Pharmaceuticals - Liquid Filtration
Today, pharmaceutical plants demand consistent results that require high performance/high efficiency filter media. Most pharmaceutical filtration is a batch process. Often, the process slurries are quite difficult to filter due to the shape and consistency of the solids.
Fabric consistency and/or consistency of the finishes that are applied to the filtration fabrics is vital to filtration quality. Menardi works with the world's leading fabric weavers to ensure that our filtration fabrics meet the strict requirements demanded in this industry. Below is a partial list of areas in which Menardi has supplied filtration technology:
- Centrifuge
- Nutsche filters
- Filter press
- Transfer chutes
Common process problems:
- Chemical attack
- Clarity
- Temperature
- Liquor/product consistency
- Premature bag failure
Menardi products/services used to help eliminate these problems:
- Tubed, woven PTFE filters (no seam)
- Mikrotex® expanded PTFE membrane laminate
- ePTFE on woven PTFE media
- Filter paper
Solution Highlight
Our pharmaceutical customers with Nutsche-type filters have been able to consistently obtain their desired filtration efficiencies by using our woven PTFE filters with Mikrotex® membrane. We utilize proprietary filter construction techniques and highly efficient filter media to produce this robust, durable, and extremely efficient filter.
