Recover lost powder, improve batch reconciliation and reduce filter replacement with a Powder Saver Cyclone.
Minimising material loss during powder processing is important to make sure that expensive powders are not wasted. By connecting a Powder Saver Cyclone to the extraction line of a tablet press or capsule filling machine, powders are collected before they reach the central extraction system. This stops filters from becoming blocked and blinded, which then causes a reduction in air pressure, therefore requiring the filters to be replaced.
The Uni-Dust Powder Saver Cyclone is specifically designed to save powders from pharmaceutical OSD processes such as compression and encapsulation, typically capturing 90 – 99.9% of waste powder. It is proven to be equally effective in many other applications including sachet filling, spray drying, inhalation and any other process where excess dust is extracted. The captured waste material can be used for batch loss reconciliation, or even reintroduced to the process (where protocol permits).
Features:
> Compatible with the standard airflows of compression and encapsulation machines
> GMP stainless steel construction
> Designed to be mounted inside the process room for guaranteeing integrity of captured material
> Cyclone can be retrofitted to existing processes
Benefits:
> Prevents blinding and replacement of expensive filters in central dust extraction system or vacuum cleaner
> High efficiency design, typically capturing 90 – 99.9%
> Almost zero maintenance costs, as cyclone has no moving parts and no filters
> Helps pharmaceutical manufactures comply with FDA guidelines on batch reconciliation and yields
> Recovered powder can be reworked and reintroduced, minimising material loss
