical synthesis processes and challenging production environments. Our solutions are designed to overcome well-known challenges faced by manufacturers when using traditional production methods, such as Büchner filtration and oven tray-drying.
Each of our filter-dryer consists of an agitated vessel designed to work under vacuum and under pressure. Its vessel can be made of either stainless steel or alloy 22 and can be coated with specific materials such as PFA (perfluoroalkoxy alkane). It is also equipped with a heated jacket and heated agitator for efficient product drying and mixing.
