Filter dryer has advanced data-logging capabilities
Powder Systems
The GFD bench-top Nutsche filter dryer (photo) overcomes challenges with commonly used methods of Büchner filtration and over drying, says the manufacturer. For instance, the new GFD supports laboratory process development, combining filtration, solids isolation, cake washing and vacuum drying in one step. The final product is fully recovered through a removable filtration basket. With its latest advances in data logging, accurate control of agitator speed and recipe input, the GFD can run autonomously (without human intervention), says the company. Data can be saved and exported for futher analysis and repeatability studies. Designed with advanced ergonomics in mind, the GFD can be integrated into fume hoods but still maintain good process visibility, batch homogeneity and reduced product exposure. — Powder Systems Ltd., Boise, Idaho
