Advanced filtration solutions for the pharmaceutical industry

Metso’s solutions for pharmaceutical filtration include the Larox® RT-GT, Larox® PF, Larox® PF-DS filters. Larox® RT-GT filters offer fully sealed housing (Gas Tight) isolating the process area tighly either for product safety or with inert atmosphere for solvent based processes. The Larox® RT-GT filter can combine mutiple process steps in one single unit including; separation, efficient cake washing and even hot gas drying. Larox® PF and Larox® PF-DS filters achieve low residual cake moistures and high cake washing efficiency due to the horizontal cake formation. 

• Larox® RT-GT filter is designed to have all maintenance components outside the housing, resulting that the housing has to be opened as infrequently as possible.
• Larox® PF and PF-DS filters operate fully automatic, minimizing operator attendance, while at the same time maximizing the availability. The automatic batch operation significantly improves end product quality and reduce final drying cost when compared to centrifuges and traditional filter presses.
• We’ve delivered 190 filters to Pharma producers around the world, helping them save energy, reduce costs, reach required GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration, US authorities) requirements and improve availability. Our filters are easy to adapt to both old and new production lines and can be installed with minimal downtime.
