GMP's Zero Hold-Up / Sparkler Type Filter Press consist of Stainless Steel Shell & Top cover using bolts to give pressure tight enclosure. The filter cartridge assembly inside the shell consists of several horizontally arranged disc type filter plates with perforated supporting screens, filter media & interlocking cups. The entire assembly complete with pump & piping connection is mounted on a suitable S.S. Trolley.

Operation :

Zero Hold-Up: The Cartridge assembly consists of plates, perforated screens, spacers and fitter media. Interlocking spacers internally form single pipeline. The unfiltered liquid is centrally fed under pressure from bottom inlet. The liquids spreads out equally on each plate fitted with filter media. Solids remain on filter media and clear. Filtrate flows through precisely made holes on sides of plates and collects in the shell, which then come out through the outlet. In this process, solids are evenly distributed on each plate. The cake is then cleaned from the filter material and used again for filtration process
 

• Single pass filtration with no solid bypass.
• Full batch recovery, no separate scavenging system needed.
• Proper sealing which allows the filtration of volatile, toxic and inflammable products.
• Plate pack arrangement ensures any type of filtering mediasingularly or in combination, can be used to achieve required micron efficiency. Easy removal and cleaning of the cartridge assembly.
• Closed System ensures filtration of toxic, hazardous, explosive materials, efficiently cleaned and sterilized.
• Central feeding ensures no solid inside the vessel, complete recovery of liquids. Cake solids can be dried with N, complete cake retains over the plate. Uniform filter-aid bed can be formed. Reduces the cost of expensive solvents.

Sparkler Type :

The impure liquid to be filtered is fed to the filter shell by pump. It arrives on top of each plate through opening on the sides of plates. As liquid pressure increases, the filter media (Paper/fabric) holds back the impurities & allows the crystal clear filtrate to pass through the central channel (formed by interlocking cups) which takes the filtrate to the outlet of filter. This filter most commonly used to obtain clear liquid. However if required, the cake formed between the plates can be obtained. Filtration is continued until its rate becomes very slow due to increased cake resistance.

Salient Features :

• Available in GMP and Non-GMP model.
• All Contact Parts are made up of S.S. 304, 316, 316L and Non-Contact Parts are made-up of S.S. 304/ M.S. material.
• S.S. / M.S. Jacket can be provided for hot filtration.
• Gives crystal clear filtration by filtering particles up to 1 micron size. Scavenger arrangement to remove all the liquid.
• Cake can be dried either by compressed air or by insert gas, steam.
• Filtration rates from 600 Ltrs/hr. to 30000 Ltrs/hr possible depending on the models.
• Centrifugal / Gear / Lobe pumps can be offered, which can also be used for liquid transfer.
• Sample collecting device & safety valve provided.

Optional :

• Flame-Proof motor with Flame-Proof ON-OFF Push Buttons.

Internal Construction :

Technical Specifications :

GMP's ointment/cream manufacturing plants are used in the pharmaceutical & cosmetic industries for the production of ointments, creams, lotions, toothpaste, emulsions & homogenizations. The plant is made with specially designed vessels, pipes, pipe fittings, motors and other accessories.

It includes wax phase vessel, water phase vessel, manufacturing vessel, storage vessel, interconnecting piping, bump pump / metering pump, control panel and working platform.

The vessels are manufactured from ss316 grade material and are constructed with cgmp compliant. The vessels are jacketed, insulated and cladded. A specially designed agitator assembly is provided in each vessel. Wax is melted and water is heated to desired temperature in the respective vessels and both media will be transferred to manufacturing vessel through vacuum. Both these media are homogenized to make uniform emulsion and cooled by passing chilled water in the jacket of the manufacturing vessel. After the emulsion is formed, active ingredients / colors are added and thoroughly mixed and homogenized. The prepared solution is transferred to the storage vessels by means of a bump pump.

Salient Features :

• The complete plant is manufactured under current good manufacturing practice (cgmp).
• All contact parts are made up of ss316 and non-contact parts from ss304.
• The plant is easy to clean due to complete cover lifting arrangement.
• Specially designed anchor stirrer with flexible teflon scrapper.
• The manufacturing vessel is provided with slow speed anchor agitator for mixing and bottom entry high speed
• Homogenizer for emulsifying.
• Variable frequency drive is provided in manufacturing vessel for anchor agitator for different speed.
• Specially designed inline filters can also be provided to ensure proper filtration. (optional)
• Load cell for accurate weighing online. (optional)
• Plc based control panel for process automation. (optional)

Capacity Size :

• Available from 10 kg. To 1000 kg. (20 ltrs. To 2000 ltrs. ).

It is made as per WHO & US FDA standards to manufacture sterile solutions. This is a completely closedvessel with agitator mounted on top dome. The vessel will be available with different accessories for different applications i.e. standard stirrer/magnetic stirrer/ as required by the customers.

Salient Features :

• Design as per ASME code.
• No stagnant point, internal surfaces are 0.28 Ra finish.
• All contact parts /surfaces made out of SS 316 / SS 316L quality.
• Electro polished from inside.
• The vessel will be jacketed, insulated and cladded by SS 304 sheet.
• Spray ball for CIP /SIP system.
• Flush bottom valve.
• Vary speed drive.
• Steam/Electrical heating.
• If required, Load cell/capacitance type level indicator will be provided to measure the volume inside the tank.
