GFD®Lab Laboratory Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer

GFD® - Laboratory Nutsche Filter Dryer Technology GFD®Lab The GFD®Lab Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer (ANFD) provides the reliability and performance of a production-scale filter dryer in a benchtop form. Optimised for laboratory applications, it performs solid-liquid separation processes and offers the same efficiency and benefits of the full size filter dryers PSL is renowned for. PSL’s unique GFD® technology was developed to overcome the well-known production challenges faced by manufacturers when using traditional production methods such as Büchner filtration and oven tray-drying. It...

GFD® - Laboratory Nutsche Filter Dryer Technology 1: Agitator System Height-adjustable system with manual or automated operation (GFD ®Lab PLUS only) Bidirectional motor for smoothing and ploughing of filter cake 10-100 rpm with up to 5.1 N•m torque Aids uniform drying of filter cake Available in 316L Stainless Steel or Alloy 22 2: Vessel Manufactured from Borosilicate 3.3 glass, 316L Stainless Steel or Alloy 22 Integrated heating jacket aids quick and effective drying of the product Easy to clean High chemical and heat resistance Various nozzle connections for maximum process flexibility...

GFD® - Laboratory Nutsche Filter Dryer Technology Combined Filtration and Drying Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryers separate solids from liquid in batch-oriented processing. The product of interest is usually the solid but in some cases the filtrate liquid or both, thus the need for versatile and flexible equipment that can adapt to achieve the desired outcome. The GFD®Lab is an all-in-one filter dryer designed to comply with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) for regulated research and development activities. It allows process developers and manufacturers to complete a wide range of processes in...

GFD® - Laboratory Nutsche Filter Dryer Technology Unrivalled Product Recovery At PSL, we understand that maximising product recovery is extremely valuable in order to remain competitive in specific markets. The core features of the GFD®Lab were designed keeping this crucial requirement in mind. Upon process completion, product batches can be collected easily by simply removing the filtration basket from the GFD®Lab vessel. Additionally, the unique GFD® basket was designed to allow quick and easy changeover of filtration meshes with various pore-sizes and materials (Polypropylene, PTFE,...

GFD® - Laboratory Nutsche Filter Dryer Technology Enhanced Modular Flexibility The GFD®Lab is an innovative agitated nutsche filter dryer with a modular design that enables end-users to interchange vessels sizes from the 010 and 050 series without the need to use a different base frame. To further enhance production flexibility, the base frame of each GFD®Lab model is also compatible with all available vessel materials (i.e. Borosilicate 3.3 glass, 316L Stainless Steel, Alloy 22).

GFD® - Laboratory Nutsche Filter Dryer Technology GFD® - The Choice is Yours Due to its unique modular design, it is possible to upgrade the standard GFD®Lab into a GFD®Lab PLUS model by simply retrofitting a new base frame to the existing vessel. By opting for this upgrade, the additional features allow you to speed-up development activities by automating the controls of your GFD®Lab.
